Interior coating is peeling or flaking, and flakes appear in food.

Safety first: Discontinue use if large flakes are coming off into food.

• Inspect affected parts: Examine the basket, pan, and interior cavity for peeling or flaking non-stick coating.
• Replace damaged components: Replace the basket or pan if their coating is compromised. For severe cavity coating failure, consider replacing the entire unit.
• Future care: Use only non-metallic utensils and non-abrasive cleaners to preserve new coatings.
