Unplug the Philips Air Fryer, let it cool, then give the basket and tray a quick soak in warm, gentle dish soap. A soft sponge will lift any greasy film without scratching the non‑stick coating.
With the unit upside down, wipe the heating element and the inside of the main body with a damp, soft cloth. For stubborn spots, dab a little soapy water, then rinse with plain water—no soaking the main unit.
Place a few thin lemon slices in the basket, or run a bowl of water and a tablespoon of lemon juice at 150 °C for 5–10 minutes. The steam lifts fishy or spicy aromas, leaving a clean, bright scent.
If lemon isn’t your thing, wipe the basket and tray with a cloth dipped in diluted white vinegar, then rinse and dry thoroughly to avoid any lingering vinegar smell.
For deeper absorption, spread a baking soda paste over the basket and tray, let sit 15–20 minutes, then wipe clean. Overnight, place a dry bowl of baking soda—or a handful of coffee beans—in the basket to soak up residual odors. Clean the basket after every use, especially after oily or heavily spiced meals; line with perforated parchment, avoid overfilling, and run the empty fryer for a few minutes with the drawer open to dry.
Now that your Philips Air Fryer smells like a fresh kitchen, keep a bottle of lemon‑infused water and a small bowl of baking soda in the pantry for quick fixes. Try the citrus steam trick next time you cook fish—your taste buds and your skin will thank you.
