Air fryer emits a persistent chemical or paint-like odor even after multiple uses.

Safety first: Ensure good ventilation when performing burn-in cycles.

• Deep clean: Wash the pan and basket thoroughly with mild detergent and rinse well.
• Burn-in cycle: Run the fryer empty at 200°C for 15–20 minutes several times, allowing it to cool between cycles.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use oven cleaners or solvents inside the fryer.
• Discontinue use if odor persists: If the smell remains strong, contact Tefal support; internal components may be overheating.
