Oil or liquid leaks from the bottom of the air fryer onto the countertop.

Safety first: Unplug and allow to cool before cleaning leaked oil.

Steps:

• Inspect pan: Remove the pan and check for cracks, warping, or holes. Replace if damaged.
• Assembly check: Ensure the basket is properly seated in the pan and that the pan is fully inserted into the unit.
• Cooking practices: Avoid adding large amounts of liquid oil; air fryers are designed for minimal oil use.
• Seal inspection: On models with a silicone or rubber seal around the pan, inspect for damage and replace if worn.

Warning: Oil on the countertop can cause slipping hazards; clean thoroughly.
