Air fryer leaks oil or liquid from the bottom during or after cooking.

Safety first: Unplug the air fryer and let it cool before cleaning leaked oil. Oil on a hot surface can cause burns or smoke.

Steps to address leaking:

• Check fill level: Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum fill line in the basket and that you are not adding large amounts of liquid directly into the drawer.
• Inspect basket and drawer: Remove the basket and drawer. Fill the drawer with a small amount of water and check for leaks at seams or corners. Look for cracks or warping.
• Check basket fit: Ensure the inner basket locks properly into the outer drawer. If the latch is worn, liquids can bypass the basket and leak out.
• Replace damaged parts: If the drawer or basket is cracked or the non-stick layer is peeling to the point of exposing seams, replace the Kalorik basket and/or drawer assembly.
• Clean thoroughly: Clean any oil from the bottom of the unit and the countertop to prevent odors and potential fire risk.

Do not use the air fryer with a cracked drawer; hot oil can leak onto the heating element and cause smoke or fire.
