Condensation or water droplets form around the control panel or drip from the bottom during or after cooking.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or inspection.

• Use drip tray correctly: Ensure the supplied drip tray or pan is installed correctly under the basket to catch fat and moisture.
• Clean exhaust path: Check rear and top vents for grease buildup that can trap moisture. Clean thoroughly.
• Inspect internal channels: Remove the basket and inspect for cracks or gaps in the base where liquids could leak into the cabinet. If present, the inner pot or liner may need replacement.
• Avoid overloading with wet foods: Pat very wet foods dry before cooking and avoid adding water directly into the basket unless the recipe specifies.

Warning: Persistent internal leaks can damage electrical components. If you see water inside the control area, stop using the unit until inspected.
