🥶 4. Never Cook Frozen Food That’s Meant to Be Oven-Baked Without Checking First
Some frozen foods (like battered fish or stuffed appetizers) are designed for oven temperatures, not air fryer circulation. If cooked incorrectly, they can splatter, leak, or stay undercooked inside, posing a food safety risk.
✔️ Tip: Always check packaging for air fryer compatibility or adjust cook time/temperature accordingly.
📏 5. Keep It a Safe Distance from the Wall
Air fryers need ventilation — especially models with rear exhaust vents. If placed too close to the wall or in a tight space, the trapped heat can cause overheating or melt nearby surfaces.
✔️ Tip: Leave at least 5 inches of space around your air fryer while in use.
