Nuwave air fryer basket coating is peeling or flaking off.

Safety First: Do not continue cooking with heavily flaking nonstick surfaces, as flakes can contaminate food.

Step-by-step checks:

• Inspect coating: Examine the basket and pan for areas where the nonstick layer is bubbling, peeling, or missing.
• Change cleaning method: Switch to soft sponges and non-abrasive cleaners to prevent further damage.
• Replace basket: If significant flaking is present, replace the Nuwave air fryer basket and pan assembly with genuine parts.

Note: Avoid preheating the basket empty at maximum temperature for long periods, as this can accelerate coating wear.
