[@opheliabells]

hello, just got mine and am wondering which accessories would fit in this dual air fryer? i checked the website and they are out of stock on theirs so that be amazon for the win. I'm interested in the dehydrator portion for mushrooms but would definitely need the accessories but not sure which fit since a lot of them fit the full size air fryers?

[@opheliabells]

also just sit in warm soapy water for 5-10 minutes and all the sticky stuff will just come loose without having to scrub.

[@propercushty]

@@opheliabells Thank you! We will try that!

[@propercushty]

@@opheliabells That's a very good question. I can seem to find a definite answer for that on their website. I will check the Ninja guide and see

[@opheliabells]

@@propercushty thanks, i figured out each basket is 4 quart - a total of 8 soooo obviously a small pan and rack. I don't have the bake option as i got mine at Walmart, not Amazon but i do want to make macaroni for sure i guess it will be air fryed macaroni so will need a pan for that. I'm still needing to figure out the difference between bake and air fry hah.

[@captainmatt79_41]

Time does tell and those heating elements get really dirty. Nowhere here do you show how to clean the heating elements, fans and reflectors in the upper housing. Can you show that, it gets really dirty from splatter up there.

[@stevev3664]

Line the trays below the crisper plates with parchment paper. Then you will maximise the life of the trays and only have the crisper plates to wash.

[@propercushty]

Great advice!

[@alansingh9510]

Main unit means the unit itself, drawers and Chrisper plates are the removable parts. Hope this clears up your confusion

[@duncanscutt5879]

how to wash up - fascinating

[@debbieelholm7921]

The drawers sit in the main unit. When it comes to cleaning it, the main unit is not to be washed in water or the dishwasher for electricity and water do not mix. The drawers can be either hand washed or put in the dishwasher.

THANK YOU MAN WHO DISCOVER TECH

[@mscd6174]

People grumbling but I found it useful. I wanted to know what the coating looks like. I have another older ninja which is brill but the baskets don’t have that kind of coating. So, thanks for the vid.

[@xcanuck4]

If you season it like a cast iron pan you can rinse with hot water and a paper towel wipe. No problem. I’ve had mine for 6 months now and use it at least 5 days a week To season just pre heat at 400 for 5 minutes. After 3 minutes pause then wipe basket with oil with a paper towel and turn back on for remaining 2 minutes. Bingo ! Good to go. I repeat once a month.

[@propercushty]

Excellent suggestion! I season my pans but actually never bothered seasoning this! Thanks for the pro tip!

[@xcanuck4]

@@propercushty Another quick tip. After you rinse and wipe clean , you can put the drawers back in the unit set the air fryer temp @400 and set the timer for 4 min and presto, it will dry them completely. I’m lazy I guess. 😂

Why do we need a tutorial on how to wash a removable tray and crisper? It’s common sense to wash it after every use

[@m.averydortchjr1392]

If you own one, look inside the unit at the top where the heating units and the fans are. Its gets gunked up with grease and other residue and they say to use a dry cloth, lol I'm giving the NInja DZ201 to a student to take to college. Anyone can clean the baskets but try and clean the inside top. You can't

[@heidicatcheside1559]

When appliance is cold, and unplugged, gently turn upside down. DO NOT SOAK. Time and patience, now you see what your cleaning. Damp not wet soapy cloth just keep wipe, clean cloth in bowl of soapy water, wring out and repeat till clean. I think there is a saying what you can’t see will Kill You, if there isn’t it does now.

[@Ross-qj7sw]

Yeah you can't really bad design. I removed the fan as mine was oxidising due to the grime on it and contacted customer service to report. Then got told my warranty is void as I removed the fan under the heating element. Asked how your expected to clean it and they couldn't tell me just get saying I've voided my warranty and didn't want to know me

[@Cryptolorian]

His wife must love him!

[@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts]

Think you may have got a bit confused as they did word it badly. The draws they say can NOT go in the DW, is the draw holder were you slide the baskets into. They did divide it into two sections. All that advice came under the unit section. Then the next unit is about the draws the food goes into. The baskets can go into the DW. I think its they way the labeled every thing lol.

[@devinpayette8492]

[@terencebrown7872]

Super skilled man this - I wouldn’t have known how to wash a basket like this without his knowledge and skill. What about the inside of the fryer that gets seriously manky and virtually inaccessible behind the heating eleent - just asking (FFS)

[@FrostThorn]

That's the easy part it's cleaning behind the heating element that's the impossible part

[@propercushty]

oh yeah..easy fix for that... just chuck it out and get a new one!

[@FrostThorn]

@@propercushty tends to be the thing with it, you can kind of clean it using a toothbrush but use a lighter to bend it into an L shape an set it with cold water can kind of scrub under the element that way but it's still not the best

[@user-vf6zz8kx8y]

It is not unthinkable that this is what the manufacturer wants the user to do. They obviously see money lost in a design for a removable element. @@propercushty

[@MelindadelosSantos]

@@user-vf6zz8kx8yPlanned obsolescence?

[@stacey6624]

Could unscrewing the element be easier to clean hard to reach areas. Or personally just wipe down with warm soapy water after every use once unit has safely cooled down. Another thought had was using steam clean. 🤔 what do you think? Any suggestions thanks

[@Dragonfiregum]

I wish Ninja would have used a ceramic coating instead of teflon , sigh.

What is the best way to clean underneath the main unit, where the baskets go in.

[@maggiesteinke7767]

Have you figured this out? I need to clean above the heating elements

[@FitzsMum1]

How do you clean the filters please?

[@rueben2890]

Fill it with water just past crisper and add a little washing liquid, put on max crisp for 10 min then rinse

[@propercushty]

nice suggestion

[@Silverdale15]

Baskets can go into DW if u r fortunate and lazy enough to have such an appliance. It probably takes years off the baskets life so they recommend soaking in hot water and w.up liquid residue soon comes off wash it all up drain it all till dry job done. I also wipe inside the drawer cavity I use a torch to see where splatters are of any fat etc I just wipe around the element carefully every time I use it then it won't build up ! Like an oven keep it clean no problems start to build up of burnt on fat. It's routine that's all. Love my air fryer. I also put parchment paper that fits the ninja under crisper plate thus eliminating even more washing and cleaning worth it !!! Neat trick too as they don't fly around when operating u only have plate to wash up and a quick wipe of drawer...

[@YourFutureEx]

Putting non-stick anything in the dishwasher tends to have weird effects on them. I'd handwash only. I'm interested in this unit but the only reason I'm looking at it is because my Citori 5.8qt air fryer got really dirty and works like crap on the inside of the main unit. Here's to hoping this one doesn't do the same.

[@propercushty]

Good luck with the purchase! Ours is still going strong...still handwash only!

[@kenbrake2828]

100%! Any pan I've ever owned that made it into the dishwasher caused the non-stick surface to break down over time. Even ceramic ones. Non-stick is hand wash only in my eyes. Non-stick pans last MUCH longer that way.

[@Ross-qj7sw]

This is only cleaning the trays near impossible to actually clean inside the unit itself around the heating element. And if you remove the fan to get access to actually clean it it voids your warrenty

[@1955grandprix]

I usually just reach in with a wet rag and wipe the element on top and then back sides and bottom

[@Ross-qj7sw]

Near impossible to clean got one myself and can't clean it just clogs up with grease you can't get access into to clean

[@castortroy365]

Could you put the drawers back in with the plates in and turn it in for a few minutes to totally dry them?

Yep, you can do that. Somebody commented on this video not too long ago saying he/she does this exact thing!

[@YourFutureEx]

I've been doing that for the last year on my Citori, works awesome.

You can slide them out of the way to clean but they gather gunge inside the slot which sits over the edge. Just removed mine and cleaned them with a brush. Fingers crossed I can get them back on when dry

The foil may scratch the non-stick? Baking paper?

[@propercushty]

@@thetaijicentre9704 i highly doubt it. I would imagine this is only the case if you scrunch the foil up and scrub the surface. Foil will probably prevent excessive wear of the non-stick over time and prolong the life if anything but that's just my experience. But yeah baking paper is another alternative

[@slagator]

i just got mine and i cannot get the crisper plates out of each basket to do an initial cleaning.

[@propercushty]

Can you use some sort of lubricant to get it out? Like washing up liquid or something

[@slagator]

i tried that. the baskets don't seem malformed or anything but the crisper plates seem almost welded into the bottom. by watching this video, i can tell there is what looks like silicone or rubber-like inserts in the corners of the crisper plate. i even took a rubber mallet to the underside to see if they would shake loose with some 'tapping'. nope. this thing is going back to the store.

[@propercushty]

@@slagator Oh I see. Yeah there is like a silicon seal on the crisper plates to help keep things in place and possibly to prevent scratching of the non stick. I think perhaps this was just a faulty model. Mine come out just fine!

[@1kia1]

But how did you remove the crisper plate? It's so hard to pull out

[@GR-se7th]

Make sure you put the rubber feet on properly and it should glide in more easily. Also make sure there is no stuck on grease in the tin as it causes more friction.

[@pjlowry4424]

@@GR-se7th The Ninja reviews stated one women got 9 stitches after cutting herself trying to get the crisper plates out. There is only the small raised bar. Again, even my Husband had trouble so I took the rubber feet off and they are much easier to manage and don't get stuck either way.

both baskets are not really dirty, what about after a couple of months of air frying, when hard black marks appear that wont just wash off. Not this nonsense.

[@propercushty]

this video is a guide that shows people how to properly clean the air fryer without damaging your equipment. Heavy black marks might indicate your non-stick coating has worn off - which means you probably need a replacement. This could have occured because you're a heavy user - it might have also occured because it's been scrubbed too hard with abrasive materials. If your non-stick coating has worn off, it's quite bad for your health to carry on cooking your food in it. Maybe invest in a new basket

When you’ve finished cooking, especially after greasy food, use some kitchen roll to wipe away excess oil. Put a pea size of washing up liquid with some hot water and leave for a while. This way you won’t be tipping excess oil down sink and clogging it up. That could be a lot more costly when you have to call out dial a rod because your drains blocked with congealed fat.
