Nonstick coating on basket is peeling or flaking

Health and Safety: Discontinue use of heavily flaking baskets to avoid ingesting coating particles.

• Step 1 – Inspect coating: Remove the basket and examine for bubbles, chips, or large areas of missing coating.
• Step 2 – Change cleaning method: Switch to soft sponges and non‑abrasive cleaners. Avoid metal utensils in the basket.
• Step 3 – Replace basket: If significant peeling is present, replace the basket with a genuine Frigidaire replacement part.
• Step 4 – Avoid dry overheating: Do not preheat the air fryer for long periods with an empty basket, as this can accelerate coating damage.
