Keeping your Princess Steam Aerofryer clean and descaled is key to its performance and longevity. Here's a simple guide:
-
Descaling Process:
- When the Cleaning/Descaling icon flashes, it's time to descale.
- Press the descaling icon to start.
- Fill the water tank with water. Add food-grade citric acid or vinegar essence to help dissolve limescale in the steam boiler. Follow the Princess Steam Aerofryer manual guidelines for the correct ratios.
- The descaling process usually takes about 25 minutes.
-
Exterior Cleaning:
- Always unplug and let your Aerofryer cool down before cleaning.
- Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid getting any liquids inside the base of the unit.
-
Cleaning Removable Parts:
- Wash removable parts (frying basket and aero plate) in warm, soapy water using a soft cloth or sponge.
- The basket, aero plate, and condensation tray are dishwasher safe, but handwashing is recommended for extending their life.
- Make sure everything is completely dry before putting it back together.
-
What to Avoid:
- Never use harsh chemical detergents, scouring pads, or powders, as these can damage the parts.
-
Maintenance Tips:
- When using the basket, don't use metal utensils or scouring pads to protect the nonstick coating.
- Regular maintenance will help your Princess Steam Aerofryer work its best and last longer. Following these steps, as suggested in the Princess Steam Aerofryer manual, will help you keep your appliance in top shape and enjoy great cooking results.
