📄 5. Don’t Use Baking Paper Unless Properly Secured

Loose baking paper (parchment paper) can obstruct airflow and may catch fire if it touches the heating element. If needed, use air fryer-safe liners or accessories specifically designed for your model.

🧼 6. Clean Your Air Fryer After Each Use

Remove the basket and pan, then clean them with warm, soapy water. Regular cleaning:

  • Prevents odors

  • Removes grease buildup

  • Maintains efficiency and hygiene

⚠️ 7. Let Your Air Fryer Cool Before Storing

Avoid placing a hot air fryer under cupboards or in enclosed spaces. Allow it to cool completely in a well-ventilated area to prevent heat damage or fire risks.
