Possible Causes

Damaged non-stick coating causing gaps, Warped or bent drawer, Overfilled basket with excess oil, Missing or damaged silicone seals or gaskets (if equipped)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

Steps to address leaking:

  • 1. Inspect basket and drawer: Remove and examine for cracks, warping, or damage to the non-stick surface that could allow liquids to seep through seams.
  • 2. Check seals and gaskets: Some Proscenic models use silicone seals around the drawer edge or drip tray. Inspect for tears, deformation, or missing sections and replace if needed.
  • 3. Avoid overfilling: Do not exceed the maximum fill line. When cooking foods that release a lot of fat, consider draining excess oil partway through cooking.
  • 4. Level placement: Ensure the air fryer sits level on the countertop so liquids collect evenly in the drawer and do not spill over one side.
  • 5. Replace damaged parts: If the drawer or basket is visibly warped or cracked, replace the entire basket/drawer assembly with a Proscenic-compatible part.

Warning: Clean spilled oil promptly to avoid slip hazards and prevent it from entering the bottom vents.
