Why do air fryers catch fire?

What should you pay attention to when using

Let’s learn it now.

How an Air Fryer Works

An air fryer is actually an oven with a fan.

In general, there is a circle of heating tubes above the pull-out basket in an air fryer, and there is also a fan above the heating tubes. When the air fryer is working, the heating tubes emit heat, and the fan blows air, so that a high-speed circulation of hot air is formed in the air fryer. Under the action of the hot air, the ingredients will gradually dehydrate and become cooked.

The temperature of the air fryer is very high during use. If you use baking paper, oil-absorbing paper, or other paper with a low ignition point and light weight, and it is not completely covered by the food, it is likely to be blown up by the hot air, touch the heating tube and be ignited, causing the machine to short circuit or catch fire.

Precautions for using air fryer

01 Do not place on an induction cooker or open flame

Do not put the air fryer basket (small drawer) into an induction cooker, open flame or even a microwave oven for heating. This will not only damage the "small drawer" of the air fryer, but may also cause a fire.

02 Use safe and secure sockets

The air fryer is a high-power electrical appliance. When using it, you must choose a safe and reliable socket with a rated power that meets the requirements, and use it exclusively to avoid sharing the socket with other high-power appliances, which may cause a short circuit in the wires.

03 Pay attention to the placement of the air fryer

When using an air fryer, place it on a stable platform and do not block the air inlet on the top and the air outlet on the back during use. If you block them with your hands, you may get burned by the hot air.

04 Do not exceed the rated capacity of food

Each time you use it, do not put too much food in the air fryer basket (small drawer), and do not let the food exceed the height of the basket (small drawer). Otherwise, the food will touch the heating device on the top, which may damage the parts of the air fryer and may even cause a fire or explosion.

05 Electronic components cannot be washed directly with water

The frying basket (small drawer) of the air fryer can be cleaned with water, but it must be wiped dry in time after cleaning to ensure that it is dry when used next time. The rest of the air fryer cannot be washed with water, but can be wiped with a rag. Electronic components must be kept dry to prevent short circuits and electric shocks.
