• Even Cooking: For air frying, shake the fry basket or flip food items halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
• Rack Position: Use the middle rack for most general cooking. The top rack is best for broiling or quick browning, while the bottom rack is suitable for slow cooking or keeping food warm.
• Oil Usage: When air frying, a light coating of oil is often sufficient. Avoid excessive oil to prevent smoking and ensure healthier results.
• Food Size: Cut food into uniform pieces for more consistent cooking.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your oven.

1. Always Unplug: Before cleaning, always unplug the oven from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely.
2. Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may damage the finish.
3. Interior: The interior can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive liquid cleaner can be used. Avoid spraying cleaners directly onto the heating elements.
4. Crumb Tray: The crumb tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly. Slide it out from the bottom of the oven, wash with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly before reinserting.
5. Accessories: The baking pan, oven rack, and fry basket can be washed with warm, soapy water. They are not dishwasher safe.
