FAQs
Can I cook different foods at different temperatures in the two baskets?

How do I clean the air fryer baskets?
The baskets can typically be washed with warm, soapy water. Some models may have dishwasher-safe baskets; please consult your user manual for confirmation.

Do I need to use oil when air frying?
