How to clean an air fryer

Your air fryer is a weeknight hero, but the trays and basket can build up grease fast — and the exterior doesn’t escape fingerprints either. A quick clean keeps it fresh, safe, and ready for the next crispy batch.

✔ General Cloth

Step-by-step guide

Step 1
Remove the trays and basket, then spray them liberally with Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner using the Foamer.

Step 2
Massage foam over all surfaces with a damp Scrubby Pad.

Step 3
Let sit for a few minutes to loosen grease and food residues.

Step 4
Rinse thoroughly under hot water, scrubbing as needed with the Scrubby Pad.

Step 5
Allow trays and basket to dry fully before placing them back.

Step 6
For the exterior, unplug the air fryer, spray Universal Cleaner with the Atomiser, leave for two minutes, then wipe with a General Cloth for a streak-free finish.

 

Pro tip

Clean your air fryer after every few uses to avoid build-up that can affect cooking performance and flavour.

 

Safety first: Ensure the air fryer is unplugged before cleaning and completely dry before reconnecting. Avoid spraying solution near or directly on the electrical elements.
