What is it for?
What is the function of the front cover in an air fryer? This component acts as a thermal insulator between the extreme heat of the bowl and your hands. Additionally, it allows you to remove food without burning yourself and ensures the proper sealing of the cooking chamber, an essential aspect for optimal airflow.

Symptoms, when to replace the cover or handle?
Question: How do I know if I need to replace this component?
Answer: It is advisable to change the part if you notice:
- The handle is loose or wobbly.
- The plastic appears visibly cracked.
- You have difficulty properly attaching the bowl to the machine body.
- You notice hot air escaping from the edges of the front while the machine is on.

Our advice
Why does this component break? Cracks are often caused by frequent dishwasher washes at too high temperatures. Another reason is prolonged wear that occurs if the bowl is forced closed. Frequently check that the rear plastic hooks do not have cracks to avoid the handle breaking off completely.

Care and maintenance of the spare part
How to clean and prolong the life of the Moulinex front cover: Constantly wash the outer plastic cover with a slightly damp cloth and a non-aggressive dish soap. Never use abrasive sponges that could irreparably scratch the outer plastic. Although some models are claimed to be machine washable, hand washing is always preferable to avoid unpleasant thermal deformations of the part.

Assembly instructions
How to independently install the front mask for the Moulinex air fryer:
1. Unplug the machine from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the complete bowl and let it cool completely.
3. Locate the fastening screws on the inner back of the drum.
4. Remove the locking devices or free the plastic stops with a suitable screwdriver.
5. Separate the old broken cover and properly align the new component SS-998173.
6. Carefully snap the stops back in place without forcing the plastic to avoid stripping the plastic threads.

Service center advice
Always keep in mind that a slightly misaligned or damaged front causes hot air to escape during frying, ruining the quality of the dishes and risking deforming the adjacent plastics of the appliance.
