Possible Causes

Cooking high‑moisture foods, Poor kitchen ventilation, Damaged or missing steam deflector, Excessive preheating with empty basket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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.
