Taking care of your air fryer's cooking chamber guarantees delicious meals, healthy cooking, and a long-lasting appliance! Using overly abrasive accessories or products can scratch the non-stick coating, which can cause food to stick or affect the taste. Gently cleaning also prevents unpleasant odors and preserves all the benefits of air frying. In short: gentle care extends the life of your appliance and ensures consistently great meals! 🥳

• Soft sponge or microfiber: To avoid scratching the tub.
• Classic dishwashing liquid: Gentle but effective against grease.
• Baking soda: For tough stains, without damaging the coating.
• White vinegar: Ideal for naturally deodorizing.
• Dry cloth: For wiping after rinsing and to avoid watermarks.

Absolutely avoid metal scrapers, hard brushes or aggressive chemicals that damage the tank and make future cleaning difficult.

1. Let it cool: Always wait until the tank is cold before handling it. Safety first! 🕒
2. Remove the tub and basket: Carefully disassemble them to access all the nooks and crannies.
3. Hand wash: Use a soft sponge, warm water and dish soap. Rub gently, without forcing.
4. For residues: If food is sticking, soak it for 15 minutes in hot soapy water. Add a pinch of baking soda if needed.
5. Rinse and dry: Rinse with clean water then dry with a soft cloth to avoid streaks and preserve shine.
