Safety first: Do not ingest any flaked coating; clean thoroughly before further cooking.

Inspect element position: Ensure the heating element is properly mounted and not touching the interior walls.
Remove loose coating: Gently scrape away loose flakes with a non-metallic tool and clean the area.
Avoid harsh cleaners: Use only non-abrasive cleaners approved for coated interiors.
Contact support: Significant coating failure may warrant contacting Ninja support for guidance or panel replacement.

Smoker interior coating blisters or peels near the heating element.
