Nonstick coating on basket or drawer is peeling or flaking.

Safety first: Discontinue use of any basket with significant flaking to avoid ingesting coating particles.

Steps to address:

• 1. Inspect coating: Remove the basket and drawer and examine for bubbling, flaking, or bare metal.
• 2. Change cleaning habits: Only use soft sponges and non-abrasive cleaners on Granitestone nonstick surfaces. Avoid metal utensils.
• 3. Replace damaged parts: If flaking is present, replace the basket/drawer assembly with an original Granitestone replacement.
• 4. Avoid dry overheating: Do not preheat the air fryer for long periods with an empty basket, as this can stress the coating.
