Air fryer emits a burning plastic or electrical smell during use.

Safety first: Immediately unplug the air fryer if you smell burning plastic or see smoke. Do not continue using the unit until inspected.

• Inspect interior: After cooling, remove the basket and look for melted plastic utensils, packaging, or liners that may have contacted the heating element. Remove any foreign objects.
• Check heater area: Remove the cover to inspect wiring around the heating element. Look for melted insulation, darkened connectors, or scorch marks.
• Repair wiring: Replace any burned wires or terminals with high-temperature-rated wire and connectors of the same gauge. Do not tape over damaged insulation.
• Board inspection: Examine the main control board for burnt components or discoloration. Replace the board if any damage is found.
• Test carefully: After repairs, run the unit under supervision for a short cycle to confirm the smell is gone. If odor persists, discontinue use and consult a technician.
