Tips for Using the Air Fryer Safely
There are a series of errors when using this appliance that may lead to a breakdown and even cause a fire. Some of them are overfilling the fryer basket; not cleaning it properly (especially when there are flammable residues, such as breadcrumbs or oil); or leave little space between the food and the fan (at least 10 centimeters or what is recommended by the manufacturer).
Others tips for use are to ensure that the fryer is on a flat, stable and heat-resistant surface; maintain free space around the fryer to allow proper air circulation and prevent overheating; do not cover the air vents; regularly clean the filters; and use accessories suitable for this appliance. Likewise, it is advisable to strictly follow the instructions of each manufacturer.
