Crucial Safety Rules:
- Never Put Empty Paper/Foil During Preheat: Airflow will blow lightweight paper into the top heating element, catching fire. Always weigh paper down with food.
- Don’t Cover All Air Holes: Use perforated air fryer parchment paper so convection airflow can circulate freely.
- Foil Rule: Aluminum foil is safe, but avoid using foil with acidic foods (tomatoes, lemons) as it can leach aluminum into food.
