Cleaning your air fryer properly after every use is essential. Be sure to read your model’s manual to check on the specifics. As a rule, avoid abrasive sponges, steel wire brushes and metal utensils that could ruin the non-stick coating. Stay safe by unplugging your air fryer and allowing it to cool down before cleaning it. Don’t submerge it, either; a damp microfibre cloth or non-abrasive sponge with a bit of washing-up liquid is your best bet.
