Condensation or small water droplets appear around the control panel or on the countertop.

Safety first: Keep the control panel dry to avoid electrical issues.

• Adjust placement: Position the air fryer so that steam vents away from walls and the control panel, typically toward open space.
• Wipe condensation: After cooking, wipe any moisture from the panel and surrounding surfaces.
• Inspect steam deflector: Some models have a plastic or metal deflector near the exhaust. Ensure it is present and correctly installed.
• Check for cracks: Examine the upper housing for cracks that could redirect steam. Replace the housing if damaged.

Warning: Do not allow water to drip into the control panel; this can cause short circuits.
