✅ Do's:

📖 Read the Manual:
Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety guidelines in the user manual specific to your air fryer model.

🔥 Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheating helps ensure even cooking and better texture, especially for frozen or dense foods.

🥄 Use a Light Coating of Oil:
A minimal amount of oil can improve flavor and crispiness without compromising health benefits.

🔄 Shake or Rotate During Cooking:
For uniform results, especially with smaller foods like fries or veggies, shake or flip halfway through cooking.

⏰ Monitor Cooking Time:
Check food a few minutes before the recommended time. Air fryers often cook faster than conventional ovens.

🍃 Use Air Fryer-Safe Liners:
Use perforated parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup—make sure airflow isn't blocked.

🌿 Add Seasonings Before and After Cooking:
Toss food with seasonings before air frying and finish with fresh herbs or spices after for enhanced flavor.

🍽️ Cook in Batches for Large Quantities:
Avoid stuffing the basket. Cook in multiple batches for better texture and even cooking.

🧼 Clean After Each Use:
Wipe down the inside, and wash the basket and tray with warm soapy water or a mild detergent like Sunlight.

🚿 Check for Dishwasher-Safe Parts:
Refer to your manual to see which components can be placed in the dishwasher. We recommend rather to hand wash all accessories.

🚫 Don’ts:

🚫 Overcrowd the Basket:
This prevents proper air circulation and leads to unevenly cooked food.

🛢️ Overuse Oil:
Too much oil can cause smoking and negate the benefits of air frying.

💦 Use Wet Batters:
Wet batters tend to drip and make a mess. Use dry coatings or dredge in breadcrumbs/flour.

❌ Skip Preheating:
Neglecting to preheat can lead to soggy or unevenly cooked food.

🍗 Ignore Food Size and Thickness:
Adjust cooking times for larger or thicker foods to ensure they are cooked through.

🍴 Use Unsafe Utensils:
Avoid metal or non-heat-resistant utensils that can damage the basket’s coating or pose safety risks.

🌬️ Block the Vents:
Ensure adequate space around the air fryer and do not block the air vents for safe operation.

🧽 Neglect Regular Cleaning:
Residue buildup can affect taste, performance, and may cause odors or smoke.

🧴 Use Harsh Cleaners:
Avoid abrasive scrubbers or strong chemicals. Stick to soft cloths and mild detergents. We recommend dishwashing liquid ONLY.

🚫 Don’t use foil in any of your air fryers:
Aluminum foil can block airflow, affect cooking performance, and pose a fire hazard if it touches the heating element. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding liners.

✅ Do's to Avoid Rusting:

🧼 Clean Immediately After Use:
Wash the basket and tray promptly after cooking to prevent moisture, grease, and food particles from causing rust. Allow the unit to cool down first.

💨 Dry Thoroughly:
After washing, dry all parts completely with a soft cloth or paper towel. Let them air dry further before reassembling or storing.

🍃 Use Mild Dish Soap:
Use a non-abrasive dishwashing liquid to clean. Harsh chemicals can damage protective coatings.

📦 Store in a Dry Area:
Keep the air fryer in a moisture-free environment. Use silica gel packs or moisture absorbers in humid regions.

🔍 Inspect Regularly:
Periodically check the basket, tray, and heating element for early signs of rust or coating wear.

🚫 Don’ts to Avoid Rusting:

🚿 Don’t Soak for Long Periods:
Avoid soaking parts in water for extended times as it promotes rusting.

🧽 Don’t Use Abrasive Tools:
Scrubbing with steel wool or rough pads can scratch the nonstick surface, exposing metal underneath.

🧴 Don’t Use Harsh Chemicals:
Avoid bleach, oven cleaners, or strong degreasers that can erode protective coatings.

🔒 Don’t Store When Damp:
Never store the air fryer or its parts while they’re still damp. Even small amounts of moisture can lead to rust over time.

❌ Don’t Ignore Scratches or Chips:
If the nonstick coating is damaged, rust can form quickly. Avoid using metal utensils and replace worn parts as needed.
