- Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers.
- Interior: If the interior of the main unit needs cleaning, wipe it with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a mild detergent on the cloth. Ensure the interior is completely dry before next use.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your air fryer, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air fryer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet issue; unit not properly assembled. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the basket(s) are fully inserted. |
| Food is not cooked evenly. | Overcrowding the basket; insufficient shaking/flipping. | Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in smaller batches if necessary. Shake or flip food halfway through cooking for even results. |
| White smoke coming from the unit. | Grease residue from previous use; high-fat food cooking. | Clean the basket and crisping tray thoroughly after each use. For high-fat foods, drain excess fat during cooking. |
| Air fryer smells like plastic on first use. | New unit burning off manufacturing residue. | This is normal for first use. Run the air fryer empty for 10-15 minutes in a well-ventilated area. The smell should dissipate. |
