Operating Instructions

Before First Use

For best results, follow these steps before using your air fryer for the first time:

1. Remove all packaging materials, such as plastic bags and foam inserts.
2. Check to ensure that all parts and accessories are accounted for.
3. Read and remove any stickers on the unit except for the rating label on the bottom, which should remain on the unit.
4. Wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth.
5. Wash the baskets and racks with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.

Prepare to Cook

The air fryer's high-speed fans cook foods quickly. The rubber feet on the racks elevate them to allow air circulation for even cooking and crisping. The racks also allow excess fat to drip down for healthier eating.

CAUTION: Never fill the baskets with oil. Air fryers require little to no oil for a crisp texture. If using oil, toss foods with a small amount in a separate bowl before placing them in the air fryer.

1. Prepare the food(s) you plan to air fry.
2. Place the air fryer on a hard, flat surface and plug it in. The control panel will illuminate. Press the '1' button to activate basket 1, or the '2' button to activate basket 2, for setting cooking time and temperature.
3. Lower the racks into the baskets, ensuring they are secure and level. There should be a small space between the rack(s) and the bottom of the basket(s). Pinch the center grip bar for easier handling.

CAUTION: Never spray baskets or racks with cooking oil from an aerosol spray can, as this can damage the nonstick coating. You may oil racks or spray them with oil from a non-aerosol mister.

4. Put food on the rack(s). Do not fill the basket(s) past the MAX line to allow for good air circulation.
5. Slide the basket(s) into the air fryer. If cooking in only one basket, the other does not need to be in place.

NOTE: On first use, the unit may emit a slight odor, which is normal and will dissipate with use.

How to Cook in One Basket

You can easily cook in just one basket, even though the unit has double-basket capacity and sync functions. The other basket can be removed or left in the unit.

1. Prepare the air fryer for cooking and activate a single basket as described above.
2. Set the time and temperature for the active basket: Press the TEMP button to set temperature, then use the plus or minus sign. Press the TIME button to set time, then use the plus or minus sign.
3. Press START. The interior light will cycle on and off during cooking.

CAUTION: Do not look directly into the heating element light for long periods of time.

During cooking, the SHAKE light will turn on, and the air fryer will beep as a reminder to shake or flip food. The light turns off when the basket is removed and automatically after about 1 minute if the basket is not pulled out. Ignore the warning if your food does not need shaking or flipping.

When the timer is done, the air fryer will beep three times and turn off automatically. The READY light will display. Remove the basket, check food for doneness, and if needed, press the +2 MIN button. Carefully transfer food to plates.

NOTE: While one basket is cooking, you can begin cooking in the other basket. The SYNC BASKETS and SYNC FINISH functions will not be available in this scenario. Simply press the other basket's button and set its time and temperature, then press START.

How to Cook Using Sync Baskets

The SYNC BASKETS button allows both baskets to cook simultaneously with the same time and temperature.

1. Prepare to cook and activate basket 1.
2. With basket 1 activated, set its time and temperature using the TIME/TEMP buttons and +/- signs.
3. Press the SYNC BASKETS button. The air fryer will apply the time and temperature from basket 1 to basket 2.
4. Press START. The interior light will cycle on and off during cooking.

CAUTION: Do not look directly into the interior light for long periods of time.

If you manually adjust the time or temperature of one basket during cooking, the other basket will automatically adjust to match. Pressing the HI-FRY or +2 MIN button will break the sync.

During cooking, SHAKE lights will turn on, and the air fryer will beep as a reminder to shake or flip food. When one basket is removed, both sides pause cooking until the basket is returned. The SHAKE light turns off immediately when the basket is removed and automatically after about 1 minute if the basket is not pulled out. Ignore the alert if your food does not need shaking or flipping.

When the timer is done, the air fryer will beep three times and turn off automatically. The READY lights will display. Remove baskets, check food for doneness, and if needed, press the +2 MIN button. Carefully transfer food to plates.

How to Cook Using Sync Finish

The SYNC FINISH button lets you program two foods with different cooking times and/or temperatures to finish cooking at the same time. The function delays the start of the basket with the shorter cook time.

1. Prepare to cook and activate basket 1.
2. With both baskets in place, set the time and temperature for basket 1 using the TIME/TEMP buttons and +/- signs.
3. Press the '2' button, then set the time and temperature (or a preset function) for basket 2.
4. Press the SYNC FINISH button, then press START. The air fryer will begin cooking on the side with the longer cooking time and delay the start of the other side so they finish together. The waiting basket will display HOLD until it begins cooking.

NOTE: The interior light will cycle on and off periodically during cooking. CAUTION: Do not look directly into the heating element light for long periods of time.

During cooking, the SHAKE light will turn on for both baskets, and the air fryer will beep as a reminder to shake or flip food. When one basket is removed, both sides pause cooking until the basket is returned. The SHAKE light turns off immediately when the basket is removed and automatically after about 1 minute if the basket is not pulled out. Ignore the alert if your food does not need shaking or flipping.

If a timer is adjusted while one basket is waiting to cook, and the shorter time is not increased above the longer time, the finish will remain synced. If either timer is adjusted while both sides are actively cooking (including pressing +2 MIN or HI-FRY), the sync will break, and the SYNC FINISH LED will turn off, but both baskets will continue cooking.

When the timer is done, the air fryer will beep three times and turn off automatically. The READY lights will display. Remove baskets, check food for doneness, and if needed, press the +2 MIN button. Carefully transfer food to plates.

Special Functions

HI-FRY BUTTON

The HI-FRY button illuminates partway through cooking. When pressed, it raises the cooking temperature to 450°F (235°C) for 2 minutes for additional browning. When cooking in Sync modes, pressing HI-FRY on one side raises the temperature only on that basket and breaks the sync.

+2 MIN BUTTON

This button lights up near the end of the cooking cycle. Pressing it adds 2 more minutes of cooking time at the current temperature. It can be pressed multiple times. When cooking in Sync modes, pressing the +2 MIN button will break the sync.

MUTING SOUNDS

The unit beeps to alert you to flip food or that cooking is complete. To mute these beeps, press the MUTE button (the word OFF will illuminate). Press the button again to turn the sound back on.

Air Fryer Cooking Tips

• Crisp Exterior: Oil foods lightly. Some foods benefit from being tossed with a little oil in a separate bowl before frying. High-fat foods or prepared foods may not require additional oil.
• Avoid Wet Batters: Loose batters slide off. Adapt recipes for a thicker coating, using breadcrumbs to help adherence.
• Heat Settings: Medium-high to high heat is best for most cooking, typically between 375°F and 400°F (190°C and 205°C). Use lower temperatures for gentler cooking and reheating.
• Don't Overcrowd: Too much food, especially if tightly packed, inhibits browning and crisping. Fry in batches for better results.
• Shake for Even Cooking: Shaking baskets is beneficial for smaller items like fries or onion rings. For larger or fragile foods, gently toss or flip.
• Check Foods Early: Check foods earlier in the cooking time; you can always slide the basket back in to continue cooking.
• Food Safety: Air fryer temperatures and food sizes vary. Do not rely solely on recipe timing. Check foods for doneness against current safety guidelines before serving.
• Preheating: Preheating is optional but can cook foods faster and promote crisp results. CAUTION: Be careful when adding food after preheating, as the interior will be hot.

Troubleshooting

• Why is there white smoke coming from my unit?

  White smoke may indicate too much fat in the fryer. Avoid cooking very fatty foods and ensure baskets, racks, and the interior are clean before cooking.

• Why has my food cooked unevenly?

  This is likely due to overcrowding or not shaking. Fill baskets loosely for air circulation and shake, toss, or flip foods at least once during cooking for even results.

• Why isn't my food crisp?

  Coating foods very lightly with oil (about 1/2 teaspoon per batch) helps guarantee crisp results, even without added oil. Preheating the fryer also helps.

• Why is the unit displaying an error code?

  Error codes E1 or E2 indicate a loose wire contact or short circuit. Contact Chefman® Customer Support for a replacement.

• What do I do if a rack is missing a rubber foot?

  Rack feet are removable. If one is lost, contact Chefman® Customer Support for a replacement.

• Why does the interior light turn off when my air fryer is cooking?

  The interior light is connected to the heating element, which cycles on and off. The unit is still working when the light turns off.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The nonstick coating on the baskets and racks makes cleaning easy.

1. Unplug the unit and let it cool completely before cleaning. For faster cooling, remove hot baskets.
2. To remove cooled racks, pinch the center grip bar and pull the rack straight up and out of the basket. WARNING: Do not lift the rack out when hot, as injury can occur.
3. Wash baskets and racks with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry well. Baskets and racks are also top-rack dishwasher safe.
4. Wipe the outside and inside of the unit with a damp cloth as needed. Do not put the unit in the dishwasher or submerge it in water or any other liquid. Do not use window cleaner on the windows.
5. Do not use abrasive cleansers on baskets, racks, or the interior/exterior of the appliance, as this could damage the finishes.
