6. Kookgids
The 8-quart capacity of the Nuwave Brio Plus Air Fryer allows for cooking various meal sizes. Here are some general guidelines:
- It can accommodate approximately 3 lbs or 18 pieces of chicken wings.
- Suitable for a 9-duim pizza.
- Can cook up to 4 lbs of French fries.

7. Onderhoud en Skoonmaak
Gereelde skoonmaak verseker optimale werkverrigting en verleng die lewensduur van jou lugbraaier.
7.1 Cleaning the Basket and Riser

- The air fry base tray and circulation riser are skottelgoedwasser-veilig.
- Alternatively, wash them with hot, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Do not use metal scouring pads or harsh abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
