Omg teach me to clean everything like you do!! This was so satisfying to watch how thorough you are and now I think I absolutely must have a steam cleaner! Seen them, before but only for floors-this looks life changing
I like that I can "fry" something on a whim! An oil fryer takes so much more time to clean and prepare ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB a chore which usually kept me from frying all together. Also, the lack of needing oil to fry means that my family and I are eating healthier... while still enjoying the crispiness of fried foods.

Finally a video demonstrating cleaning an actual grease ridden oven. I just bought an air fryer so the advice on what doesn’t work, what works, and what to use will be very helpful!
Oh thank you so much. All the other how-to-clean videos are for basket air fryers, which do not help me at all because mine is an oven style, like yours. I love that you tried all the cleaners and are honest and direct about how they do not work as well as baking soda. I am now so excited to try this method and finally get my air fryer clean.
Thank you so much for all your efforts in informing people how to cook and clean with these wonderful tools. I have an Instant Omni and purchased an Instant Omni Plus for my sister-in-law. We have both watched all your videos so far concerning these ovens. You are amazing and have a natural talent for teaching those of us who are a bit challenged, especially. GREAT!!
Awe you really made my day! Thank you so much. I'm sure it wouldn't surprise you then to know I taught math, lol. It's actually one of the things I love is helping kids who think they are bad at math or hate it, to understand it and maybe even like it.....a little, lol.
This is by far the best video I have seen about cleaning an air fryer. You are so very thorough. Others I have seen mostly just tell you how to clean the basket. Yours is so very helpful. Thank you so much for your time and expertise. Great job. 😊
Great video and recommendations. Especially the very last recommendation to wipe the oven down after every use. I made this video. “How I fixed an Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer.” Every now and then I get a comment, that my video helped, but why did the fryer stop working again after a short period of time. I usually recommend two things. 1. Try to do a good thorough cleaning, especially the thermal fuse which is located on the inside of the ceiling, so the unit and the thermal fuse do not overheat with grease on them 2.Try to operate it in an open space area. Pull it away from the wall and from under a cabinet, so the fan can bring cooler air into the unit while cooking. Next time I will recommend your video!
I know this vid is 3 YEARS old but THANK YOU! I have had a Kalorik for 3 years (love it) and though I keep the accessories clean, have never cleaned the walls (and, boy, do they need it!) The manual and site say to clean with warm soapy water and a sponge or cloth, but NOT how to deep clean to get off baked-on grease (thanks a lot Kalorik). I knew oven cleaner spray would be a bad idea due to the exposed element but didn't want to waste $ on multiple cleaners that didn't work. From the commenters that have tried your method it appears to work great! Finally going to get this baby cleaned up. So tired of looking at gross brown walls. Ick. Thanks again!
My manual recommends using oven cleaner. I don't know if I will ever need to use it. You remind me of my daughter the way you talk and how you move your arms. You even look a little like her. I showed this video to my wife and she couldn't believe it. I'm going to show this video to my daughter tomorrow, she's going to be shocked .
Hi! That's so sweet. :) Your daughter must move her hands a lot because I am definitely a hand talker. I tried once to keep my hands still but it drove me crazy, lol. The manual does say you can use oven cleaner, even though they are not very detailed on how long to leave it on for and exactly where to use it. I know some people have used oven cleaner and it marked up the sides of the oven. Plus it's really hard to get all the residue off which was one thing I didn't like about using the chemical cleaners. I spent more time rinsing and removing the cleaners and in the end, it didn't make much difference. Maybe if you apply the oven cleaner with a paint brush? I would rather have the ceiling a little stained then go through the hassle really.
Going to try this on my Omni Plus that I haven’t really cleaned, except my crumb tray LOL I’ll update you on how it goes! This video is very detailed and appreciate your time you put in!
Thank you! This was exactly what I needed. As a person living with disabilities, there are times when cleaning immediately after use just isn’t an option.
You are a lifesaver! Been staring at my Omni Plus and trying not to cry. I love it.....right now, not so much. Cleaning the inside top is a nightmare. But I am heading to the kitchen to mix up the baking soda and digging out the extra toothbrush! Thank you! I love your videos!
Glad I could help! The best advice I can give is to never cook in it unless it's wiped cleaned. That way the greases won't bake in and you won't have to deep clean it at all. The top is difficult to clean and other than the easy to reach places, don't worry about it as much. Also, try not to cook things that splatter he top level.
I’ve been using my Ninja 10-1 oven for 4 months on a daily basis and using olive oil every time. It was so bad on the inside that the trays were getting stuck on the sides from all of the grease and oil. It took about 20 minutes of work with a sponge with a green plastic side and some Dawn. It works really well. Great video, thank you!
Oh wow, I am so glad it worked for you. My favorite tip is to just wipe it down after every use with a Norwex cloth and you never need to deep clean it. Happy cooking and stay safe.
I hear ya! we were playing this questions game during family night and one of the questions was "What is something you will always find your mom doing?" Everyone answered in unison... Cleaning!
This is SO helpful! I had to throw away my breville mini oven because we didnt clean it after every use and the cooked on grease just became too overwhelming to try and clean! i just got the Omni plus and will be taking all of your great advice here!
I used steam cleaner just for wooden floors., and I love it makes cleaning a blessing. , I'm going to exams me my cleaner if I can add the small brush interesting.. to polish outside I like ve it too I'm going to buy it the polisher . So grateful.
You are literally a lifesaver I just use the Omni for the first Time to make bacon and holy crap I have Black on the burnt on the bottom portion and it won’t come off
Lana Under Pressure thanks lana and by the way when you smile it makes me smile because you are so positive and cheerful and happy and I feel like I’m watching a friend 💜 I also make RUclips video for the IP
I found your video today while looking for ways to clean my Emeril Lagasse air fryer. Thanks for all the great tips, and the details on keeping your fryers clean and new looking. I've had mine for two years, and while I clean it periodically, it's nowhere near as often as you recommend. I'm going to work on it this coming week, and I'm sure your info will help. AND, another shoutout for NORWEX cloths. I love them too!
Hi Lana, I'm loving your videos and I can't believe I'm watching your videos straight. Thank you for your tips and reviews. You're the reason why I bought my Instapot Airfryer Oven.
OMG Thank you so much! I have a different brand oven, but this worked on it too, obviously. I just about gave up air frying meats because of how awful the oven got and then I saw that despite my restraint, it still got pretty bad, just not as fast. My husband was very skeptical, and it took some elbow grease, but it worked! Again, THANK YOU!
Your vid inspired me. I made a paste of Dawn and baking soda and applied with a latex paint brush I no longer use. I just set a timer for a few hours. I'll use my steamer later. Thx.
Thank you so much for this video on cleaning air fryer ovens. I have the Oster one from QVC and this is what I needed to watch. Also subscribed to your channel. Again, Thank YOU!!!
Very good and instructive video. It's so important to let racks and pans soak in soapy water and allow the oven to cool down before wiping the inner surfaces. Makes everything very much easier. I'm making your recipe for tied pork roast rotisserie today :)
Thank you very much. I've been wanting to do a cleaning video for a while. I hope you liek the pork, it's one of my favorite ways to cook it. The closest I have come to the way we cook whole pork in a pit. The next thing I want to try on the rotisserie is slicing meat and stacking it like Lebanese shwarma or Mexian al pastor.
@@LanaUnderPressure Can I send a photo of the roast someplace on the website? My rub was a combination of creole seasoning, mojo (just a bit), and applewood rub seasoning. It's cooking now and my kitchen is perfumed. :)
Lana, I turn my microwave/convection oven upside down to get the top area above the heat coils and can clean it much easier/better. I wish I had thought of using a steam cleaner, great idea. Love your videos. Haven't bought a Vortex Plus yet, waiting for Black "Xday" Sales!
I just spent DAYS cleaning a filthy Philips air fryer, actually breaking the heating element connection when I removed it to clean the heat shields undeneath it ( I was able to repair it successfully and safely). If only I had seen this first, as I tried all kinds of products, brushes, sponges etc., etc. and in the end I actually had to use a steel wool pad lightly after applying and leaving oven cleaner on the metal parts overnight. I bet I have cleaned it 10 times since with mild cleaners including in the end baking soda disolved in water and allowed to steam at 200 degrees 10 minutes at a time. I'm sure your methods would have worked much better! I am particularly impressed with that steamer! What is the difference between regular microfiber towels vs Norex towels? Thanks - you have a new subscriber :)
First, thank you so much for subscribing! Serving, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. It can be a real pain in the tush to clean when they get really messy. I love my steam cleaner. I use it on just about everything in the house. It did a great job in the bathroom ( though not as good on grout as I thought it would). There is definitely a difference between Norwex and regular shammies. Not sure what, lol but I have one for glass and I literally can just use water in a spray bottle and it change my window streakless and perfect. I'm a huge fan of Norwex.
@@LanaUnderPressureAccording to Midwest Magic Cleaning there's a difference between microfiber cloths and "fine" microfiber cloths. He always cleans with a regular microfiber cloth but finishes (polishes) with a "fine" microfiber cloth. Maybe the Norwich fall into the "fine" category?
Thanks for the tips!! The hardest place for me to clean is the bars by the heating elements in the Omni Plus. I'll be giving your tips a try. In case you would like to continue cleaning the Omni/Plus without harsh chemicals, you can use the Norwex polishing cloth after wiping down with the regular cloth for a polished look. They also have a stainless cloth now too.
Oh I love my Norwex polishing cloth and the windows cloth. I had no idea they had a stainless cloth though. I might have to get one of those! Thanks for the tip.
That’s a very thorough and detailed demonstration. So would you use a powered toothbrush to help in those tight areas? Now I’ve seen a another demonstration to clean the wired basket is use Easy Off oven cleaner. Placed it a large zip lock bag with that cleaner and left over night and rinsed off to a sparkling clean the next day. Oh, you didn’t mention if it’s something to avoid cleaning or not. It’s the heating element. Do you avoid cleaning it or getting it wet? Oh! You should mention in case some one over looks it. Make sure to unplug it, someone may inadvertently turns a knob to the powered on position and shock or electrocute themselves.
Hi. Thank you so much. You can get the heating element wet. That's fine. Just don't Scrub it to hard. An electric tooth brush would work great. I. Never thought of that. I don't use easy off because it's really strong and on certain metals and finishes it could etch or mess up the finish.
Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you, my internet was out for 2 weeks due to the tropical storm. Thank you so much for your kind words and I am so glad you find them helpful. Happy cooking and stay safe!
** I am so sorry it took me so long to reply. I returned to teach at my son's high school to help with their teacher shortage due to COVID. It has really cut down on my time to do anything else. Sorry.** You are so welcome!
Here’s a great tip for those that have a Vortex Plus! Costco sells these pre-cut aluminum sheets, which fits the bottom drip tray perfectly. Use this and change as needed so you don’t have to wash it as often.
I put white vinegar in a bowl in the microwave and heat it up a little and it loosens up the grease. Then I use the warm vinegar in a sponge and the grease just wipes right off. You can also add the baking soda in the bowl and after the fizzy action clean with that. I'm wondering how this would work in the air fryer?
I do that for my microwave too. I think in the air fryer the water would evaporate or turn into steam way too slow to fill the oven enough to cut down the grease. But it's worth a shot.
The power XL has like a cover over the fan and heating and for the life of me I do not know how to clean I've been searching and searching and searching and it is caked with bacon grease
When cleaning my filthy microwave oven over the past few years, I just put in a coffee cup filled with a half and half mixture of water and vinegar. I set it on high for about 3-4 minutes and then remove the cup. I can then wipe down the microwave walls, top and bottom and the grease and grime all comes right off with no special effort. I have done this with all sorts of spatters and grease or globs and grime that were on the walls and all of the microwave and made it look so very filthy at the time. I have even done this with my oven, but generally the self-cleaning function seems to work best with it. I have not tried this in my Omni Plus, but I can't see why it would not work there, just as it does with the microwave. Zep really does make some great products, as you said. You may give this a try and see if it works for you or not. Like say, I have not tried it in my Omni Plus, but I just used it for the first time last night. Nice video.
Thank you so much and that is a great idea. I clean my microwave the same way. I have not tried it in the air fryer, but I do know that the air fryer evaporates water very quickly and it might be too hot and have too much air flow to create enough steam to melt the grease. If you try it, I would love to know how it works for you. :)
Have you tried using peroxide with the baking soda? I make a paste with baking soda and peroxide for my stainless juicer - let it sit and the next morning it wipes clean super easy
I’m gonna have to make vinyl stickers for my omni plus 😢. Btw I ordered the newest omni plus and pro 😊. Beside these air fryers my other favorite is one from Goodwise and the Princess house one. Learned a lot how to use the instant airfryers from you.
Nowadays I do vinyl stickers for a living. Love it 🥰. I am organizing my kitchen, nail studio and craftstudio, I’m having a blast making cute vinyl labels for everything 😅
thanx for the info. at my age, i do not clean. i have help. however, i could never expect that type of deep, deep cleaning. i think they need new engineers. should not b that difficult to keep something clean. hence i will never buy an appliance like that. love your videos. so informative.
I agree. But I will say that if you wipe it down after each use, you really don't need to deep clean it. Maybe once every 5 months if that, but it's not necessary. That's just to keep it looking brand new. But I get a lot of questions about cleaning from people who didn't wipe it down after each use thinking it was more like a standard oven.
Thanks for the videos. Very informative. I have the Omni plus and I also have the cylinder heating elements stained brown on the top after one use, and nothing I do will get it off. The bottom ones have grease stains that will not come off no matter I try, and the bottom of the glass panel in the door has collected so much grease. I tried to steam clean it out and it just made it spread out even more. I might need to try and disassemble it and scrape it out because it’s nasty.
Oh goodness, that would drive me crazy! Build up grease on the heating elements is almost impossible to get off. One trick fopr the bottom heating element is if you are using a mode that doesn;t use the bottom heating elements, I cover the whole bottom in foil and push it down in the middle so all the grease and juices accumulate there. As for the door, I would be careful about disassembling it. One thing I found was I took a think paper towel on a toothpick and wedged it under the glass on the underside. then I used the steam cleaner and it helped to collect the grease rather than just push it to the side.
Great video eith tons of information. Thank you!. I've been looking on hiw to do mine and tge onez I've watch they never addressed the area of the heating element. Great idea of the steamer. Could you tell me the brand please. THANK YOU again
Thank you so much for the good tips to clean the air fryer. But how do you clean the inside hard grease of the top electrical element if you don’t have the steam cleaner?
Hi. It can be really hard and honestly after cooking just wipe it down best you can. You can use a cleaning brush or bottle brush to get into tight airwaves but in the end it's a very hard place to clean. One of the downfalls. A good tip is to never cook anything that splatters on the top rack.
If you want to clean the sides turn it on end, if you want to clean the top, turn it upside down, the back wall, Lay it on its back......why make it hard for yourself!
Thanks for inspireing me to look at my 3 month old hysapienta which is very scimilar to yours .Idont have a steam cleanner ,so i will put some boiled water in and turn the oven on for a few minutes .How often do you sugest we do this
Thanks for the video, had hunch that baking soda might do the trick, so atleast I can get rid of the baked grease that was formed up top. Saw a video days ago of an air fryer burned up, good thing the 4 year old daughter called his dad regarding about it and he had to pull it out while it's burning and plastic dripping everywhere. Had my air fryer for 4 months now and I clean the basket after I use it. Although gotta perform a deep clean near the heating element just to make sure that it won't be a fire hazard like the one in the video.
If I am not air frying in my Vortex, but baking or broiling, I cover the trays with cheap, pre-cut foil from Dollar Tree. Works great to keep the trays nice and clean.
I have had my Omni since this video came out & now it's time to deep clean it so I'm back to watching again.. Yes, my letters came off using a stainless cleaner now .. I'm scared to use it .. I don't know what to do with all baked on black stuff .. I can't just put it in the sink & I dunno if I should just wash it in a Rubbermaid & just dump it in the garbage can lol Ugh.. this is why I haven't cleaned it yet 🤣 Dawn Powerwash is amazing I discovered it this year & it is my favorite 🤗
It can be frustrating and I agree Dawn Powerwash is fantastic. I have used it a few times and it has worked on the stuff that's not really baked on. You can use a scrub pad, just use a light touch. They definitely don't make this appliance easy to clean.
Yay I am so glad! I find that when I wipe down the oven after every use, I never really have to deep clean it. Also, Dawn Powerwash I found works really well too on smaller stains.
My Omni plus should be here on Wednesday..Can't wait! Oh Lana, I didn't know about your Amazon connection. I'm sorry now that I didn't use your special link. Eric
I loved your video, but I think I'm going to try the water and vinegar trick first before doing all that scrubbing. BTW, cheap glass cleaner works great on stainless steel, too.
Thank you. This video is really for those who need to deep clean. I don't do this much because I wipe down after cooking every time. It's more for baked on grease where people cook in the oven without cleaning it form the last time. Good luck!
This is great but i have the Omni with heating elements on the bottom and i forgot to out the black tray in the other day 😢 how do i clean the heating elements from grease??
OK. But know that this is for deep cleaning. This is only necessary if you use your air fryer oven and don;t clean it before using again. Then the grease gets baked in. If you clean it after every use, then you only need to wipe it down with a wet Norwex or cleaning cloth.
@@LanaUnderPressure When cooking burgers or steaks I cover them with wax paper so the grease does not splatter as much. I haven't had any trouble doing this, but is it save?
If you don't have plans to use the oven for a couple of days, to clean the top better, you could turn it upside down and place a damp rag oven the baked "mess" and let it sit over night. This will soften it up and make cleaning an easier task.
@@LanaUnderPressure I suppose anything is possible. If you think about it, when it's manufactured and shipped from China, it's bound to be turned all sorts of ways. But the motor and all the components should be fastened in place. Mine is just a couple of months old and has reached that point yet but, when it does I will be trying that. Hopefully it'll work and not come apart on me, which I don't believe it will.

Thank you so much for this video on cleaning air fryer ovens. I have the Oster one from QVC and this is what I needed to watch. Also subscribed to your channel. Again, Thank YOU!!!
Awe yay glad I could hero!
Very good and instructive video. It's so important to let racks and pans soak in soapy water and allow the oven to cool down before wiping the inner surfaces. Makes everything very much easier. I'm making your recipe for tied pork roast rotisserie today :)
Thank you very much. I've been wanting to do a cleaning video for a while. I hope you liek the pork, it's one of my favorite ways to cook it. The closest I have come to the way we cook whole pork in a pit. The next thing I want to try on the rotisserie is slicing meat and stacking it like Lebanese shwarma or Mexian al pastor.
@@LanaUnderPressure Can I send a photo of the roast someplace on the website? My rub was a combination of creole seasoning, mojo (just a bit), and applewood rub seasoning. It's cooking now and my kitchen is perfumed. :)
It’s good to clean the air fryer after every used
Lana, I turn my microwave/convection oven upside down to get the top area above the heat coils and can clean it much easier/better.
I wish I had thought of using a steam cleaner, great idea. Love your videos.
Haven't bought a Vortex Plus yet, waiting for Black "Xday" Sales!
I just spent DAYS cleaning a filthy Philips air fryer, actually breaking the heating element connection when I removed it to clean the heat shields undeneath it ( I was able to repair it successfully and safely). If only I had seen this first, as I tried all kinds of products, brushes, sponges etc., etc. and in the end I actually had to use a steel wool pad lightly after applying and leaving oven cleaner on the metal parts overnight. I bet I have cleaned it 10 times since with mild cleaners including in the end baking soda disolved in water and allowed to steam at 200 degrees 10 minutes at a time. I'm sure your methods would have worked much better! I am particularly impressed with that steamer! What is the difference between regular microfiber towels vs Norex towels? Thanks - you have a new subscriber :)
First, thank you so much for subscribing! Serving, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. It can be a real pain in the tush to clean when they get really messy. I love my steam cleaner. I use it on just about everything in the house. It did a great job in the bathroom ( though not as good on grout as I thought it would). There is definitely a difference between Norwex and regular shammies. Not sure what, lol but I have one for glass and I literally can just use water in a spray bottle and it change my window streakless and perfect. I'm a huge fan of Norwex.
@@LanaUnderPressureAccording to Midwest Magic Cleaning there's a difference between microfiber cloths and "fine" microfiber cloths. He always cleans with a regular microfiber cloth but finishes (polishes) with a "fine" microfiber cloth. Maybe the Norwich fall into the "fine" category?
Thanks 4 the Video! Very Helpful! Put Clear Nailpolish over the Numbers etc! Works a Treat!
Thank you for this thorough video!!! 🎉
Awesome job. Thanks very much and keep making helpful videos.
thank you ... i have been scratching my head for weeks.
Awe you are so welcome!
Well made and helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for the tips!! The hardest place for me to clean is the bars by the heating elements in the Omni Plus. I'll be giving your tips a try. In case you would like to continue cleaning the Omni/Plus without harsh chemicals, you can use the Norwex polishing cloth after wiping down with the regular cloth for a polished look. They also have a stainless cloth now too.
Oh I love my Norwex polishing cloth and the windows cloth. I had no idea they had a stainless cloth though. I might have to get one of those! Thanks for the tip.
i have a similar issue with that spot. this thing is a nightmare to clean I regret buying.
I’m going to try this on my ninja oven! Mine is horrible right now and I’ve tried everything but the baking soda. Thank you!!
Thank you excellent cleaning tips.
Great job. Ty i needed this video. Appreciate your time. You're a smart cookie.
That’s a very thorough and detailed demonstration. So would you use a powered toothbrush to help in those tight areas? Now I’ve seen a another demonstration to clean the wired basket is use Easy Off oven cleaner. Placed it a large zip lock bag with that cleaner and left over night and rinsed off to a sparkling clean the next day. Oh, you didn’t mention if it’s something to avoid cleaning or not. It’s the heating element. Do you avoid cleaning it or getting it wet? Oh! You should mention in case some one over looks it. Make sure to unplug it, someone may inadvertently turns a knob to the powered on position and shock or electrocute themselves.
Hi. Thank you so much. You can get the heating element wet. That's fine. Just don't Scrub it to hard. An electric tooth brush would work great. I. Never thought of that. I don't use easy off because it's really strong and on certain metals and finishes it could etch or mess up the finish.
These aren't even dirty!!!! Even before she cleaned them! Cool, you found something that worked!!
Nice & clear, very informative
Thank you!!! You are priceless!!! Love the video and thank you for it!!! Have a Blessed Day!!!
Awe thank you so much!
Thank you this was exactly what I needed!
Yay so glad!
THANKS for all your help and advise....much apprenticed. great video
You are so welcome! Happy cooking and stay safe!
Got some really good points. I have a Moosoo and want it to look better. Thanks.
This was so helpful! I have the vortex plus and was wondering how to remove all the baked grease on the sides. Thank you for sharing!
Nice video, very well articulated!
Thanks very much , I used baking soda but I didn’t keep more longer time.
This is great info!! I’m adding all the items to my shopping list to get today!
Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you, my internet was out for 2 weeks due to the tropical storm. Thank you so much for your kind words and I am so glad you find them helpful. Happy cooking and stay safe!
Excellent video. Thanks so much for all the great tips.
You are so welcome!
Very good video I as well like my air fryer/over to look new so thanks for the TIPS
** I am so sorry it took me so long to reply. I returned to teach at my son's high school to help with their teacher shortage due to COVID. It has really cut down on my time to do anything else. Sorry.**
You are so welcome!
Here’s a great tip for those that have a Vortex Plus! Costco sells these pre-cut aluminum sheets, which fits the bottom drip tray perfectly. Use this and change as needed so you don’t have to wash it as often.
So does the dollar store
That's not the problem, it's the rest of the inside
Works for Omni Plus also!
Or, use aluminum foil.
The best cleaning the Ninja Air flyer with getting wet on the coil what I can use we bake a lot😊
Thank You So Much. Your tips are excellent; obtain accessories perfect. Thanks again.
You are so welcome!
Wow! Thank you for this!!
I put white vinegar in a bowl in the microwave and heat it up a little and it loosens up the grease. Then I use the warm vinegar in a sponge and the grease just wipes right off. You can also add the baking soda in the bowl and after the fizzy action clean with that. I'm wondering how this would work in the air fryer?
I do that for my microwave too. I think in the air fryer the water would evaporate or turn into steam way too slow to fill the oven enough to cut down the grease. But it's worth a shot.
The power XL has like a cover over the fan and heating and for the life of me I do not know how to clean I've been searching and searching and searching and it is caked with bacon grease
When cleaning my filthy microwave oven over the past few years, I just put in a coffee cup filled with a half and half mixture of water and vinegar. I set it on high for about 3-4 minutes and then remove the cup. I can then wipe down the microwave walls, top and bottom and the grease and grime all comes right off with no special effort. I have done this with all sorts of spatters and grease or globs and grime that were on the walls and all of the microwave and made it look so very filthy at the time. I have even done this with my oven, but generally the self-cleaning function seems to work best with it. I have not tried this in my Omni Plus, but I can't see why it would not work there, just as it does with the microwave. Zep really does make some great products, as you said. You may give this a try and see if it works for you or not. Like say, I have not tried it in my Omni Plus, but I just used it for the first time last night. Nice video.
Thank you so much and that is a great idea. I clean my microwave the same way. I have not tried it in the air fryer, but I do know that the air fryer evaporates water very quickly and it might be too hot and have too much air flow to create enough steam to melt the grease. If you try it, I would love to know how it works for you. :)
I never knew of this way to clean a microwave. That sounds like a great idea.
Have you tried using peroxide with the baking soda? I make a paste with baking soda and peroxide for my stainless juicer - let it sit and the next morning it wipes clean super easy
Oooo no I haven't but I will give it a try! Thank you.
I’m gonna have to make vinyl stickers for my omni plus 😢. Btw I ordered the newest omni plus and pro 😊. Beside these air fryers my other favorite is one from Goodwise and the Princess house one. Learned a lot how to use the instant airfryers from you.
I love vinyl stickers, lol. I put them everywhere.
Nowadays I do vinyl stickers for a living. Love it 🥰. I am organizing my kitchen, nail studio and craftstudio, I’m having a blast making cute vinyl labels for everything 😅
thanx for the info. at my age, i do not clean. i have help. however, i could never expect that type of deep, deep cleaning. i think they need new engineers. should not b that difficult to keep something clean. hence i will never buy an appliance like that. love your videos. so informative.
I agree. But I will say that if you wipe it down after each use, you really don't need to deep clean it. Maybe once every 5 months if that, but it's not necessary. That's just to keep it looking brand new. But I get a lot of questions about cleaning from people who didn't wipe it down after each use thinking it was more like a standard oven.
Thanks for the videos. Very informative. I have the Omni plus and I also have the cylinder heating elements stained brown on the top after one use, and nothing I do will get it off. The bottom ones have grease stains that will not come off no matter I try, and the bottom of the glass panel in the door has collected so much grease. I tried to steam clean it out and it just made it spread out even more. I might need to try and disassemble it and scrape it out because it’s nasty.
Oh goodness, that would drive me crazy! Build up grease on the heating elements is almost impossible to get off. One trick fopr the bottom heating element is if you are using a mode that doesn;t use the bottom heating elements, I cover the whole bottom in foil and push it down in the middle so all the grease and juices accumulate there. As for the door, I would be careful about disassembling it. One thing I found was I took a think paper towel on a toothpick and wedged it under the glass on the underside. then I used the steam cleaner and it helped to collect the grease rather than just push it to the side.
Great video eith tons of information. Thank you!. I've been looking on hiw to do mine and tge onez I've watch they never addressed the area of the heating element. Great idea of the steamer. Could you tell me the brand please. THANK YOU again
Thank you for the wonderful video detailing everything.
Thank you so much for the good tips to clean the air fryer. But how do you clean the inside hard grease of the top electrical element if you don’t have the steam cleaner?
Hi. It can be really hard and honestly after cooking just wipe it down best you can. You can use a cleaning brush or bottle brush to get into tight airwaves but in the end it's a very hard place to clean. One of the downfalls. A good tip is to never cook anything that splatters on the top rack.
Thank you for your reply.
If you want to clean the sides turn it on end, if you want to clean the top, turn it upside down, the back wall, Lay it on its back......why make it hard for yourself!
Thank You
Thanks for inspireing me to look at my 3 month old hysapienta which is very scimilar to yours .Idont have a steam cleanner ,so i will put some boiled water in and turn the oven on for a few minutes .How often do you sugest we do this
Thanks for the video, had hunch that baking soda might do the trick, so atleast I can get rid of the baked grease that was formed up top.
Saw a video days ago of an air fryer burned up, good thing the 4 year old daughter called his dad regarding about it and he had to pull it out while it's burning and plastic dripping everywhere.
Had my air fryer for 4 months now and I clean the basket after I use it. Although gotta perform a deep clean near the heating element just to make sure that it won't be a fire hazard like the one in the video.
OMg I saw that video too!
Thank you Lana!!😊
You are so welcome!
If I am not air frying in my Vortex, but baking or broiling, I cover the trays with cheap, pre-cut foil from Dollar Tree. Works great to keep the trays nice and clean.
I didn’t know about the pre-cut foil. Thanks! I always cover my trays with foil and run them in the dishwasher as necessary!
I have had my Omni since this video came out & now it's time to deep clean it so I'm back to watching again.. Yes, my letters came off using a stainless cleaner now .. I'm scared to use it .. I don't know what to do with all baked on black stuff .. I can't just put it in the sink & I dunno if I should just wash it in a Rubbermaid & just dump it in the garbage can lol Ugh.. this is why I haven't cleaned it yet 🤣
Dawn Powerwash is amazing I discovered it this year & it is my favorite 🤗
It can be frustrating and I agree Dawn Powerwash is fantastic. I have used it a few times and it has worked on the stuff that's not really baked on. You can use a scrub pad, just use a light touch. They definitely don't make this appliance easy to clean.
Great video. Very informative 👏 👌
Glad you liked it :)
Thank you so much! The video was very helpful.
Yay I am so glad! I find that when I wipe down the oven after every use, I never really have to deep clean it. Also, Dawn Powerwash I found works really well too on smaller stains.
My Omni plus should be here on Wednesday..Can't wait!
Oh Lana, I didn't know about your Amazon connection. I'm sorry now that I didn't use your special link.
Eric
You are too sweet. No worries, I'm just glad you got one. You are going to love it! Happy cooking and stay safe.
I loved your video, but I think I'm going to try the water and vinegar trick first before doing all that scrubbing. BTW, cheap glass cleaner works great on stainless steel, too.
Thank you. This video is really for those who need to deep clean. I don't do this much because I wipe down after cooking every time. It's more for baked on grease where people cook in the oven without cleaning it form the last time. Good luck!
Whats the water and vinegar trick?! Please share 🤗
I have heard peroxide is a good stainless steel polish
This is great but i have the Omni with heating elements on the bottom and i forgot to out the black tray in the other day 😢 how do i clean the heating elements from grease??
Thank you for this very informative clip
Thanks to this video dissuaded me to buy an air fryer. I don't have time to clean an air fryer.
OK. But know that this is for deep cleaning. This is only necessary if you use your air fryer oven and don;t clean it before using again. Then the grease gets baked in. If you clean it after every use, then you only need to wipe it down with a wet Norwex or cleaning cloth.
I love my Weiman's for all stainless steel.
Thank you for the information! I just wish there is a better to clean the ceiling :( or to prevent the residue built up on there
You are so welcome. They don;t make it easy to reach the top, but I really don't find it matters much as far as cooking or smoking.
@@LanaUnderPressure When cooking burgers or steaks I cover them with wax paper so the grease does not splatter as much. I haven't had any trouble doing this, but is it save?
How did you clean the door/window of your vortex and how did you remove it?
If you don't have plans to use the oven for a couple of days, to clean the top better, you could turn it upside down and place a damp rag oven the baked "mess" and let it sit over night. This will soften it up and make cleaning an easier task.
I've heard this, but my fear is it will mess with the motor and parts by turning an appliance upside down.
@@LanaUnderPressure I suppose anything is possible. If you think about it, when it's manufactured and shipped from China, it's bound to be turned all sorts of ways. But the motor and all the components should be fastened in place. Mine is just a couple of months old and has reached that point yet but, when it does I will be trying that. Hopefully it'll work and not come apart on me, which I don't believe it will.
