Nonstick coating on basket or tray is peeling or flaking.

Safety first: Discontinue use of heavily flaking accessories to avoid ingesting coating particles.

• Step 1 – Inspect coating: Remove the basket and trays and examine for peeling or bubbling.
• Step 2 – Replace accessories: Order replacement air fryer basket and/or crisper tray compatible with your Cuisinart model.
• Step 3 – Prevent recurrence: Use only non-metal utensils and non-abrasive sponges. Avoid running the unit empty at high temperatures for extended periods.
