Air fryer produces excessive smoke during cooking, especially with fatty foods.

Safety first: If smoke becomes heavy, unplug the unit and open windows. Avoid opening the basket directly under smoke alarms.

• Clean thoroughly: Remove the basket and pan. Clean all grease from the pan, basket, and drip areas with warm soapy water. Wipe the interior surfaces and heater guard.
• Reduce oil: Do not add extra oil directly into the pan. Lightly coat food instead.
• Lower temperature: For very fatty foods (bacon, sausages), cook at a lower temperature and longer time to reduce splatter and smoke.
• Check vents: Ensure rear and top vents are not blocked. Clean any grease film from vent openings.
• Use drip tray correctly: Make sure the pan is properly seated to catch drips and that no foil is blocking airflow.
