Possible Causes

Cracked basket or drawer, Misaligned or missing drip tray, Overfilled basket with excess marinade or oil, Damaged nonstick coating allowing seepage at seams

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before handling hot grease or liquids.

Steps to address leaks:

  • 1. Inspect basket and drawer: Remove and examine the basket and drawer for cracks, warping, or gaps at seams.
  • 2. Check drip tray: Ensure the drip tray (if equipped) is installed correctly and not overflowing. Empty and clean it regularly.
  • 3. Avoid excess liquids: Do not cook foods with large amounts of liquid or marinade directly in the basket. Pat foods dry and use minimal oil.
  • 4. Replace damaged parts: If the basket or drawer is cracked or the nonstick coating is peeling at seams, replace the basket/drawer assembly with a Granitestone-compatible part.
