Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning will help maintain the performance and longevity of your Mayer MMAO24 Air Fryer Oven.
- Always unplug the oven from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- Interior: Wipe the interior walls with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive sponge can be used. Ensure the interior is dry before next use.
- Accessories: The wire rack, enameled baking tray, and air fry basket tray can be washed in warm, soapy water. They are also dishwasher safe.
- Removable Crumb Tray: Pull out the crumb tray from the bottom of the oven. Empty any crumbs and wash it with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before reinserting.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Oven does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet issue; timer not set. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Turn the timer knob to the desired cooking time. |
| Food is not cooking evenly. | Overcrowding; incorrect temperature/time; food placement. | Avoid overcrowding the oven. Adjust temperature and time as needed. Ensure food is placed centrally on the rack. Consider using the "Top & Bottom Heat with Fan" function for better circulation. |
| Excessive smoke from oven. | Food residue; fatty foods; initial burn-off. | Clean the oven interior and accessories thoroughly. For fatty foods, use the baking tray to catch drips. A small amount of smoke during first use is normal. |
| Timer not working correctly. | Incorrect setting for short times. | For times less than 20 minutes, turn the timer knob past 20 minutes first, then back to the desired shorter time. |
