Why does my air fryer oven produce smoke while cooking?

Smoke can occur if there is too much fat or oil dripping to the bottom of the appliance, or if food particles are left from previous cooking sessions. To minimize smoke, ensure that you're not adding excessive oil, use a drip tray or foil to catch drippings, and keep your air fryer oven clean. If you're cooking particularly fatty foods, consider reducing the temperature to prevent oil from smoking.
