How to remove the odor in the air fryer?

The following are practical methods for removing odors inside air fryers, with detailed instructions on precautions and operating steps:

1. Basic cleaning and deodorization (for mild odors)
Clean the accessories in a timely manner: Immediately clean the frying basket and pan with hot water and dishwashing liquid after use, thoroughly dry them, and then return them to their original position.
Internal cavity wiping: After power-off cooling, use a wrung out hot towel to repeatedly wipe the inner wall 3-4 times, focusing on cleaning the oil residue area.

2. Natural material adsorption method (safe and residue free)
Coffee grounds deodorization: Spread the dried coffee grounds flat in a frying basket, bake at 80 ℃ for 10 minutes, cool down, and discard the residue.
Orange peel/lemon slice baking: Fill the frying basket with fresh fruit peels, heat at 160 ℃ for 5 minutes, and use fruit acid and essential oil to neutralize the greasy taste.

3. Stubborn odor treatment (applicable to heavy oil pollution)
White vinegar steam fumigation: Place a heat-resistant bowl in a frying pan, pour half a cup of white vinegar and half a cup of water, heat at 120 ℃ for 10 minutes, turn off the power and simmer for 15 minutes, and finally use a dry cloth to absorb the water vapor.
Baking soda dry compress method: Sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda powder on the inner wall and let it sit overnight. The next day, use a soft brush to clean it (it is strictly prohibited to add water to mix the paste).

4. Long term odor prevention measures
Isolate odor sources: When cooking high odor foods such as seafood and cured meat, wrap the ingredients in aluminum foil.
Regular ventilation: After each use, open the frying basket and ventilate for 30 minutes to avoid stuffiness and rancid odor.

**Key taboos
Prohibited aromatherapy/chemical spray: essence may release harmful substances when exposed to high temperature, and chemicals may corrode the coating.
Do not rinse the body with water: only accessories should come into contact with the water source, and the circuit part will be damaged if it gets wet.
Heating tube not wiped: When the odor is severe, only use a dry toothbrush to gently sweep the surface dust.
