2. Know the Safety Symbols

Look for marks like the UKCA, CE, or British Safety Standard (BSI Kitemark) on your device. These aren’t just labels—they mean your air fryer has passed real-world safety tests. No symbols? No go.

3. Don’t Cook Under the Influence

It sounds obvious, but it’s easily overlooked. Never use your air fryer while intoxicated or overly tired. Distracted cooking—even with “set and forget” gadgets—can turn dangerous fast.

4. Stay Close While It’s On

Air fryers can overheat, malfunction, or catch fire—especially if food spills inside or baskets are overloaded. Even if your model has an auto shut-off, never leave it running unattended.

5. Ditch the Baking Paper

Using baking or parchment paper can block airflow and cause flare-ups, especially if not weighed down by food. Stick with air fryer-safe accessories that allow proper circulation and reduce fire risk.

6. Clean It Like You Mean It

A dirty air fryer isn’t just gross—it’s dangerous. Built-up grease and food particles can ignite. Clean all removable parts after each use, and give the inside a regular wipe-down (when cool).

7. Let It Cool Before Storage

Air fryers generate serious heat. Never stash it under cabinets or in a cupboard while it’s still warm. Let it cool fully to avoid melting nearby materials or damaging the unit itself.
