Why is black smoke coming from my Instant VORTEX MINI?
- SSean ThomasJul 28, 2025
If black smoke is coming from your Instant Fryer, it could be due to several reasons. First, you might be using an oil with a low smoke point. In this case, touch Cancel, unplug the air fryer, let it cool, and then use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as avocado, rapeseed, soybean, safflower, or rice bran oil. Another cause might be food residue on the heating coil, in the cooking chamber, or on the accessories. To resolve this, touch Cancel, unplug the air fryer, let it cool, and thoroughly clean the cooking chamber and accessories. Finally, a faulty circuit or heating element could be the cause. In this instance, touch Cancel, unplug the air fryer, let it cool, and contact Customer Care. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
