Opening a Philips Airfryer to access the cooking chamber is a simple process typically involving pulling out the main drawer located at the front of the appliance.
Accessing the Cooking Chamber
To open your Philips Airfryer and place or remove food, you need to access the inner components, which include the pan and the basket.
- Locate the Handle: Find the handle positioned on the front of the Airfryer drawer unit.
- Pull the Drawer: Grip the handle firmly and pull the entire drawer straight out from the main body of the Airfryer. This action opens the cooking compartment.
Once the drawer is pulled out, you will have access to the pan and the basket inside it. The basket is where the food is usually placed for cooking. As part of initial setup or cleaning, you might, for example, need to place the basket back in the pan, as indicated in processes like wiping the inside and outside of the appliance with a moist cloth. This step confirms that the pan and basket system is the part that is accessed when you "open" the Airfryer drawer.
Inside the Airfryer Drawer
Inside the pull-out drawer, you will find the two main cooking components:
- The Pan: This is the outer container that catches drips and holds the basket.
- The Basket: This is the inner perforated container where you place your food. It often has a handle or grip to lift it out of the pan for shaking food or serving.
Accessing these parts is how you interact with the Airfryer for cooking, cleaning, and preparation, such as placing the basket back in the pan after cleaning.
Opening the Airfryer drawer is necessary for:
- Placing food into the basket before cooking.
- Shaking or turning food during the cooking process.
- Removing cooked food.
- Cleaning the pan and basket after use.
The design allows for easy, smooth operation by simply pulling the front handle.
