SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in electric shock.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
To protect against electrical shock, this appliance is equipped with a cord having a
3-prong grounding-type plug for insertion into a proper grounding-type electrical
outlet.
DO NOT alter the plug for use in a 2-prong outlet. If the plug will not fit into an outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
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 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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.
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.

FEATURES
COOK FUNCTION GUIDE
Function Description Temp Range (˚F/˚C) Time Range Notes
Air Fry
Uses fast-moving hot
air to cook food to
crisp perfection. It’s
fantastic for cooking
many frozen prepared
foods like french fries,
as well as vegetables,
chicken wings, and
more.
200–450˚F/90–235˚C 1 min – 1 hr
Use the air-fry basket for
crispiest results (place basket
on broil/bake pan to insert
into oven). 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.
The FLIP notification comes
on halfway through the cycle.
Bake
A general cooking
method that works
just like your regular
oven. Use it to make
small-batch cookies,
brownies, or a cake.
200–450˚F/90–235˚C 1 min – 4 hrs
Most baking benefits from a
5-minute preheat to adjust
for preheating required
in traditional ovens. If not
preheating, baked goods
may require an additional 5
minutes of bake time.
Air Bake
Like convection
cooking, it circulates
air with a fan to cook
foods faster, hotter,
and more evenly. It’s
great for pizza.
200–450˚F/90–235˚C 1 min – 4 hrs
Using foil with the Air Bake
function can disrupt heat
distribution and significantly
aect the cook temperature
and time. The FLIP
notification comes on halfway
through the cycle.
Air Roast
Uses a medium fan
speed and high heat,
making it a great
choice for evenly
cooking larger cuts
of meat or a whole
chicken.
350–450˚F/175–235˚C 1 min – 4 hrs
Place the broil/bake pan in
the bottom rack position as a
drip tray. The FLIP notification
comes on halfway through
the cycle.
Air Broil
Broiling is like upside-
down grilling, with
intense heat emanating
from the top of the
oven. It’s perfect for
steaks, burgers, and
crisping the tops of
casseroles.
Low 400˚F/205˚C,
High 450˚F/235˚C 1 min – 20 mins
Broil food in top or middle
rack position, making sure the
food does not directly touch
the heating elements. You will
only have two temperature
choices: Low (400˚F/205˚C)
and High (450˚F/235˚C). The
FLIP notification comes on
halfway through the cycle.

FEATURES
COOK FUNCTION GUIDE
Function Description Temp Range (˚F/˚C) Time Range Notes
Reheat
Heats the oven at a
lower temperature.
Ideal for reheating
leftovers without
drying them out. 250–350˚F/121–175˚C 1 min – 2 hrs
If warming leftover cooked
meat using the Reheat
function, fill the broil/bake
pan with 1 cup of water
and place below the food
being warmed to keep it
from drying out. The FLIP
notification comes on halfway
through the cycle.
Toast
Toasts multiple slices
of bread to just the
right shade. Fixed at 450˚F/235˚C Shades 1–5
Center bread in the middle
of the rack for best results. If
bread is frozen, thaw before
toasting or toast for an
additional 1 minute or so.
Bagel
Use to toast bagels—
which often are a
struggle to fit into
conventional slot
toasters—to crisp-
chewy perfection.
Fixed at 450˚F/235˚C Shades 1–5
Center the bagel cut side up
in the middle of the rack for
best results. If the bagel is
frozen, thaw before toasting
or cook for an additional 1–2
minutes.
Dehydrate
A great method for
creating tasty, long-
lasting snacks from
fruits and vegetables,
drying herbs, and
creating lightweight,
packable meals for
backpacking.
95–165˚F/35–75˚C 30 min – 72 hrs
Rotate rack position
occasionally for most even
drying. The FLIP notification
comes on halfway through
the cycle.

• If not cooking on the broil/bake pan, insert it in the bottom rack position as a drip
tray for easy cleanup.
• When working with delicate foods that can easily crumble, take the rack out of the
oven, and assemble your food directly on the rack.
• If using a pizza stone, heat the stone in the unit for at least 20 minutes before
baking your pizza. Place the stone in the unit and set it to the highest temperature.
You can incorporate both preheating and cooking all in one cycle by setting the
timer for 30 to 40 minutes.
COOKING TIPS

16
Why didn’t my oven beep to alert me my food was finished cooking?
Make sure the unit is not muted (the Sound button should say “ON”).
Why isn’t my food golden brown and crisp?
Try tossing food in a little oil before cooking to enhance brownness. Also, be sure to
distribute foods evenly on the pan or rack, or in the basket; do not stack or crowd the
food.
Can I air fry foods that have a wet batter like tempura?
No. Foods dredged with a wet batter like tempura or beer batter should not be
cooked in the unit as the batter will drip o the food. However, breaded foods like
chicken nuggets cook up beautifully.
Do you have to preheat the oven?
You do not have to, but you can if you’d like. When baking you may need to adjust
cook times for 5 or so minutes longer if you do not preheat in order to adjust for the
preheating required in traditional ovens. It’s also helpful to preheat a baking stone if
using one for pizza.
TROUBLESHOOTING / FAQs
ERROR CODES
If your unit displays ERR3 on the display panel, it means the door was not closed
properly. Please try shutting the door again. If ERR1 or ERR2 displays, it means there
is a malfunction that can't be fixed. Should this occur, please contact Chefman®
Customer Support.

17
The oven is easy to clean and should be cleaned frequently. Follow the directions below.
1. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Gently wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
3. Using a sponge, soft cloth, or nylon pad, wash the glass on the door with dish soap
and warm water. Do not use a spray glass cleaner.
4. Using mild liquid soap and a damp cloth or sponge, wipe the interior walls.
Do not use abrasive cleaners like steel wool pads, as they may damage the finish.
Be sure to clean the top interior of the unit. Removing grease on a regular basis
will prevent smoke caused by a buildup of oils and will keep cooking consistent.
5. Slide out the crumb tray and toss out crumbs. Wipe clean. Remove any baked-on
grease by soaking the tray in hot, sudsy water. Use non-abrasive cleaners like a
sponge, cloth, or brush. The crumb tray is not dishwasher safe.
6. Handwash the broil/bake pan, wire rack, basket, and dehydrating racks and dry
thoroughly. The racks and basket are top-rack dishwasher safe. The broil/bake pan
is not dishwasher safe.
7. Fully dry the unit and all accessories before storing.
