Safety: Allow the unit to cool before handling hot oil.

Inspect pan and basket: Remove and check for cracks, warping, or damaged non‑stick surfaces. Replace if any structural damage is found.
Check seals: On models with removable silicone or rubber seals around the pan, ensure they are present and correctly seated.
Avoid overfilling: Do not exceed the maximum fill line or recommended oil quantity.
Clean housing: Wipe any leaked grease from the base and vents to prevent odors and fire risk.
