Oil or grease drips from the bottom of the air fryer onto the countertop during or after cooking.

Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before cleaning leaked grease.

• Check fill level: Avoid adding large amounts of oil directly to the basket. Use only light coatings on food.
• Inspect drawer and tray: Remove the drawer and drip tray. Look for cracks, warping, or gaps where liquids can escape. Replace damaged parts.
• Clean channels: Grease can wick through seams if channels are clogged. Clean all grooves and edges thoroughly.
• Use a liner: Consider using approved perforated parchment liners to reduce splatter, ensuring they do not block airflow.

Persistent leakage despite correct use usually indicates a damaged drawer or tray that should be replaced.
