A Şikayetvar complaint (Oct 2025) reports the top interior ceiling accumulates stains and the unit emits smoke and smell on every use, with no cleaning instructions in the manual for that area.
What to check. If you cook fatty foods, expect smoke and residue buildup in the top interior that the manual doesn't cover; this may be a persistent nuisance rather than a one-off defect.

A Şikayetvar complaint (May 2025) reports a unit bought March 2025 that only heats but never cooks — display works but no fan sound, indicating the fan/motor is not running.
What to check. If the unit heats but produces no fan noise, it will not cook food; this is a service-level failure, not a user error, and should be covered under warranty if within the period.

The Hepsiburada review summary (550 ratings) aggregates owner reports: the basket handle breaks, and the unit emits smoke from its edges and steam on the digital display.
What to check. Check the basket handle for stress cracks before purchase; if buying, treat the handle as a fragile part and inspect it within the return window.

An Amazon.eg review (Turkey, Jan 2023) reports steam and smoke escaping from the front door, filling the kitchen with burnt-oil smell, plus a control panel software fault where pause/cancel and temperature changes don't respond properly.
What to check. Expect smoke/steam leakage from the front door when cooking, and verify the control panel responds to pause/cancel and temperature inputs before relying on it.

A Şikayetvar complaint (Dec 2025) reports a 3-year-old AR2074-B sent to service after failure; the service classified it as 'user error' and denied warranty coverage, citing oil use during cooking.
What to check. Be aware that Arzum service may deny warranty claims by attributing failures to oil use; if you use any oil, document your usage and be prepared to dispute a denial.
