6. Cleaning and Maintenance
Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your cake mold accessory:
- Cool Down: Always allow the cake mold to cool completely before cleaning.
- Hand Wash: The manufacturer recommends hand washing the cake mold with warm, soapy water.
- Non-Abrasive Cleaning: Use a soft sponge or cloth to clean the non-stick surface. Avoid steel wool, abrasive scrubbers, or harsh detergents that can damage the coating.
- Rinse and Dry: Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately to prevent water spots and maintain the non-stick properties.
- Storage: Store the clean, dry cake mold in a safe place where it will not be scratched or damaged.
7. Troubleshooting
- Food Sticking: Ensure the non-stick coating is intact. Always grease the mold lightly if your recipe requires it, especially for items prone to sticking. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the coating.
- Mold Does Not Fit: Verify that your air fryer is one of the compatible Princess models (182025, 182050, 180160). Check the dimensions of your air fryer basket against the mold's dimensions. Do not force the mold into the basket.
- Uneven Baking: Ensure the air fryer is not overcrowded. Follow recipe guidelines for temperature and time. Air fryers circulate hot air, so ensure there is adequate space around the mold for proper airflow.
