OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARE TO COOK
The air fryer’s high-speed fans cook your favorite foods quickly. The rubber feet on
the racks elevate the racks to allow air to circulate around foods for even cooking and
crisping. The racks also allow excess fat drip down and away from foods for healthier
eating.
CAUTION: Never ll the baskets 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. Prepare the food(s) you plan to air fry. (See the Air Frying Chart starting on p. 13 for
how to prepare and air fry some favorite foods.)
2. Place the air fryer on a hard, at surface and plug it in. The control panel will
illuminate in white, and the
1
button will illuminate in blue, indicating that basket 1 is
ready to have its cooking time and temperature set.
3. Lower the racks into the baskets, or just one rack if cooking in just one basket. Press

9
down on the racks to ensure they are secure and level. There should be a small amount
of space between the rack(s) and the bottom of the basket(s). (For easiest handling
of the basket rack, pinch the center grip bar with your thumb and index nger.)
CAUTION: Never spray the baskets or racks with cooking oil from an aerosol spray
can, which includes harsh components that can cause chipping of the nonstick coating.
However, you can oil the racks or spray them with oil from a non-aerosol mister.
4. Put food on the rack(s). To allow for good air circulation, do not ll the basket(s)
past the Max line.
5. Slide the basket(s) into the air fryer. (If cooking in just one basket, the other does
not need to be in place.) NOTE: On rst use, the unit may emit a slight odor, which is
normal and will dissipate with use.
HOW TO COOK IN ONE BASKET
Though the beauty of this air fryer is its double-basket capacity and sync functions, you
can easily cook in just one basket, which is the default mode. (The other basket can be
removed or left in the unit on standby.)
1. Prepare for air fryer cooking as directed starting on p. 8.
2. Set the time and temperature for basket 1: 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, and then press
the plus or minus sign. If cooking with a preset function, choose the icon that
best represents the food you’re cooking and press the icon. This will set the pre-
programmed time and temperature (see Chart on p. 7 for details).
3. Press Start.
4. During cooking, the Shake light on the control panel will turn on, and the air fryer will
beep as a reminder to shake (or ip) food, as necessary. (See Chart on p. 13 for more
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

10
details on timing.) The light will turn off immediately when the basket is removed and
will go off automatically after about 10 seconds if the basket is not pulled out. (If your
food does not need to be shaken, ipped, or turned, simply ignore the warning.)
5. When the timer is done, the air fryer will turn off automatically. Remove the basket
from the unit. Check food for doneness, then carefully transfer the food to plates or
a platter and serve.
NOTE: While the unit is cooking on one side, you can begin cooking in the other
basket at any time. (The Sync Baskets and Sync Finish functions will not be available,
however.) Simply press the other basket’s button on the display and set the time and
temperature for that side. Do NOT press Start. The running lights for that basket will
come on to show that it's cooking.
HOW TO COOK USING SYNC BASKETS
The Sync Baskets button is a shortcut for setting both baskets to cook simultaneously with
the same time and temperature.
1. Prepare to cook as directed starting on p. 8.
2. Set the time and temperature for basket 1: To set the temperature, press the Time/
Temp button until the temperature displays, and then press the plus or minus sign.
To set the time, press the Time/Temp button until the time displays, and then press
the plus or minus sign. If cooking with preset cooking parameters, choose the icon
that best represents the food you’re cooking and press the icon. This will set the
preprogrammed time and temperature. (See Chart on p. 7 for details.)
3. Press the Sync Baskets button. The air fryer will automatically apply the time and
temperature from basket 1 to basket 2.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4. Press Start.
5. If one basket’s time or temperature is adjusted during cooking, the other basket will
automatically adjust to match.
6. During cooking, the Shake lights will turn on for both baskets, and the air fryer
will beep as a reminder to shake (or ip) food, as necessary. (See Chart on p. 13
for more details on timing.) When one basket is removed, both sides will pause
cooking until the basket is returned. The Shake light will turn off immediately when
the corresponding basket is removed and will go off automatically after about
10 seconds if the basket is not pulled out. (If your food does not need to be shaken
or ipped, simply ignore the alert.)
7. When the timer is done, the air fryer will turn off automatically. Remove the baskets
from the unit. Check food on both sides for doneness, then carefully transfer food
to plates or a platter and serve.
HOW TO COOK USING SYNC FINISH
By pressing the Sync Finish button, you can program two foods with different cooking
times and/or temperatures to nish cooking at the same time. The function delays the
start of the basket with the shorter cook time so that both baskets nish their cook
cycles simultaneously.
1. Prepare to cook as directed starting on p. 8.
2. With both baskets in place, set the time and temperature for basket 1: To set the
temperature, press the Time/Temp button until the temperature displays, and then
press the plus or minus sign. To set the time, press the Time/Temp button until the
time displays, and then press the plus or minus sign. If cooking with a preset function,
choose the icon that best represents the food you’re cooking and press the icon. This
will set the preprogrammed time and temperature. (See Chart on p. 7 for details.)

12
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. Press the
2
button, then set the time and temperature (or a preset function) for
basket 2 the same way you did for basket 1.
4. Press the Sync Finish button, then press Start. The air fryer will begin cooking on
the side with the longer cooking time and will delay the start of cooking on the
other side until the appropriate time so that they nish together. On the side that
is cooking, you will see running lights (three dashes under the Time/Temp button).
Running lights will not light up on a basket until it begins cooking.
5. During cooking, the Shake light will turn on for both baskets (not necessarily
simultaneously), and the air fryer will beep as a reminder to shake (or ip) food,
as necessary. (See Chart on p. 13 for more details on timing.) When one basket is
removed, both sides will pause cooking until the basket is returned. The Shake
light will turn off immediately when the corresponding basket is removed and will
go off automatically after about 10 seconds if the basket is not pulled out. (If your
food does not need to be shaken or ipped, simply ignore the alert.)
6. If either timer is adjusted while one of the baskets is still waiting to cook and the
timer with the shorter time is not increased above the longer time, then the nish
will remain synced. If either timer is adjusted while both sides are actively cooking,
then the sync will break, and the Sync Finish LED will turn off.
7. When the timer is done, the air fryer will turn off automatically. Remove the baskets
from the unit. Check food in both baskets for doneness, then carefully transfer food
to plates or a platter and serve.

AIR FRYER COOKING TIPS
For a crisp exterior, oil foods lightly. Some foods, especially if fresh, benet from being
tossed with a little oil in a separate bowl before 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 those used for deep frying, do not work in
air fryers, as the batter simply slides off. Adapt such recipes to give foods a thicker
coating, preferably including breadcrumbs to help the coating adhere.
Use medium-high to high heat for most cooking. Most foods will air fry best between
325°F and 400°F. For gentler cooking and reheating, use a lower temperature to
avoid overcooking.
Don’t overcrowd the baskets. Too much food, especially if tightly packed, can inhibit
browning and crisping. A better bet: Fry food in batches.
Shake the baskets for even cooking. A good shake during the cooking cycle is
especially benecial for smaller items like french fries, onion rings, and chicken wings.
For larger or more fragile foods, consider gently tossing or ipping for even results.
Check foods early. Check foods on the earlier side of cooking time; 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 only on recipe timing when cooking food. Check foods for
doneness against current safety guidelines before serving.
Preheat the air fryer, if you like. While not necessary, preheating the unit can cook
foods faster and promote crisp results. CAUTION: Be careful when adding food after
preheating as the interior of the fryer will be hot.

17
Why is there white smoke coming from my unit?
White smoke can be a sign that there’s too much fat in the fryer. Avoid cooking very
fatty foods in the air fryer, and be sure the baskets, the racks, and the interior of the air
fryer are clean before cooking.
Why has my food cooked unevenly?
Two culprits are likely: overcrowding and not shaking. Fill the air fryer baskets loosely
with food to let air circulate, and shake, toss, or ip foods at least once during cooking
for more even results.
Why isn’t my food crisp?
Though you can air fry with no added oil, coating foods very lightly with oil (usually just
1/2teaspoon per batch for most recipes) helps guarantee crisp results. Preheating the
fryer also helps.
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 loose wire
contact or a short circuit, and the unit will not function. Should this occur, please contact
Chefman
®
Customer Support for a replacement.
What do I do if a rack is missing a rubber foot?
Though they should be fairly secure, the feet on the rack are removable. Should one get
lost, please contact Chefman
®
Customer Support for a replacement.
