A grease-laden air fryer guarantees lingering odors, smoke the next time you cook, and an altered taste for your fries or vegetables. Regular cleaning is key to preserving the lifespan of your appliance and enjoying consistently healthy meals. Besides, nobody likes finding food residue stuck to the sides, right? 😅

Simple maintenance also prevents the proliferation of bacteria and allows you to enjoy even cooking every time. In short, a quick step for tastier meals and an air fryer that's like new!

• Soft sponge or non-abrasive brush (to protect the coating)
• Degreasing dishwashing liquid
• Baking soda (great for tough grease!)
• A little white vinegar (optional, to deodorize)
• Clean cloth to dry

Tip: Avoid using metal scouring pads or harsh cleaning products, as they can damage the non-stick basket. Gentle cleaning ensures a long-lasting appliance! 😉

1. Let the appliance cool down : Safety first! Wait until your air fryer is lukewarm before handling it.
2. Remove the removable parts (basket, bin) and empty the food residue.
3. Express soaking : Fill the basket with a little hot water and dish soap, leave for 5 minutes to dissolve the grease.
4. Clean with a soft sponge : It gets everywhere, especially in corners and on the grill. For stubborn stains, sprinkle a little baking soda directly onto the sponge.
5. Rinse and dry thoroughly : Allow to air dry completely or use a clean cloth.
6. Clean the tank and exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Never get water directly on the electrical components!

In less than five minutes, your air fryer is ready to go again for more delicious recipes! 🥔🍗

• Prolonged hot bath: Soak the basket in very hot water with a spoonful of baking soda for 20 minutes.
• Bicarbonate + vinegar: Sprinkle, spray with white vinegar, let it foam then rub gently.
• Repeat the operation if necessary, always without forcing it to avoid scratching.

If nothing else works, consult the Darty maintenance guide or check that your model is dishwasher safe. Some accessories are compatible, but never the electrical base!

• Forgetting to unplug the device before handling it.
• Use an abrasive sponge or scraper on the basket.
• Immerse the electrical part in water (risk of short circuit!).
• Neglecting drying : rust loves humidity…
• Letting the grease accumulate : the longer you wait, the harder it is to remove.

With these good habits, your air fryer will remain efficient and ultra-clean every time you use it! 😍

• Can the basket be put in the dishwasher? Yes, if the manufacturer indicates it. However, hand washing prolongs the life of the coating.
• How to prevent grease from sticking? Use special air fryer baking paper or suitable accessories like those in the Moulinex Easy Fry range to limit residue.
• How often should it be cleaned? After each use, even for small amounts. Regular maintenance means peace of mind!
