Non-stick coating on basket is peeling or flaking.

Safety first: Do not continue cooking with heavily flaking non-stick surfaces, as flakes can contaminate food.

• Step 1 – Inspect severity: Remove the basket and examine the interior. Light surface scratches are cosmetic; large areas of missing coating require replacement.
• Step 2 – Stop abrasive cleaning: Switch to soft sponges and non-abrasive cleaners for all future cleaning.
• Step 3 – Replace basket: Order a genuine Ambiano replacement basket/drawer assembly compatible with your model.
• Step 4 – Avoid metal utensils: Use silicone or wooden tools to prevent future damage.
