Excessive smoke from the air fryer during normal cooking; sometimes oil droplets around exhaust.

Safety first: If heavy smoke appears, turn off and unplug the unit. Keep the basket closed until smoke subsides to avoid feeding oxygen to any flare-up.

• Remove and clean: After cooling, remove basket and drawer. Discard excess oil and clean thoroughly.
• Clean heater area: Wipe grease from heater guard and interior surfaces as described in the manual.
• Adjust cooking method: Use less oil, pat food dry before cooking, and reduce temperature for fatty foods like bacon or sausages.
• Check for damage: Inspect plastic parts near the heater for heat damage. Replace any warped or melted components.
