Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the appliance and all accessories from the packaging. Remove any packing materials, stickers, or labels.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all removable parts (air fry basket, racks, pans, crumb tray) in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Wipe the interior and exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are completely dry before use.
- Placement: Place the oven on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 6 inches of clear space on all sides and above the oven for proper air circulation. Do not place it directly under cabinets.
- First Use Burn-Off: It is recommended to run the oven empty for about 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C) before cooking food. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight odor or smoke may be present during this initial use; this is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

If you encounter any issues with your CHEFMAN Air Fryer Toaster Oven, please refer to the common problems and solutions below. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
