Why is black smoke coming from my Instant OMNI PLUS?

If black smoke is coming from your Instant Oven, it could be due to a few reasons. First, try using a neutral oil with a high smoke point such as Canola, Avocado, Soybean, Safflower, or Rice Bran. Food particles or residue on the bottom of the cooking chamber, air fry basket, oven rack, cooking pan, rotisserie spit and forks, or crumb tray can also cause this issue, so remove all accessories and clean the area thoroughly. Lining the crumb tray with aluminum foil can simplify cleanup. If the issue persists, it could be a faulty circuit or heating element, in which case you should contact Customer Care and not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
