Note: For best results, preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding food. Always check food for doneness.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Clean the air fryer after every use to prevent food residue buildup and ensure optimal performance.

Cleaning the Frying Basket and Grill Plate

1. Unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Remove the frying basket and grill plate.
3. Wash them with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn residue, soak them in hot soapy water for about 10 minutes.
4. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing or reusing. The basket and grill plate are generally dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended to prolong their lifespan.

Cleaning the Main Unit

1. Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
2. Clean the interior of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth. If necessary, a small amount of mild detergent can be used.
3. Never immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.

Storage

Ensure the appliance is clean, dry, and completely cooled before storing. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your air fryer, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Appliance does not turn on: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the frying basket is fully inserted into the main unit.
• Food is not cooked evenly: Ensure the basket is not overfilled. Shake or flip food items halfway through the cooking process. Adjust temperature or time as needed.
• White smoke coming from the appliance: This can be caused by fatty ingredients dripping onto the heating element. Clean the basket and grill plate thoroughly. Ensure no excessive oil or grease is present.
• Food is not crispy: Ensure food is patted dry before cooking. A light coating of oil can help achieve crispiness. Do not overfill the basket.
• Appliance smells during first use: It is normal for a new appliance to emit a slight odor during its first few uses. This will dissipate with continued use. Ensure good ventilation.
