The air fryer has been giving off a really bad smell that's affecting the taste of the food. I've tried so many things to get rid of it, like running it at a high temperature, soaking the basket and plate in soapy water, washing every surface inside and out, and even using a vinegar and lime mix, but nothing seems to be working. Unfortunately, I bought it as an early Christmas gift and now I can't return it. The smell is even causing problems for my husband's asthma, and I'm worried about what it might be doing to our health. I've had to move it outside and keep running it, hoping the smell will go away, but I'm not very hopeful at this point. I'll update later if I have any success or if I end up giving up and going back to my oven.
