Key Features:
- Specifically designed for Philips Walita Air Fryer models RI9220, RI9225, RI9230, RI9240.
- Constructed from durable metal for longevity and efficient heat transfer.
- Ideal for baking cakes, casseroles, gratins, and other dishes.

3. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the baking pan from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the baking pan thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely. This removes any manufacturing residues.
- Placement: Ensure your Air Fryer is unplugged and cool. Place the baking pan directly into the Air Fryer basket. Do not place it directly into the main Air Fryer unit without the basket.
4. Operating Instructions
The baking pan is designed to expand the cooking capabilities of your Air Fryer. Always refer to your Air Fryer's main instruction manual for general operation and safety guidelines.
- Food Preparation: Prepare your ingredients as per your recipe. Place food directly into the baking pan. For best results with baked goods, you may lightly grease the pan or use parchment paper.
- Insertion: Carefully place the filled baking pan into the Air Fryer basket. Ensure it sits flat and does not obstruct the air circulation.
- Cooking: Close the Air Fryer drawer. Set the desired temperature and cooking time according to your recipe. The baking pan will heat up with the Air Fryer's circulating hot air.
- Removal: Always use heat-resistant gloves or oven mitts when removing the hot baking pan from the Air Fryer. The handle is designed for easy lifting, but it will be hot.
Safety Precautions:
- Do not touch the hot surfaces of the baking pan during or immediately after use.
- Ensure the baking pan is properly seated in the Air Fryer basket before cooking.
- Avoid using sharp metal utensils that could scratch the non-stick coating. Use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils.
- Keep out of reach of children.
5. Cleaning and Maintenance
Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your baking pan.
- After Each Use: Allow the baking pan to cool completely before cleaning.
- Washing: Wash the baking pan with warm water and a mild dish soap using a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
- Dishwasher Safety: While some non-stick bakeware is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating and extend the product's lifespan.
- Drying: Dry the baking pan thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and ensure proper storage.
- Storage: Store the clean, dry baking pan in a safe place where it will not be scratched or damaged.
