AirfryerHQ

Cleaning & care

Keeping the appliance working, and the part of it almost nobody cleans. Every method here comes from a manufacturer manual, and so does every prohibition.

Three things every manual agrees on

Never immerse the main unit, the cord or the plug. Never use anything abrasive on a coated part. Let it cool completely first. Fifteen manufacturer manuals were read for this catalogue and those three appear in nearly all of them with no qualifications attached — which is far more agreement than the same manuals manage about cooking times.

Every part at a glance

20 records, keyed on the part and what collects on it. The dishwasher column is what the manuals for the models AirfryerHQ holds actually say, not a general rule.

Every part, what collects on it, how often it needs doing, and whether it may go in a dishwasher on the models AirfryerHQ holds manuals for.
