Exterior of the air fryer becomes extremely hot to touch during normal use.

Safety first: Avoid touching hot surfaces; use handles only. Unplug and cool before opening.

• Check placement: Ensure the fryer is not placed in a confined space or under cabinets where heat can build up.
• Inspect vents: Clean all vents and ensure airflow is unobstructed.
• Open housing: Inspect internal reflective shields and insulation around the cooking chamber. Look for missing screws, displaced shields, or burnt insulation.
• Replace damaged shields: Refit or replace any warped or missing heat shields with genuine parts.
• Limit high‑temp use: Avoid running at maximum temperature for very long periods if not necessary.
