Burning smell or smoke coming from the air fryer during use.

Safety first: If you see flames, unplug the unit immediately and keep the door closed. Do not use water on grease fires.

• Stop and cool: Turn off and unplug the fryer. Allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Deep clean interior: Remove the basket, tray, and any accessories. Clean them thoroughly with hot soapy water. Wipe the interior walls and around the heating element with a damp cloth to remove grease (do not soak electrical parts).
• Inspect heater area: Look for charred food or grease on the heating element and fan shroud. Carefully remove buildup with a non-abrasive pad.
• Check plastic parts: Inspect nearby plastic shields or fan housings for signs of melting. Replace any deformed parts.
• Ventilation: Ensure vents are clear to prevent overheating. Avoid cooking foods with excessive oil without using a drip tray.
