Burning smell or smoke coming from the air fryer during use.

Safety: If you see flames, unplug the unit immediately and keep the door closed. Do not use water on a grease fire.

Steps to address burning smell or smoke:

• Stop and cool: Turn off and unplug the fryer. Allow it to cool completely before inspection.
• Clean thoroughly: Remove basket and pan. Clean all grease and burnt residue from the basket, pan, and interior surfaces with a non-abrasive sponge and mild detergent. Do not immerse the main unit.
• Inspect heating element: Look for burnt-on food or foil stuck to the element. Gently remove debris without bending the element.
• Check plastic parts: Inspect the basket, handle, and accessories for signs of melting or deformation. Replace any damaged components.
• Internal inspection: If the smell is electrical (sharp, acrid), remove the bottom cover and inspect wiring and connectors for burn marks. Repair or replace any burned connectors and, if necessary, the control board.

Warning: Do not continue using the fryer if you see melted wiring or scorched insulation; have it serviced or replace the unit.
