Basket handle feels loose or wobbly; risk of detaching when lifting.

Safety first: Do not lift a hot basket by a loose handle; support the bottom.

• Tighten screws: With the basket cool, locate and tighten the handle mounting screws using the appropriate screwdriver.
• Inspect for cracks: Check the plastic or metal bracket where the handle attaches. Replace the basket assembly if cracked.
• Avoid overloading: Do not exceed the recommended food weight to prevent future loosening.
• Replace handle or basket: If screws no longer tighten due to stripped threads, replace the handle kit or entire basket assembly.
