Air fryer produces excessive smoke during cooking, especially with fatty foods.

Safety: If you see flames, unplug immediately and keep the drawer closed until the fire is out. Do not use water on grease fires.

• Clean thoroughly: Once cool, remove basket and pan. Clean both with hot soapy water. Wipe the heater guard and interior surfaces with a degreaser, avoiding soaking electrical parts.
• Check drip tray: Ensure the bottom pan or drip tray is correctly installed to catch fat and that it is not overfilled with grease.
• Reduce oil: Use minimal oil and avoid spraying oil directly onto the heater area.
• Cooking practice: For very fatty foods (e.g., bacon), pause mid‑cycle to drain excess fat from the pan.
