Cleaning the inside of your Philips air fryer is essential for maintaining its performance and hygiene. You can effectively clean the interior surfaces and the heating element using simple tools and methods.
To clean the inside of your Philips air fryer, use a soft sponge with hot water. This method is suitable for cleaning both the interior walls and the heating element.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning the Interior
Before you begin cleaning, always ensure your air fryer is unplugged and has completely cooled down.
- Prepare Cleaning Solution: Fill a bowl or sink with hot water and add a small amount of dish soap if desired (check your manual for soap compatibility, but generally mild dish soap is fine).
- Clean the Interior Walls: Dampen a soft sponge in the hot water. Gently wipe down the inside walls of the air fryer chamber. Pay attention to any splatters or residue.
- Address the Heating Element: The heating element is located at the top inside the chamber. Use a soft sponge with hot water to clean the inside and heating element of the appliance. Carefully wipe the element to remove any grease or food particles.
- Tackle Stubborn Residues: If you encounter food residues that are stuck to the heating element, you may need a bit more abrasion. Food residues stuck to the heating element can be removed with a soft to a medium bristle brush. Gently scrub these areas with the brush until the residues loosen.
- Wipe Clean: Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away any remaining soap residue or loosened particles from the interior and heating element.
- Dry Thoroughly: Allow the inside of the air fryer to air dry completely before plugging it back in or using it again. Alternatively, you can carefully dry it with a soft, dry cloth.
