Make sure the basket is fully seated, the timer and temperature are set, the plug is firmly in and the socket works. White smoke is usually grease or oil burning off the heater or the bottom, so clean the basket and interior and avoid overfilling. A smell of burning plastic or no heat at all after these checks needs replacement or service.
Key takeaways
- Basket fully seated.
- Clean grease to stop smoke.
- Do not overfill.
- Burning smell or no heat: stop using it.
