Cleaning an air fryer is a simple process that involves a few key steps:
1. Unplug and Cool Down
Before cleaning, always unplug the air fryer and let it cool down completely. This prevents burns and ensures safety.
2. Remove Removable Parts
Most air fryers have removable parts, such as the basket and the pan. These parts are usually dishwasher-safe, making cleaning a breeze.
3. Clean the Basket and Pan
- Dishwasher: If the basket and pan are dishwasher-safe, wash them in the dishwasher.
- Hand Washing: If not dishwasher-safe, hand wash them with warm soapy water. Use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to avoid scratching the surface.
4. Wipe Down the Interior
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the inside of the air fryer, including the heating element. Avoid soaking the air fryer completely.
5. Clean the Exterior
Wipe down the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. Use a mild cleaning solution if needed.
6. Dry Thoroughly
Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling the air fryer.
7. Reassemble and Store
Once everything is dry, reassemble the air fryer and store it in a clean, dry place.
By following these simple steps, you can keep your air fryer clean and in good working order.
