- Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Interior: For the interior, wipe with a damp cloth. If food residue is stuck, a soft brush can be used. Ensure the interior is dry before next use.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your air fryer, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air fryer does not turn on. | Appliance is not plugged in; power outlet is not functioning; main unit is damaged. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check your circuit breaker. Contact customer support if the issue persists. |
| Food is not cooked evenly. | Baskets are overcrowded; food not shaken or flipped; incorrect temperature/time settings. | Avoid overcrowding baskets; cook in smaller batches if necessary. Utilize the shake reminder and shake/flip food halfway through cooking. Adjust temperature and time as per recipe recommendations. |
| White smoke coming from the appliance. | Grease residue from previous use; fatty foods cooking. | Ensure baskets and crisper trays are thoroughly cleaned after each use. For fatty foods, you may place a small amount of water in the bottom of the basket to prevent smoke. |
| Food is not crispy. | Too much moisture in food; not enough oil (if applicable); incorrect temperature/time. | Pat food dry before air frying. A light spray of oil can enhance crispiness. Increase cooking time or temperature, or use the Hi-Fry function for the last two minutes. |
If these steps do not resolve your issue, please contact Chefman Customer Support.
