Possible Causes

Cooking high-moisture foods without adequate ventilation, Blocked steam outlet, Damaged or missing steam deflector shield, Using lid or cover not designed for the unit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the air fryer before wiping moisture near electrical components.

Steps to manage condensation:

  • 1. Improve ventilation: Ensure the air fryer is not placed under cabinets where steam can condense and drip back onto the unit.
  • 2. Check steam outlets: Inspect the top or rear steam vents for blockages. Clean away grease or food residue that may restrict steam flow.
  • 3. Inspect steam deflector: Some models include a metal or plastic deflector near the outlet. Ensure it is correctly installed and not cracked or missing.
  • 4. Wipe after use: After cooking, unplug the unit and wipe any condensation from the control panel and exterior surfaces.
  • 5. Avoid covering vents: Do not place towels, lids, or other covers over the air fryer during operation, as this traps steam and increases condensation.

Warning: Persistent moisture near the control panel can lead to electrical faults; keep the area dry.
