OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO USE THE AIR FRYER
1. Place the air fryer on a flat surface away from all sources of heat and water and plug it in.
2. If not using the drip tray for baking, position it on the floor of the unit for easy cleaning.
3. Place seasoned food on rack(s), baking pan, or spit (see p. 15 for directions).
4. Position the rack(s), pan, or spit in the oven, and close the door.
5. Select the cooking function of choice (BAKE, AIR FRY, or DEHYDRATE) by pressing the
function button. The cooking function will turn blue and food icons will appear below on
the control panel. NOTE: When the unit is first turned on, it defaults to the Air Fry function.
6. If using cooking presets, choose the icon that best matches the food you want to cook and
press that button; the button will turn blue and the programmed temperature and time will
alternate in the control panel. (If desired, you can adjust the preset time and temperature
by pressing the TEMP/TIME button, then adjusting the time or temp using the plus and
minus buttons.) NOTE: The time and temperature settings are recommendations; check
foods for doneness according to proper food guidelines before consuming. If not using
presets, adjust the time and temperature as desired.
NOTE: Temperature for Bake and Air Fry ranges from 200°F to 400°F. Time ranges from
1 minute to 2 hours for Bake and from 1 minute to 1 hour for Air Fry. For Dehydrate, the
time range is 30 minutes to 24 hours, and the temperature range is 95°F to 200°F.
7. Press the START button. The button will turn red, the fan will turn on, and cooking will
begin. NOTE: During cooking you can check on foods by pressing the LIGHT button on
the control panel and viewing through the door window. You can also open the oven door
to check; the interior light will come on and the air fryer will pause all functions. The unit
will save the time and temperature settings so that when door is closed again, cooking
will resume from the saved point. You can also press STOP/CANCEL at any time to
stop cooking.

14
8. If cooking with the spit (see p. 15), press the ROTATE button. NOTE: Rotating will not occur
automatically when using this accessory. The ROTATE button will turn blue when initiated
and may be turned o or on at any time during cooking with the Air Fry or Bake functions.
9. Cook until the timer ends. At that point, the unit will beep and automatically turn o. Check
food for doneness according to proper food safety guidelines and cook for more time if
necessary.
10. Carefully remove the food. Use potholders or oven mitts when removing hot pans, racks,
or trays. If using the spit, use the fetch tool in one hand and a potholder or oven mitt in the
other to remove the hot spit (see p. 16 for more detailed directions).
11. Transfer hot pans, racks, or trays to a heat-resistant surface.
12. Use tongs to handle hot foods, then serve and enjoy! CAUTION: This unit cooks with hot
air only; never heat a cooking vessel filled with oil or any other liquid with this unit as a fire
hazard or personal injury could result.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO USE THE ROTISSERIE SPIT (MAX: 4 LB)
The spit is perfect for roasting a whole chicken to even, crisp perfection and for slowly cooking
whole boneless pieces of meat, such as beef or pork tenderloins. You can also experiment with
roasting a small cauliflower head or a peeled pineapple.
1. Ensure the drip tray is in the bottom of the unit.
2. If using the spit to cook a whole chicken, be sure giblets are removed. Season the chicken
as desired and truss tightly. (For best results, be sure the chicken will fit in the oven with
room to rotate; a 3 to 3½ lb chicken works well.) Run the spit through the bird lengthwise,
starting at the cavity in the back. Carefully slide the spit forks onto the shaft on both ends,
sinking them deep into the breast meat at one end and the thigh meat at the other end.
Lock the forks in place with the screws, leaving at least 1 inch of free space on both ends
of the rod. The chicken should be secure and should not be able to slide around on the spit.
If using the spit to cook a piece of meat, carefully push the spit lengthwise through the
center of the meat. Carefully slide the spit forks onto the shaft on both ends, inserting the
prongs deeply into the meat. Lock the forks in place with the screws, leaving at least 1 inch
of free space on both ends of the rod. The meat should be secure and should not be able
to slide around on the spit. CAUTION: Spit forks are sharp; handle with care.
3. Guide the spit into the rotisserie position by placing the left shaft into the rotisserie gear
located on the left interior wall. Once in place, lift and lay the right shaft on the rotisserie
holder located on the right interior wall. Be sure that the meat or chicken can rotate freely
in the air fryer. Close the door and proceed with cooking, following the directions on p. 13,
beginning with Step 5 and choosing the Bake or Air Fry function. CAUTION: The spit gets
hot during cooking. Use the fetch tool and oven mitts and handle with care to avoid injury.

16
HOW TO USE THE FETCH TOOL
The fetch tool is handy for removing the hot spit from the air fryer.
1. Hold the fetch tool by its handle with one hand. Have a potholder or oven mitt in or on the
other hand.
2. Guide the fetch tool into the unit, positioning the prongs below the shafts of the rotisserie
spit.
3. Use the tool to lift the right side of the rotisserie spit. Once it is free, lift the left side.
4. Carefully guide the hot rotisserie spit and food from the air fryer.
5. Transfer it to a heat-resistant surface.
CAUTION: The spit gets hot during cooking; use care when removing to avoid injury.

AIR FRYER COOKING TIPS
• Most prepared 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.)
• Toss foods you are preparing from scratch, such as french fries, with a little oil in a
separate bowl to improve browning and crispiness.
• When making french fries using fresh potatoes, ensure they are completely dry before
cooking in the air fryer. Even the smallest droplets of moisture will prevent them from
getting crispy.
• 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 quickly enough as they would do in
a deep fryer.
• If using multiple wire racks, carefully switch rack positions halfway through the
cooking cycle to ensure the most even results. For dehydrating, switch rack positions
from top to bottom periodically during dehydrating time.
• The air fryer is great for reheating food. To reheat your food, set the temperature to
300°F for up to 10 minutes.
• Follow food safety guidelines for doneness. Because food sizes can vary, do not rely
on recipe timing only when cooking food. Check foods for doneness against current
safety guidelines before serving.

TROUBLESHOOTING FAQS
Why is there white smoke coming from my unit?
White smoke can be a sign that there’s too much fat in the air fryer. Avoid cooking very fatty
foods, such as sausages, in the air fryer, and be sure the unit and accessories are clean before
cooking.
CAUTION: Black smoke indicates a more serious problem. In the rare event that you see black
smoke coming from the unit, immediately unplug the air fryer, contact Chefman®Customer
Support, and do not use the air fryer until the issue is resolved.
Why has my food cooked unevenly?
Two culprits are likely: overcrowding and not switching rack positions. Evenly distribute foods
on the rack(s) and pan. Flipping foods midway through cooking also helps. If using multiple
racks, try switching rack positions at least once during cooking.
Why isn’t my food crisp?
Though you can air fry with no added oil, coating foods very lightly with oil (usually just ½
teaspoon per batch for most recipes) helps guarantee crisp results.
Why is the unit displaying an error code?
If your air fryer displays E1 or E2 on its control panel, it means there is a problem with the unit,
such as a short circuit, and it will not function. Should this occur, please contact Chefman®
Customer Support for a replacement.

1. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Gently wipe down the exterior and interior with a damp cloth or paper towel. Never
immerse the air fryer or its plug in water or any other liquid. The housing of the
air fryer is NOT dishwasher safe.
3. Using a sponge, soft cloth, or nylon pad, wash the glass on the door with dish soap and
warm water, and dry thoroughly. Do not use a spray glass cleaner. The door can also be
removed for easier cleaning. To remove, open the door slightly and gently lift it upwards
until it releases from the notches in the hinges. To replace, hold the door upright, line up the
hinges, and gently push it down until it locks into place.
4. Wash accessories with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Racks may be washed with a
bristled brush. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads. Accessories are also
top-rack dishwasher safe.
5. Dry the unit and accessories thoroughly and store in a cool, dry place.
