Non-stick coating on the basket or pan is peeling or flaking.

Safety: Discontinue use of severely flaking baskets to avoid ingesting coating particles.

Steps to address peeling coating:

• Inspect surfaces: Examine the basket and pan for areas where the non-stick layer is lifting or missing.
• Replace components: Order a genuine Ultrean replacement basket and/or pan. Do not attempt to recoat with non-approved materials.
• Prevent future damage: Use only silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils. Clean with soft sponges and avoid harsh abrasives.

Note: Peeling coating is not repairable in a food-safe way; replacement is the only recommended solution.
