LG air fryer emits a persistent plastic or chemical odor after several uses.

Safety first: Ensure good ventilation when performing burn-in cycles.

Steps to reduce odors:

• Initial burn-in: Run the air fryer empty (with basket and pan installed) at a medium-high temperature for 15–20 minutes, then cool and repeat once or twice.
• Clean thoroughly: Wash the basket, pan, and removable accessories with warm soapy water. Wipe the interior cavity with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry.
• Remove foreign items: Ensure no stickers, plastic films, or packaging remain inside or near the heater.
• Check accessories: Use only LG-approved or high-quality, heat-safe accessories. Remove any that emit strong odors when heated.

Note: A slight new-appliance smell is normal initially, but strong or worsening chemical odors should be investigated for melting plastic or wiring issues.
