On Top of a Wooden Table or Counter Without Protection<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Air fryers release a lot of heat from the bottom and sides. Placing them directly on a wooden table or counter can cause the surface to overheat, warp, or discolor. Over time, heat damage can become permanent. Worse, prolonged exposure can become a fire risk, especially if the material is coated with varnish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to do instead:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Place your air fryer on a heat-resistant mat, a ceramic tile, or a metal baking sheet to protect your surfaces. Always ensure the surface is flat and stable.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2.

This is extremely dangerous. Air fryers need proper ventilation to release hot air. Using one in a closed environment traps heat and steam, increasing the risk of overheating and electrical failure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Safe practice:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Always operate your air fryer in an open, well-ventilated space with at least 5\u20138 inches of clearance on all sides.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
