These are great instructions for normal (daily cleaning).
This is NOT "deep cleaning" when the fryer has been used by teenagers and not cleaned in a month.

We want advice on HEAVY DUTY CLEANING, not this pansy cleaning on a brand new air fryer. We need industrial strength help.

Literally just got an air fryer today the first time. I'm watching cleaning vids before I start cooking.😆

How about the metal plate underneath the coil heating element? It’s not “deep cleaning” until you clean that!

How to remove the grease on the heating element or coil?

[darkangelify]

cook for 30 minutes, clean for 3 hours each time

[kengtew]

How do you clear the metal behind the heater and fan?

[elizabethchavez]

I place foil at the bottom, it’s been a game changer. the part behind the heat Element is what irritates not being able to clean properly.

How do you clean the bottom slots below the basket in the immediate front?. Lower lip collects grease too

Was thinking about buying one until I saw this video.

[candynewton]

Can you use EZ Off spray for inside grease on elements?

[captinbeyond]

I wonder if you can put aluminum foil under the basket and form another catch basket for drippings? And after cooking something, you just toss the aluminum foil. I hate cleaning up 5 or 6 places after cooking.

Just to let everybody know one of these was given to me that was absolutely the most disgusting vile thing super filthy and I figured I had to clean it and it works perfectly now and the air comes out of the back like it was brand new I clean the fan the coils and the whole entire inside I'm fixing to make a video to show you how to do it

Ok, but even with using dish soap and hot water, you're still putting grease down the drain. I thought you weren't supposed to do that?

Gourmia Airfryer Oven - I bought it 2022 christmas. NOTHING gets the cooked on grease off anything - it adheres to the metal and the inner top area between the 2 heating elements is almost impossible to get to. Of course we tried non abrasive scrubbers, bar keepers, baking soda, norwex rags. I called their CS rep and he laughed at me and told they don't help with how to clean. I thought because it was "stainless steel" I wouldn't have this problem. HA! The basket eats up the scrubber. How do you scrub the medal over the fan without the product getting in through the vents to the fan. Yes, I'm angry.😠

Drying kills many germs, but do remove the gunked buildup first. Non-stick surfaces are easiest to deal with, so do give those air fryers affirmative consideration when purchasing. 👍

Non stick pan half pait was removed how to use it... Can we repaint it?

[pauld]

Just put fairy liquid and water in it then let it heat up for 5/10 mins at 180 then rinse out. Give a quick wash with fairy liquid and a soft sponge then that’s it. Only really need to do it once a week, or cleaning something stinky eg fish or scampi. 👍🏻

Can you put the basket in the dishwasher?
