ged exposure can become a fire risk, especially if the material is coated with varnish.
What to do instead:
Place your air fryer on a heat-resistant mat, a ceramic tile, or a metal baking sheet to protect your surfaces. Always ensure the surface is flat and stable.
2. Inside a Cabinet or Enclosed Shelf
Many people try to save kitchen space by keeping the air fryer inside a cabinet or shelf—even while cooking. This is extremely dangerous. Air fryers need proper ventilation to release hot air. Using one in a closed environment traps heat and steam, increasing the risk of overheating and electrical failure.
Safe practice:
Always operate your air fryer in an open, well-ventilated space with at least 5–8 inches of clearance on all sides.
