I bought this fryer about a month ago. The user manual does say that initially, there will be a smell when using it. I've been using it for about 4 weeks now and the plastic-like smell still persists. Does anyone has a tip for getting rid of it? null

Did you read, and follow, the initial preparation instructions in the manual? This is what mine said:

Remove all packing material and labels from the inside 
and outside of the air fryer. Check that there is no 
packaging underneath and around the frying basket.
2. Your air fryer is shipped with the frying basket locked 
inside the air fryer body. Firmly grasp the frying basket 
handle to open frying basket and place on a flat, 
clean work area. 
3. Wash frying basket and crisping tray in hot, soapy water. 
4. DO NOT IMMERSE THE AIR FRYER BODY IN WATER. 
Wipe the air fryer body with a damp cloth. 
Dry all parts thoroughly.

If not, that might be why you still have an odor when using. Otherwise, you should return it for an exchange, since the instructions also point out that-- 
"NOTE: During first use, the air fryer may emit a slight odor. This is normal."

Uggg :( Fortunately, mine doesn't smell. I have read that it may at first. You may want to see if they will send you another. Good Luck !

If you smell plastic, maybe something melted in or on it. I have not noticed any smell after the first use.

Just smash it against the wall if it still smells like plastic.
