Possible Causes

Cracked basket or pan, Missing or misaligned drip tray, Overfilled basket with fatty foods, Damaged nonstick coating causing pooling

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.
