How do I get the burnt-toast smell out of an air fryer?

Our answer

Cool and unplug the fryer, clean the basket and heating-chamber splatter thoroughly, then run a short empty ventilation cycle per its manual.

Why this approach makes sense

Start with the surface or fabric care instructions. A small test in an inconspicuous spot helps avoid damage when treating smells or residues.

Before you try it

Stop if the finish discolours or deteriorates; use a material-specific product rather than adding fragrances to mask the problem.
