"Though this appliance is one that many people think is worth its weight in cooking grease (energy efficient, fast cooking times, heats up the house less), it does have some downsides. Overheating is the most concerning, as it poses a serious safety risk - fire. Signs of overheating include smoke coming from the machine, a strong burning smell, and an excessively hot-to-the-touch outer casing."
"When overheating occurs, you may be tempted to let the food inside finish cooking, but is this safe? The short answer: No. According to air fryer manufacturer HYSapientia, if your air fryer is overheating, you should turn it off immediately, unplug it, and allow it to cool down, taking precautions not to touch any hot areas to avoid getting burned."
Air fryers can overheat and pose a fire risk. Signs of overheating include smoke, a strong burning smell, and an excessively hot outer casing. If overheating occurs, turn the appliance off immediately, unplug it, and allow it to cool while avoiding contact with hot areas. After full cooling, inspect vents for debris or blockage and examine the interior for food residue and grease buildup. Stop using the machine if anything abnormal is found and seek inspection by a repair technician. Most overheating results from misuse; reading the model's manual and following recommended settings prevents many issues.
