Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool before cleaning spilled grease.
- Inspect basket and pan: Remove and check for cracks, holes, or warped seams. Replace if damaged.
- Use drip tray: Ensure the drip tray or bottom pan is installed correctly and not overfilled.
- Avoid overfilling: Do not exceed the maximum fill line, especially with high-fat foods that release grease.
- Clean regularly: Wipe out excess grease after each use to prevent overflow in subsequent cycles.
