Maintenance guidance for air fryers focuses on noise reduction and device longevity. Noise issues, such as vibrations or atypical sounds, are often attributed to food particle accumulation in ventilation systems or improper basket alignment caused by heat-induced wear. Cleaning removable parts according to manufacturer manuals is a primary recommendation for addressing these sounds.

To ensure long-term functionality, users are advised to unplug devices after the internal cooling cycle has completed to fully cut the power source. Proper handling of the power cord and ensuring adequate space for heat dissipation are also highlighted as essential maintenance practices.
