Burning smell or smoke from the air fryer during use.

Safety first: Turn off and unplug the fryer immediately if you see smoke or smell burning plastic. Allow it to cool fully.

• Inspect interior: Remove the basket and check for food stuck on or near the heater. Clean thoroughly with a non‑abrasive sponge and mild detergent.
• Check basket coating: Look for peeling or blistered non‑stick coating. If the coating is badly damaged, replace the basket to avoid fumes and contamination.
• Internal wiring check: With the cover removed, inspect wiring near the heater and fan for melted insulation or burnt connectors. Replace any damaged harnesses and connectors.
• Test after cleaning: Run the fryer empty at a moderate temperature for 10–15 minutes in a well‑ventilated area to burn off residual grease. If smoke or burning smell persists, discontinue use and have it serviced.
