Non‑stick coating inside the basket or drawer is peeling or flaking.

Safety first: Do not ingest flaking non‑stick material. Replace damaged parts promptly.

Steps to address peeling coating:

• Stop using metal tools: Switch to silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils in the Pro Breeze basket.
• Gentle cleaning: Clean with a soft sponge and mild detergent only. Avoid scouring pads.
• Replace basket/drawer: If coating is significantly peeling or bare metal is exposed, replace the basket and/or drawer assembly to maintain safe, non‑stick performance.
• Avoid dry overheating: Do not preheat the air fryer for long periods with an empty basket; this can accelerate coating breakdown.

Warning: Do not attempt to recoat the basket with non‑food‑safe paints or sprays.
