Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your air fryer.

• Cleaning the Basket and Tray: After each use, allow the basket and crisper tray to cool completely. Wash them with warm, soapy water. While some reviews mention dishwasher safety, the manufacturer specifies it is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating.
• Cleaning the Interior: Wipe the interior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a non-abrasive sponge with a small amount of mild detergent. Ensure the interior is dry before storage.
• Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Storage: Ensure the air fryer is clean and dry before storing. Store it in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your GoWISE USA Air Fryer, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Appliance Not Turning On:
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet.
  • Ensure the frying basket is fully inserted into the unit. The air fryer has a safety mechanism that prevents operation if the basket is not properly closed.
• Food Not Cooked Evenly:
  • Ensure you are not overcrowding the basket. Cook in smaller batches if necessary.
  • Shake the basket periodically during cooking, especially for items like fries or smaller pieces of food. The air fryer has a built-in reminder for this.
  • Verify that the correct temperature and time settings are selected for your food type.
• White Smoke Emitting:
  • This can occur if there is excess oil or grease from fatty foods dripping into the bottom pan. Clean the pan after each use.
  • Ensure the crisper tray is properly seated in the basket.
• Appliance Emits Odor:
  • A slight odor may be present during the first few uses due to manufacturing residues. This is normal and will dissipate. Ensure good ventilation.
