How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before cleaning or disassembly.
- Dry the panel: Wipe the touch area with a dry, lint‑free cloth. Ensure no condensation or cleaning fluid remains.
- Relocate appliance: Move the air fryer away from strong electromagnetic sources (e.g., induction hobs, powerful Wi‑Fi routers) and test again.
- Inspect panel for cracks: Replace the front touch panel if you find cracks or delamination.
- Check grounding: Ensure the appliance is plugged into a properly grounded outlet; poor grounding can increase noise susceptibility.
