4. Care and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will extend the life of your Uten Air Fryer Oven Combo.
4.1 Cleaning Instructions
- Unplug: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

- Interior: Wipe the interior of the oven with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For baked-on food, a non-abrasive sponge or brush can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, as they can damage the stainless steel interior.
