The way to keep your air fryer clean and working like new is of course to do a good job of regular cleaning and regular deep cleaning, nothing is set in stone, and no item can be left well cared for and still be around for a long time.

What Is The Best Way To Clean An Air Fryer?

If you want a quick answer then I can tell you that the quickest way to clean your air fryer is to remove the basket and tray and wash them in soapy water. Just wipe down the installation with a clean rag before reassembling.

However, if you care about your air fryer as much as I do, then I advocate that you follow along with me and clean it in every corner.

Recommended Steps For Routine Cleaning And Maintenance:

(1) Disconnect the power supply and cool down at the right time: To clean, the first step is, of course, to disconnect the power supply and to avoid operating at high temperatures.

(2) Wash parts: Wash removable parts such as baskets and trays with warm, soapy water. Although many people are keen to use a dishwasher to complete the cleaning, we don't recommend it as it will accelerate the damage to your parts.

(3) Keep it dry: Make sure everything you've cleaned has been wiped dry before reassembly.

We believe that by adhering to the step-by-step cleaning methods described above, your air fryer will be better maintained.

Deep Cleaning Steps:

 About once a month you'll want to deep clean your air fryer, especially if you regularly use it to cook oily foods. Open up the inside of your machine and if you notice grease buildup and food residue buildup, then immediately follow these steps to save your air fryer:

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to deep clean a dirty air fryer:

(1) Disconnect and cool: Again, disconnect the power and cool in time to prevent burns and electric shock.

(2) Disassemble parts: Carefully remove detachable parts and set them aside for cleaning. Warm water and mild detergent is recommended.

(3) Inside and Outside Cleaning: Wipe the inside of the air fryer with a damp cloth or sponge. Never use steel wool balls, which can cause severe abrasion.

(4) Cleaning the Heating Elements: Heating Elements Child Bugs are small in size and mounted in a hidden location, to clean them of any grease or residue that may have accumulated, it is recommended to use a soft bristle brush or toothbrush, the soft bristles will not cause damage, be careful not to touch the heating coils or loosen any parts. Before reassembling, wipe with a dry cloth and make sure the heating elements are completely dry.

(5) Reassembly: After all parts have been cleaned and dried, reassemble the air fryer according to the round center instructions.

(6) Storage Environment: Store the Air Fryer in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination from dust buildup.

The importance of maintaining a clean air fryer:

Regular cleaning not only helps maintain the performance of your air fryer but also ensures that your food is safe and delicious. Prolonged periods without cleaning can lead to crosstalk between food cooked before and after and affect the flavor.

Tips For Keeping Your Air Fryer Cleaner For Longer

(1) Use a liner: Lining your air fryer with a liner is the easiest way to minimize messes. These paper liners absorb food crumbs and prevent them from sticking to the basket to minimize residue.

(2) Wipe Down Regularly: If you're trying to be as lazy as possible by not doing a deep clean, it's recommended that you give your air fryer a quick clean after each use so that your deep clean doesn't seem as necessary.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Cleaning Your Air Fryer

(1) Improper Cleaning Tools: Using harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, and metal utensils to scrub air fryer internals can damage the nonstick coating inside the air fryer basket or leave harmful residue. Be sure to stick to mild detergent and water.

(2) Failure to clean the heating element: Grease can also accumulate on the heating element, and neglecting to clean it on a daily basis can take a toll on the air fryer's performance over time.

(3) Damp parts: Make sure all parts are completely dry before reassembly. As you can see moisture can affect the performance of the air fryer and cause it to malfunction.

A well-maintained air fryer will not only help you prepare food for a long time but will also prevent flavor cascading between dishes.
