You may like to use your air fryer to make daily breakfast or snacks. That doesn’t matter. But make sure that after every use, you are cleaning your air fryer. Wash the pan, basket & tray with warm water & soap. Instead of a handwashing method, you can use it by your dishwasher.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If the pan or basket is jamming with grease, you should keep it in a mixture of hot water & soap. Leave them for 20 to 30 minutes, after that clean with soft gunk or scrub brush.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Occasionally<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Though we use a minimal amount of oil or grease, so the outside of the Air Fryer stays less greasy than the inner side. We don’t need to clean the outer side frequently. With a damp cloth, we can clean the exterior portion after unplugging. When we use the Air Fryer, the machine & coil stay hot. So it would help if you opened it, then let the coil be cool & take a damp cloth to cool it. It would help if you did these all cleaning processes occasionally.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Deep-Cleaning<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

If you suddenly notice that a foul odor is coming from the Air Fryer, then it’s an issue of food trapping somewhere in or on the appliance. Sometimes food particles can be responsible for this type of situation. Make a solution with baking soda & water. Seriously, do you have any idea that baking soda can solve this problem? With an old toothbrush, do this cleaning thoroughly all the joining & parts of your Air fryer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Clean heating elements<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      Take out all parts to clean the specific heating elements of this machine. Turn it down from the upper side. Clean with a non-abrasive sponge. Sometimes we can find some food stains or the cooking stains on the heating parts. So check out those & wipe out with that damp cloth smoothly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Remove dry food residue.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      You may notice that when we try to fold the foods to take out from it, a little portion can slip out from the tray or pan. And go directly to the inside. If you open the central unit, you can find many little parts of food residue dried up. Take them out from inside, outside, and from the heating materials.

      Before cleaning the pan & basket, you should read out the appliance cleaning instruction from the manufacturer’s guide. Some of these can be dishwasher safe.

      Soak pan & basket<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      If the pan & basket become more sticky or stubborn stains not coming out from both parts, use a trick.\u00a0 After cleaning both with soapy water, could you keep them in hot water? Soak for 20 or 30 minutes & clean with that sponge. If it is not working properly for the first time, you can apply this trick multiple times until you find a satisfactory result.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Let everything dry<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

      Completing all those steps, as mentioned earlier, you should leave every part of the appliance in an open place to let these dry. This can be a matter of one hour, and then you can reassemble all parts. If you don’t have enough time, you are in a hurry, then use clean, soft cotton to dry out the central unit & others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Final thought<\/b><\/h3>\n

      Our instruction is based on the Philips Avance XL, BlackDecker Purify Air Fryer, Digital – Air Fryer. Different model Air fryer instructions can be slightly different. It would help if you did not do anything like preventing air circulation. If it becomes more stinky, use lemon juice or put a half lemon.
