In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of cleaning your air fryer, from pre-cleaning preparation to troubleshooting any common problems that may arise. Read on to learn more!

What You’ll Need

Before you start the cleaning process, it’s important to gather the necessary items. You’ll need a scrubbing pad or soft brush, a cleaning solution (such as dish soap and water), a damp cloth and a dry cloth. Gather these items first so that you’re ready to get started.

It’s also important to make sure that you have the right type of cleaning solution for the surface you’re cleaning. For example, if you’re cleaning a wooden surface, you’ll want to use a mild soap and water solution. For a tile or stone surface, you’ll want to use a stronger cleaning solution. Be sure to read the instructions on the cleaning solution before you use it.

Pre-Cleaning Preparation

Before you start cleaning your air fryer, make sure it is unplugged and not connected to any power source. This prevents damage or potential danger to you or the machine. You should also check the instruction manual that came with your air fryer to make sure you’re cleaning it correctly.

It is also important to remove any food particles or debris from the air fryer before you start cleaning. This can be done by using a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe down the inside of the air fryer. Make sure to get into all the nooks and crannies to ensure that all food particles are removed.

Step 1: Empty the Fryer

Start by emptying the fryer of any foods or leftovers. This includes anything inside the basket and tray. Make sure all the food and debris is removed, as this will make it easier to clean.

Once the fryer is empty, you can begin the cleaning process. Make sure to use a non-abrasive cloth or sponge to wipe down the interior of the fryer. This will help to remove any grease or residue that may have built up over time.

Step 2: Clean the Basket and Tray

Once the inside of the air fryer is empty, you can start cleaning the basket and tray. Use a scrubbing pad or soft brush and your cleaning solution to scrub away any food residue or build-up from the basket and tray. Be sure to rinse them off with water after scrubbing them.

Step 3: Thoroughly Clean the Fryer Interior

Next, you can move on to cleaning the interior of the air fryer. Use the scrubbing pad or soft brush and your cleaning solution to scrub away any food residue or build-up from the inside walls. Be sure to rinse with water once you’re finished.

Step 4: Wipe Down the Exterior

After you’ve cleaned the interior, it’s time to move on to wiping down the exterior. Use a damp cloth and a drop of your cleaning solution and wipe down the exterior of the fryer. Be careful not to use too much moisture so that you don’t damage any electrical components of your air fryer.

Step 5: Reassemble and Test the Fryer

Now that your air fryer is clean, reassemble all pieces and plug it back into power source. Test it out with a few pieces of food (such as french fries or chicken wings) and make sure everything is working properly. If your air fryer isn’t working correctly, troubleshoot any common problems as discussed in the next section.
