After each use of the air fryer, wait until the air fryer is completely cooled before cleaning. Contact with cold water at high temperature may cause damage to the coating or deformation of parts. After removing the detachable parts such as the frying basket and grill, you can wipe the residual oil stains with kitchen paper to reduce the difficulty of subsequent cleaning. For lighter oil stains, you can wipe with warm water and neutral detergent, and avoid using steel wool or hard brushes to scratch the non-stick coating. If you encounter stubborn stains, you can mix baking soda with hot water and soak the parts, or pour it directly into the fryer and heat it to 200℃ for 10 minutes. Use high temperature to soften the oil stains, and then wipe it easily with a soft cloth.
The heating tube above the air fryer is prone to accumulate splashing oil stains. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it may affect the thermal efficiency and even produce odor. It is recommended to spray with diluted neutral detergent at least once a month, let it stand to dissolve the oil stains, and then use a cotton swab to carefully clean the gaps in the tube body, and gently brush the surface with a soft brush. In addition, dust can be removed from the fan blades and air inlet area with a vacuum cleaner or dry cloth to ensure smooth air circulation.
In addition to daily cleaning, it is recommended to perform in-depth maintenance once a quarter. After removing all detachable parts, check whether the sealing ring is aged. After cleaning, turn the frying basket upside down to dry or dry at low temperature to avoid bacteria breeding in a humid environment. The power cord and socket need to be checked regularly. If they are found to be aged or have poor contact, they should be replaced in time to avoid the risk of circuit overload.
