Air fryer exterior becomes excessively hot to the touch during normal use.

Safety first: Use caution when touching the unit during and after cooking. Unplug and cool before inspection.

Ventilation:

• Ensure adequate clearance around the unit and do not operate under cabinets.

Internal inspection (advanced):

• Remove the housing and inspect internal heat shields and reflective panels around the heater.
• Check for missing screws or displaced shields.
• Inspect any insulation material for damage or displacement.

Reposition or replace damaged heat shields and insulation with high-temperature compatible materials. If the plastic housing shows signs of heat deformation, discontinue use and consider replacing the unit.
