How do you remove old oil from an air fryer?

To remove old oil from an air fryer, focus on the areas where spattering occurs: the basket and the inside of the air fryer.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Unplug and Cool Down: Ensure the air fryer is unplugged and completely cool before you begin cleaning.
2. Remove the Basket: Take out the air fryer basket or tray.
3. Clean the Basket/Tray: Wash the basket or tray with a damp cloth dipped in warm, soapy water. This will remove the majority of the oil and grease.
4. De-Gunk the Inside: Wipe down the inside of the air fryer with a damp cloth and warm, soapy water. Pay special attention to areas where oil may have splattered.
5. Check and Clean the Heating Element: Inspect the heating element for any grease or debris. Carefully wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Make sure no water drips into the element.
6. Dry all components thoroughly Before reassembling and using your air fryer.
