Possible Causes

Damaged nonstick coating causing gaps, Warped inner tray not sealing properly, Overfilled basket with excess oil, Cracked basket or tray

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Hot grease can cause burns. Allow the unit to cool before cleaning up spills.

  • Check fill level: Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Avoid adding large amounts of liquid or oil directly to the basket.
  • Inspect tray and basket: Remove the basket and inner tray. Look for cracks, warping, or missing nonstick coating that could allow liquids to seep through.
  • Ensure proper assembly: Confirm the inner tray is seated correctly in the basket and that any drip shield is in place.
  • Replace damaged parts: If the basket or tray is cracked or warped, replace with Oster-compatible replacements.
  • Clean regularly: Wipe up spills from the bottom of the cavity to prevent buildup and smoke.
