Possible Causes

High-moisture foods, Poor kitchen ventilation, Damaged front seal, Drawer not fully closed

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Avoid letting water enter the control panel area. Unplug the unit if moisture is visible near electrical parts.

Steps to reduce condensation:

  • Improve ventilation: Use the air fryer under an extractor hood or near an open window.
  • Check drawer seal: Inspect the drawer gasket/seal (if fitted) for damage or misalignment. Replace if worn.
  • Ensure full closure: Make sure the drawer is fully inserted and latched before starting.
  • Wipe down: After cooking, wipe away condensation from the front and control panel with a dry cloth.

Note: Some condensation is normal when cooking high-moisture foods, but it should not enter the control panel.
