Unit emits a burning plastic or electrical smell during use.

Safety first: Turn off the air fryer, unplug it immediately, and allow it to cool. Do not continue using the unit until the source is identified.

• Inspect interior: After cooling, remove the basket and check for plastic utensils, packaging, or liners that may have contacted the heater.
• Open housing: With the unit unplugged, remove the outer shell and inspect wiring around the heater, fan, and PCB for melted insulation or darkened connectors.
• Tighten and replace connectors: Any discolored or loose spade terminals should be replaced and crimped securely with high-temperature connectors.
• Check PCB: Look for burnt components or scorch marks on the main control PCB. Replace the board if any damage is found.
• Do not ignore odors: If you cannot locate the source, discontinue use and consult a professional, as hidden overheating can be a fire hazard.
