Safety Instructions & Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed:

1. Read all instructions.
2. Do NOT touch hot surfaces. Use handle or knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or unit body in water or other liquids.
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, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Chefman Customer Support for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Chefman 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. To disconnect, turn any control to off, then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do NOT use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
14. Place the unit on a flat, sturdy, heat-resistant surface. Do NOT place the unit near or on any type of heat source, such as a gas or electric burner, stove, or oven, even if not on. Do NOT use near an open flame or flammable materials.
15. The unit will emit some heat. Allow sufficient space around the unit when in use, and do NOT place near other items or appliances.
16. Check that your home power supply corresponds with the intended voltage of the air fryer.
17. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance during use or storage; this may cause the wire to fray and break.
18. This product is not a deep fryer. It is NOT meant to be filled with oil. Never fill any parts of the air fryer with oil. If you choose to use oil, toss food with oil in a separate bowl and then transfer food to the basket.
19. Do NOT leave uncooked ingredients in the air fryer for more than a short period of time before cooking; raw meat, poultry, fish, fruits, and vegetables can spoil.
20. Do NOT move the air fryer while it is full of food.
21. Do NOT move the unit during use. During initial use, you may notice some smoke and/or a slight odor. This is normal and should quickly dissipate. It should not happen after the appliance has been used a few more times.
22. Do NOT leave the air fryer unattended during use.
23. Some areas do get HOT during use, and the touch screen may get warm. Do NOT touch the heating elements. Do NOT place hands or other body parts near the air vents while the air fryer is in use; burns may result. Take caution when handling the air fryer's basket.
24. Use protective mitts and/or tongs to remove hot food from the air fryer.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way or force it into the outlet. This could result in injury or electric shock.

Short Cord Instructions: A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of 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 extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The longer 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.

California Proposition 65: (Applicable for California Residents only) WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Do not place the appliance on a stovetop or any other heatable surface, even if stovetop is not on. Doing so is a fire hazard. [fire-hazard-symbol]

Power Cord Safety Tips:

1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the outlet.
3. To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
4. Never use the product if the power cord shows signs of abrasion or excessive wear. Contact Chefman Customer Support for additional guidance and support.
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 THE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

3. Wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth.
4. Wash the basket with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.

Quick Start: How to Cook in the Air Fryer

The air fryer's high-speed fan cooks your favorite foods quickly for perfect results each time. The ribbed basket floor allows air to circulate around foods for even cooking and crisping, and lets excess fat drip down and away from foods for healthier eating.

CAUTION:

Never fill the basket with oil. Unlike deep fryers, air fryers require little to no oil to produce a crisp texture. If you choose to use oil, toss foods with just a little in a separate bowl before cooking in the air fryer.

1. Place the unit on a hard, flat surface with at least 6 inches of clearance on top and in the back for proper air flow; then plug in the air fryer.
2. Place the food in the basket and slide the basket into the air fryer. To allow for good air circulation, do not fill the basket past the MAX line. CAUTION: Never use aerosol cooking spray in the basket, as it can cause the coating to degrade and chip.
3. Press the power button to turn the air fryer on, then set the time and temperature as desired. To set the temperature, press the TIME | TEMP button until the temperature displays, then press the plus or minus sign. To set the time, press the TIME | TEMP button until the time displays, then press the plus or minus sign. Press START | STOP to begin cooking.
4. During cooking, the Shake light on the control panel will turn on as a reminder to shake (or flip) food. Remove the basket and shake food, then return the basket to the unit to continue cooking. If your food does not need to be shaken, flipped, or turned, simply ignore the warning and it will turn off after 60 seconds. NOTE: You can remove the basket at any time during cooking to check on foods. When you return the basket to the unit, cooking will resume where it left off.
5. When the timer is done, the air fryer will beep and cooking will stop. Remove the basket, check food for doneness, and serve.

Tips and Cooking Chart

For a crisp exterior, oil foods lightly. Some foods, especially if fresh, benefit from being tossed with a little oil in a separate bowl before air frying. However, high-fat foods, like a well-marbled steak, or prepared foods usually require no additional oil.

Avoid wet batters. Loose batters, such as tempura or beer batter, should not be used in the air fryer, as the batter does not set quickly and will drip off the food. Instead, stick to thick, pasty batters or breaded foods like chicken nuggets.

Don't overcrowd the basket. Too much food, especially if tightly packed, can inhibit browning and crisping. A better bet is to fry food in batches.

Shake the basket mid-cycle for even cooking. A good shake is especially beneficial for smaller foods like french fries, onion rings, and chicken wings. For larger or more fragile foods, consider gently tossing or flipping for even results.

Check on foods early. Check foods on the earlier side of the cooking time to avoid overcooking. You can always slide the basket back in to continue cooking.

Follow food-safety guidelines for doneness. Because air fryer temperatures and food sizes can vary, do not rely exclusively on recipe timing when cooking food. Check foods for doneness against current safety guidelines before serving.

Keep It Clean

With its nonstick coating and dishwasher-safe basket, the air fryer is super easy to clean.

1. Unplug the air fryer and let it cool completely before cleaning.
2. Wash the basket with warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry well. The basket is also top-rack dishwasher safe.
3. Wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth. Do NOT put the unit in the dishwasher or submerge in water or any other liquid. Do NOT use abrasive cleansers, or you could damage the finishes.
4. Dry the unit and basket completely before storing.
