The insurer also reported several claims where air fryers had been placed on hobs, which had been accidentally switched on, setting the air fryer alight.
Luke Osborne, deputy technical director at charity Electrical Safety First, warned about the safety risks associated with air fryers which have "become a staple part of our kitchen set-up".
It said there have been some significant home insurance claims over the past four years, after air fryers saw a surge in popularity because of potential energy savings compared with conventional ovens.
Insurance claims following fires caused by air fryers are running into tens of thousands of pounds, an insurer has warned.
Aviva said it had been contacted about air fryers bursting into flames and melting, destroying kitchen surfaces, and speculated on the reasons.
