When you fry greasy ingredients in
the airfryer, a large amount of oil will
leak into the pan. The oil then
produces white smoke and the pan
might heat up more than the usual.
This does not affect the appliance or
the end result.
White smoke is caused by grease
heating up in the pan. Make sure you
clean the unit properly after each
use.
