4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective cleaning:

1. Preparation: Ensure the appliance is cool and unplugged. Remove any loose food debris.
2. Application: Spray the cleaner directly onto the soiled surface. For heavy grease buildup, spray removable parts thoroughly.
3. Dwell Time: Allow the cleaner to sit for 2-3 minutes. This allows the formula to break down baked-on grease and grime.
4. Wipe & Rinse: Thoroughly wipe the treated surface with a damp cloth or sponge. Rinse the cloth frequently with water. Repeat wiping and rinsing if necessary until all residue is removed.
5. Drying: Allow the cleaned surface to air dry completely before reassembling or using the appliance.

4.1. Cleaning Specific Appliances

• Air Fryers: For best results on air fryer baskets or surfaces with non-stick coatings, use a stiff brush or scrubber sponge before cleaning.
• Ovens & Microwaves: Apply directly to interior surfaces. Avoid spraying on electrical components or heating elements.

5. Maintenance and Storage

Regular cleaning helps prevent odor buildup and maintains appliance efficiency.

• Regular Use: For best results, use the cleaner after every use of your air fryer or oven to prevent heavy grease accumulation.
• Storage: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
• Disposal: Dispose of the empty container according to local regulations.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with the cleaner's performance, consider the following:

• Stubborn Grease: For extremely baked-on or thick grease, a second application and a slightly longer dwell time (e.g., 5 minutes) may be necessary. Agitation with a stiff brush or scrubber sponge can also improve results.
• Residue After Wiping: Ensure thorough rinsing with a clean, damp cloth. Multiple wipes with a fresh cloth may be needed to remove all cleaner residue.
• Sprayer Malfunction: Check if the nozzle is clogged. If the sprayer is not functioning, ensure it is properly attached and clear of any blockages.
• Ineffective Cleaning: Confirm the cleaner is being used on appropriate surfaces (not glass, acrylic, plastic, or natural stone). Ensure the surface is cool before application.
