Air fryer heat

tony3619

Hello 

Just wondering if this is enough space around the air fryer? All the manual says is "adequate space on all sides"

Cheers

I would say that if things around it get to hot to touch, then it's not enough

Plenty.  Just don't have it rammed tight in a gap and up against the wall.  There could be some grease marks appearing on the base of the cupboard above though so look to keep that wiped.

Heat-wise, yes.

But watch out for it venting out t'back, where you'll find condensation building up on the splashback and wall units.

I worry about the heat at the back not circulating because of the units above it. It definitely gets warm behind it but not hot hot. I've heard that air fryers can scold the top of the units and the possibility the counter top?

When it's running, move your hand around the outside and see where the vent is.  I have to run my airfryer sideways on the counter because it was making condensation drip off under the cupboards with the vent facing to the rear.

Use your judgement. You feel the surfaces becoming 'warm', which presumably means around 40-50oC (the upper end of that range is actually touch-hot). So, do you think that 'warmth' should affect the units?

It shouldn't.

But, what could be is the moisture given off. We have a largish Tefal 'all-in-one', tho' we only use it for 'air'. The steam that comes out t'back, however, is considerable, and our wall unit door above can run with condie if I don't pull the AF out far enough.

To be fair I haven't noticed any condensation on the units, just a warmth from the 2 vents at the back. I think it should be ok. We will see!

I do not have any problems with ours in a similar position, although it is not such a big fancy one 🙂

i keep mine pushed to the back of the worktop and just pull itforwards when in use.

We have the exact same model pictured and just pull it to edge of worktop when in use - same as said above.
