Air fryer basket coating is peeling or flaking off.

Safety first: Do not ingest flaking coating. Discontinue use of a severely peeling basket.

Steps to address peeling coating:

• 1. Stop abrasive cleaning: Use only soft sponges and non-abrasive cleaners on the basket.
• 2. Avoid metal utensils: Use silicone, nylon, or wooden tools to prevent scratching.
• 3. Replace basket: If coating is significantly peeling, order a replacement Insignia basket assembly designed for your model.
• 4. Check temperature settings: Do not exceed the maximum rated temperature and avoid running the unit empty at high heat for long periods.

Warning: Do not attempt to sand and repaint the basket with non-approved coatings; they may not be food-safe at high temperatures.
