Air fryer emits a burning smell or smoke during use.

Safety first: Turn off and unplug immediately. If you see flames, do not open the lid; unplug and use a fire extinguisher rated for electrical/grease fires.

• Allow to cool: Wait until the unit is completely cool before inspecting.
• Inspect interior: Remove basket and tray. Look for burnt food, grease pools, or plastic pieces near the heater and fan. Clean thoroughly with mild detergent and a non‑abrasive sponge.
• Check basket and accessories: Inspect the non‑stick coating for blistering or peeling. Replace any damaged basket or tray.
• Internal wiring: Open the housing and inspect heater wiring and terminals for burn marks or melted insulation. Replace any damaged wiring and secure away from hot surfaces.
• Test run: After cleaning and repairs, run the unit empty at a moderate temperature for 10–15 minutes in a well‑ventilated area to burn off residual odors. If smoke or strong burning smell persists, discontinue use and have the unit professionally inspected.
