How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep electrical cords and outlets away from pooled water.

  • Relocate unit: Move the air fryer to a well‑ventilated area away from walls and cabinets.
  • Check vents: Ensure steam vents are not blocked so moisture can escape properly.
  • Use a mat: Place a heat‑resistant, non‑slip mat under the unit to catch condensation.
  • Wipe down: After cooking, wipe any moisture from the countertop and underside of the unit.
