How to clean the air fryer

1. Unplug the fryer and allow it to cool completely before beginning any cleaning tasks. This ensures safety and prevents accidental burns or electrical issues.
2. Remove the basket and drip tray. These parts are typically detachable and can be washed separately in warm, soapy water.
3. Wash the basket and drip tray with warm water and mild dish soap. Use a soft brush or sponge to loosen any stubborn buildup, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembling.
4. Clean the interior of the fryer with a cloth or sponge dampened with warm water and a mild detergent. Pay attention to areas where oil or foods residues accumulate. Do not submerge the main unit in water or place it under running water.
5. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry the surface well to protect electrical components and keep the finish looking like new.
6. If odors linger, mix warm water with white vinegar or lemon juice and wipe the interior with this solution. Vinegar and lemon help neutralize lingering scents without harsh chemicals.
7. Ensure every part is completely dry before reassembling the fryer or plugging it back in to avoid moisture-related issues.
