Strong plastic or chemical odor persists after several uses.

Safety first: Operate the unit in a well‑ventilated area during initial burn‑in.

• Initial burn‑in: Run the air fryer empty at 400°F for 10–15 minutes, then cool and repeat once or twice. This helps burn off protective coatings.
• Clean thoroughly: Wash the basket, pan, and accessories with warm soapy water and dry completely before use.
• Inspect for melting: Check interior plastic parts for warping or discoloration. Replace any parts that show signs of overheating.
• Use approved accessories: Only use accessories rated for air fryer temperatures. Remove any aftermarket items that may off‑gas.
• Persistent odor: If the smell remains strong and chemical after multiple cycles, discontinue use and have the unit inspected for overheated wiring or components.
