Air fryer leaks oil or liquid onto the countertop during or after cooking.

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

• Check fill level: Do not exceed the maximum fill line in the basket or pan. Excess fat can overflow.
• Inspect pan: Remove the pan and check for warping, cracks, or gaps at the corners. Replace if damaged.
• Check gasket: Some Panasonic pans use a silicone gasket around the edge. Inspect for tears or missing sections and replace if needed.
• Clean residue: Wipe any oil from the base of the unit to prevent odors and smoke.

Warning: Do not operate the air fryer with a cracked or leaking pan; hot oil can cause burns.
