Condensation or water droplets form on the control panel or around the handle during cooking.

Safety first: Avoid letting water drip into electrical areas. Unplug before wiping moisture.

• Improve ventilation: Use the fryer in a well‑ventilated area, away from cold surfaces that encourage condensation.
• Check steam deflector: Some Salter models have a plastic or metal deflector near the front. Ensure it is present and correctly fitted.
• Wipe moisture: After cooking, wipe any condensation from the control panel and handle area.
• Avoid over‑preheating: Do not preheat for long periods without food, which can increase steam condensation when food is added.
