Persistent plastic or chemical smell from a relatively new air fryer after multiple uses.

Safety first: Ensure good kitchen ventilation when performing burn-in cycles.

• Initial cleaning: Wash the basket and drawer thoroughly with warm soapy water and dry completely.
• Burn-in cycle: Run the air fryer empty at 200–220°C for 15–20 minutes, then allow to cool. Repeat 2–3 times if necessary, ensuring no packaging materials remain inside.
• Check accessories: Use only original Gorenje baskets and trays. Remove any third-party silicone liners or foils that may be off-gassing.
• Inspect interior: If smell persists after several cycles, inspect the interior for any plastic parts too close to the heater that may be deforming. Replace the affected inner housing component or contact service.
