Non-stick coating on basket or tray is peeling or flaking.

Safety first: Do not ingest flaking coating. Replace damaged parts promptly.

• Stop using metal tools: Use only silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils in the basket.
• Gentle cleaning: Clean with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid steel wool or scouring pads.
• Replace basket/tray: If coating is significantly peeling, replace the frying basket and/or crisper tray with genuine Gourmia parts.
• Avoid dry overheating: Do not preheat the air fryer for extended periods with an empty basket.
