Safety Instructions & Important Safeguards

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

General Precautions

• Read all instructions before use.
• Do not touch hot surfaces; use handles or knobs.
• Do not immerse the cord, plugs, or unit body in water or other liquids to prevent electric shock.
• Close supervision is necessary when used by or near children.
• Unplug when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before handling parts or cleaning.
• Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after malfunction. Contact Chefman Customer Support for service.
• Use of unauthorized accessory attachments may cause injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the cord hang over edges or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near hot gas/electric burners or in heated ovens.
• Exercise extreme caution when moving the appliance containing hot oil or liquids.
• To disconnect, turn controls off, then remove plug from outlet.
• Use only for its intended purpose.
• Place on a flat, sturdy, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance. Do not place near heat sources, open flames, or flammable materials.
• Allow sufficient space around the unit for heat dissipation.
• Ensure home power supply matches the appliance's voltage.
• Never wrap the cord tightly; this can cause fraying and breakage.
• This product is not a deep fryer and should not be filled with oil. Toss food with oil separately before adding to the basket.
• Do not leave uncooked ingredients in the air fryer for extended periods.
• Do not move the air fryer while full of food.
• Initial use may produce smoke/odor; this is normal and should dissipate.
• Do not leave the air fryer unattended during use.
• Some surfaces get hot; do not touch heating elements or place body parts near air vents. Use caution when handling hot parts.
• Use protective mitts or tongs to remove hot food.

Polarized Plug Warning

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify or force the plug.

Short Cord Instructions

A short power-supply cord reduces entanglement hazards. Longer cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised. Ensure the extension cord's electrical rating is at least as great as the appliance's. Arrange longer cords to prevent tripping.

California Proposition 65 Warning

WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm. Visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Stovetop Warning

Do not place the appliance on a stovetop or any other heatable surface, even if off, as this is a fire hazard. [?]

Power Cord Safety Tips

• Never pull or yank the cord or appliance.
• Grasp plug firmly when inserting or removing.
• Do not use if the power cord shows abrasion or excessive wear. Contact Chefman Customer Support for guidance.
• Never wrap the cord tightly to avoid stress and breakage.

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

How to Use the Air Fryer

Before First Use

• Remove all packaging materials. Check that all parts and accessories are accounted for.
• Remove all stickers except the rating label.
• Wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth.
• Wash the basket and rack with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. The basket and rack are top-rack dishwasher safe. Do not use glass cleaner on the basket window.

Quick Start: How to Cook in the Air Fryer

The air fryer uses a high-speed fan for quick cooking and even results. The basket rack allows air circulation and fat drainage for healthier eating. Use little to no oil for a crisp texture. Toss food with oil separately before cooking.

Step 1: Placement and Power

Place the air fryer on a flat, sturdy, heat-resistant surface with at least 6 inches of clearance on top and in back for proper airflow. Plug in the air fryer.

Step 2: Prepare the Basket

Lower the rack into the basket, ensuring feet point down and there is slight space between the rack and basket bottom. Press down to secure. CAUTION: Never use aerosol cooking spray on nonstick parts as it can chip the coating.

Step 3: Add Food

Place food on the rack and slide the basket into the air fryer. Do not fill the basket past the MAX line to ensure good air circulation.

Step 4: Select Settings and Start

Choose a cooking function (see Cooking Functions section). Set the temperature using the TEMP adjustment buttons and the time using the TIME adjustment buttons. Press START to begin cooking.

Step 5: During Cooking

The SHAKE indicator light and beep may activate halfway through cooking. Remove the basket, shake or flip food, and return it to continue cooking. If shaking is not needed, ignore the indicator; it will turn off automatically. You can press the Light button or remove the basket at any time to check food. Cooking resumes upon returning the basket.

Step 6: Finish Cooking

When the timer is done, the air fryer will beep, cooking will stop, and the READY light will display. Remove the basket, check food for doneness, and serve.

Cooking Functions at a Glance

Vary fan speed, time, and temperature for versatile cooking. Times and temperatures are averages; always check food for doneness.

Cooking Tips

Preheating

Preheat for 5 minutes for faster cooking and crispier results. Add extra time if the unit is cold. CAUTION: The interior will be hot after preheating.

Oiling Food

For a crisp exterior, lightly oil foods, especially fresh items. High-fat or prepared foods may not require additional oil.

Batters

Avoid wet batters (e.g., tempura, beer batter) as they may drip off. Use thick, pasty batters or breaded foods instead.

Basket Capacity

Do not overcrowd the basket; this inhibits browning and crisping. Fry food in batches for best results.

Shaking/Flipping

Shake or flip food during cooking for even results, especially for smaller or frozen items. For larger or fragile foods, gentle tossing is recommended.

Checking Food

Check food early to avoid overcooking. The basket can be returned to continue cooking.

Food Safety

Do not rely solely on recipe timing. Check foods for doneness against current safety guidelines due to variations in temperature and food size.

Keep It Clean

The air fryer is easy to clean with its nonstick coating and dishwasher-safe parts.

• Unplug and let the unit cool completely before cleaning.
• To remove the rack, pull straight up using the center holes for easier handling. CAUTION: Do NOT lift the rack out when hot.
• Wash the basket and rack with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. They are top-rack dishwasher safe. Do NOT use glass cleaner on the basket window.
• Wipe the interior and exterior with a damp cloth. Do NOT put the unit in the dishwasher, submerge in liquid, or use abrasive cleansers.
• Dry the unit and all accessories completely before storing.
