Possible Causes
Overfilled basket with excess oil, Cracked or warped drawer, Missing or damaged drip tray insert, Food juices overflowing side channels
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
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.
