1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or unit body in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. If this should occur, please contact Chefman Customer Support for assistance.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
14. This product is not a deep fryer. It is NOT meant to be filled with oil. Never fill the basket or any parts of the Air Fryer with oil. If you choose to use oil, lightly toss food with oil in a separate bowl and then transfer food to the tray inside the basket.
15. When using this appliance, provide adequate ventilation above and on all sides for air circulation. Do not allow this appliance to touch curtains, wall coverings, clothing, dish towels, or other flammable materials during use. Do not cover air fryer and ensure air vents, located on the back of the fryer, are not covered.
16. This appliance generates heat during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fire, or other damage to persons or property. Keep hands clear of the immediate area surrounding the Air Fryer during operation and use grips and handles on the appliance when operating. Do not put hands or other body parts inside the Air Fryer housing while in use or hot.
17. Use caution when opening the Air Fryer. The inside of the basket and its contents are very hot. Use tongs or protective gloves to remove food from basket.
18. Do not move the Air Fryer while it is in use and/or full of food.
19. Always unplug Air Fryer after use.
20. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull firmly.
21. Never place the Air Fryer in the dishwasher. This product housing cannot be immersed in water and is not dishwasher safe. Only the tray and the basket itself can be submerged in water. The basket and tray are top-rack dishwasher safe.
22. The housing of the Air Fryer can be wiped down between uses with a non-abrasive cleaner.
23. Store Air Fryer in a cool, dry place.
24. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance during use or storage; this may cause the wire to fray and break.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

[!] Do not place the appliance on a stovetop or any other heatable surface.

Short Cord Instructions

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and:
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Power Cord Safety Tips

1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced. If this should occur, please contact Chefman Customer Support for assistance.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.

IMPORTANT: During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor. This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance has been used a few more times.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Operating Instructions

Before First Use

1. Remove all packing materials and stickers from the inside and outside of the Air Fryer. Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel. WARNING: Never immerse the Air Fryer or its plug in water or any other liquids.
2. Pull the basket handle to remove the basket from the Air Fryer. Use the tray handle, in the center of the tray, to remove the tray. Wash the inside and outside of the basket and tray with a sponge and warm, soapy water. The basket and the tray are top-rack dishwasher safe.
3. Warning: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads.
4. Dry thoroughly.

Read all instructions and follow them carefully.

How to Use

1. Prepare the basket and desired food. Use the tray handle to insert the tray into the basket. Push down to ensure it is secure and in a leveled position. There should be a small amount of space between the tray and the bottom of the basket.

   Note: Using the Air Fryer with the tray in place allows for maximum air circulation, which promotes even cooking and crispiness.

   Warning: Never fill the basket with oil. Unlike deep fryers, air fryers require little to no oil to produce crispy results. If you choose to use oil, toss food with oil in a separate bowl and then transfer food to the tray inside the basket.

2. Put food on tray. Refer to the cooking tips table for recommended maximum amounts of food, cooking times, temperatures, and tips.
3. Put the basket into the Air Fryer. Use the Basket Handle to insert the basket into the Air Fryer. Push to close.
4. Plug in the Air Fryer. The power indicator light will illuminate when the Air Fryer is plugged in. The heating indicator light will NOT illuminate until the timer dial is turned past zero.

   Note: The Air Fryer will not operate if the basket is not fully pushed into place.

5. Set desired cooking temperature and time. Adjust the temperature: Turn the temperature dial to the desired temperature between 90°C and 200°C. Adjust the time: Turn the timer dial to the desired time. Once a time is selected, the Air Fryer will begin to tick, indicating the time is counting down.

   Note: Maximum cooking time is 60 minutes.

6. Start cooking. After setting the temperature and time, the power indicator light and the heating indicator light will illuminate, and the Air Fryer will begin cooking.

   To check food while the Air Fryer is cooking:

   A) Use the basket handle to pull out the basket. Note: The power indicator light and the heating indicator light will turn off once the basket is pulled out, but the timer will continue to count down.

   B) Use the basket handle to shake and redistribute the food inside the basket (or use tongs to flip food) if necessary, then push the basket back into the unit. The unit will automatically resume cooking when the basket is replaced.

7. Enjoy your air-fried food. Once the timer completely counts down, the Air Fryer will ding once and turn off. Use the basket handle to pull out the basket. Remove the basket carefully by pulling it out straight to prevent oil spillage. Use protective gloves and/or tongs to carefully transfer the hot food to a serving plate.

   Caution: The basket, tray, and contents will be HOT after cooking.

   Place the hot basket on a wire rack or trivet to cool.

8. Unplug the Air Fryer and let cool completely before cleaning.
9. Clean the basket and tray after every use.

Cooking Tips

• Almost any food that is traditionally cooked in the oven can be air fried.
• Foods cook best and most evenly when they are of similar size and thickness.
• Smaller pieces of food require less cooking time than larger pieces.
• For best results in the shortest amount of time, air fry food in small batches. Avoid stacking or layering when possible.
• Most prepackaged foods do not need to be tossed in oil before air frying. Most already contain oil and other ingredients that enhance browning and crispiness.
• Frozen appetizers and hors d'oeuvres air fry very well. For best results, arrange them on the tray in a single layer.
• If layering foods, be sure to shake the basket halfway through (or flip food) to promote even cooking.
• Toss foods you are preparing from scratch, such as French fries or other vegetables, with a small amount of oil to promote browning and crispiness.
• When air frying fresh vegetables, make sure to pat them dry completely before tossing with oil and air frying to ensure maximum crispiness.
• When air frying battered food, stick to thick, pasty batters. Thin batters, such as the batters used to make tempura, will run and not set fast enough like they do in a deep fryer.
• Coating battered foods in panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs) or puffed rice, and then spraying them with oil, helps create crispy, healthier versions of your favorite fried foods.
• Air fryers are great for reheating food, including pizza. To reheat your food, set the temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

Cooking Recommendations

The temperatures and times recommended below are based off of the listed recommended amounts and weights. If using a smaller amount or weight, check food sooner than the recommended time because it will likely cook faster.

Note: This table is only a guide and does not contain exact recipes.

Note: Use extreme caution while handling hot food in fryer basket. Excess oil will drip into basket when preparing greasy foods. Empty basket after every use.

Troubleshooting Guide

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Ensure the Air Fryer is unplugged and cool before cleaning.
• Once the Air Fryer and basket are cool, remove the basket from the Air Fryer (if it is not already removed). Use the tray handle to remove tray. Use a sponge and warm, soapy water to wash the inside and outside of the basket and tray. Warning: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads.
• The basket and the tray are top-rack dishwasher safe.
• Gently wipe down exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel.
• Never immerse the Air Fryer or its plug in water or any other liquid.
• Dry all parts thoroughly before storage.
• Store the Air Fryer in a cool, dry place.
