Position the air fryer so that the front is facing you and the top is accessible.

Using opening picks and a metal spudger, pry open the silver ring on the front, right corner.

Place an opening pick on the left side of the corner to hold the ring away from the cover.

Slide the metal spudger underneath the silver ring. When you find a notch, place the metal spudger next to the notch and pry up to release it.

This process requires a significant amount of force to be applied to the silver ring and top cover of the air fryer. It may result in damage to both tools and the air fryer cover.
