Condensation or small amounts of water dripping from the air fryer during or after cooking.

Safety: Use caution when handling hot condensate; it can cause burns.

Steps to manage condensation:

• Recognize normal behavior: Some condensation around the exhaust vents or under the unit is normal when cooking high-moisture foods.
• Improve ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the fryer to help moisture dissipate.
• Use a drip tray: Place a heat-resistant mat or tray under the fryer to catch any drips.
• Check for cracks: If you suspect actual water leakage from inside the unit (not just condensation), inspect the pan and interior for cracks and replace damaged parts.

Note: Persistent pooling of water inside the electronics area is not normal and requires inspection for cracks or seal failures.
