How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Avoid directing steam toward electrical outlets or other appliances.

  • Improve ventilation: Move the air fryer away from walls and overhead cabinets. Allow steam to dissipate freely.
  • Clean steam vents: Locate and clear any steam or exhaust vents of grease and debris.
  • Wipe condensation: After cooking, wipe moisture from the control panel and exterior to prevent seepage into electronics.
  • Check seals: Inspect the basket and door seals for gaps or damage. Replace worn seals if available for your model.
  • Avoid covering vents: Do not place towels or covers over the unit while it is hot.
