Air fryer leaks oil or liquid from the bottom during or after cooking.

Safety first: Unplug the unit and let it cool before cleaning leaked oil.

• Step 1 – Inspect basket and drawer: Remove and wash both. Check for cracks, warping, or worn non-stick coating, especially at seams and corners.
• Step 2 – Check capacity: Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum fill line or adding large amounts of liquid, which air fryers are not designed to contain.
• Step 3 – Replace damaged parts: If cracks or severe coating damage are found, replace the basket or drawer assembly with genuine Vida by PADERNO parts.
• Step 4 – Clean interior: Wipe any leaked oil from the base and heating area to prevent smoke and odors.

Warning: Do not attempt to seal cracks with household glues or sealants; they are not food-safe at high temperatures.
