FAQS:
Is there a special way to clean the bottom of the basket where oil drips?
Yes, there is. For stubborn bits, use a toothbrush or nylon scrub pad (only if it’s safe with the material). The black cover on the unit should be wiped down often in order to prevent a greasy film from building up for this part of the process.
Why does my fryer smell like it is burning when I start cooking?
The machine may be dirty (take it out and clean) or may need extra care when cooking at lower heat levels. Try starting again but adjusting heat accordingly. If the problem persists, contact Breville customer service.
Can I put my air fryer rack in the dishwasher?
Yes, you can. However, do not clean the basket in the dishwasher. The
basket contains a heating element that should never be submerged in water.
How often should I clean my air fryer?
It’s best to deep clean at least once a week and wipes down the exterior (interior) with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the cooking basket in water; it contains a heating element that should never be submerged in water.
Does it matter which setting I use, or will any setting work?
Yes, it does matter which setting you choose because some modes may reduce your food’s moisture level and crispiness. Always read your user manual for specific instructions on how to get the desired result from using lower heat levels. Should you experience issues such as burning, adjust your settings accordingly.
Do I need to season my Air Fryer?
No seasoning required! It comes ready to use; however, following the manufacturer’s instructions and user manual is always best.
