OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
For best results, follow these steps before using your air fryer for the rst time.
1. Remove all packaging materials. Check to ensure that all parts and accessories are
accounted for.
2. Read and remove any stickers on the unit except for the rating label on the bottom, which
should remain on the unit.
3. Wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth. Wash the basket and basket rack
with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
HOW TO COOK IN THE EASY-VIEW AIR FRYER
The air fryer’s high-speed fan cooks your favorite foods quickly. The rack in the basket 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 ll 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.
1. Prepare the food(s) you plan to air fry.
2. Put the air fryer on a hard, at surface with at least 6 inches of clearance on top and back
for proper air ow. CAUTION: Never put the unit on a stovetop, even if the stove is off.
3. Plug the unit in. The control panel will illuminate, and the default temperature and time will
alternate on the display.
4. Lower the rack into the basket with the arrows pointing to the front (the handle side) and
back of the basket. Press down on the rack to ensure it is secure and level. There should
be a small amount of space between the rack and the bottom of the basket. (For easiest
handling of the basket rack, pinch the center grip bar with your thumb and index nger.)
Put the food on the rack. To allow for good air circulation, do not ll the basket
past the MAX line. CAUTION: Never use aerosol spray on the air fryer's nonstick parts

9
as it can cause the coating to chip. You can spray the nonstick coating with oil from
a mister.
5. Slide the basket into the air fryer.
6. Set the time and temperature as desired or use the cooking preset functions.
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 using the cooking presets, 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).
7. Press START. The fan will come on, and circular dashes on the display will animate. NOTE:
During cooking, you can remove the basket to check on, turn, or shake foods. When
you return the basket to the unit, the timer and heating will resume where they left off.
CAUTION: Do not look directly into the heating element light for long periods of time.
8. 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. 7 for more details
on timing.) The light will turn off immediately when the basket is removed and will go off
automatically after about 15 seconds if the basket is not pulled out. (If your food does not
need to be shaken, ipped, or turned, simply ignore the warning.)
9. When the timer is done, the air fryer will turn off automatically. Remove the basket
from the air fryer. Check food for doneness, then carefully transfer food to plates or
a platter and serve. NOTE: On rst use, the unit may emit a slight odor, which is normal
and will dissipate with use.

AIR FRYING CHART

Preheat the air fryer for 5minutes before cooking. While not necessary, a preheated
unit will cook foods faster and promote crisp results. If the unit is cold, add a few
minutes to your expected cooking time. CAUTION: Be careful when adding food after
preheating as the inside of the fryer will be hot.
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 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 basket. Too much food, especially if tightly packed, can inhibit
browning and crisping. A better bet: Fry food in batches.
Shake the basket during cooking for even cooking. A good shake 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 on foods early. Check foods on the earlier side of the 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.
AIR FRYER COOKING TIPS

13
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, such as sausages, in the air fryer, and be sure the basket, the rack, 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 basket 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 ½teaspoon per batch for most recipes) helps guarantee crisp results. Preheating
the air 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The nonstick coating on the basket and rack makes the air fryer easy to clean
following the steps below.
1. Unplug the unit, and let it cool completely before cleaning. (For faster
cooling, take the hot basket out of the unit.)
2. To remove the cooled rack from the basket, pinch the center grip bar at the
bottom of the basket, then pull the rack straight up and out of the basket.
WARNING: Do not lift the rack out of the basket when hot, or injury can
occur.
3. Wash the basket and rack with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry well with a
towel for best results. The basket and rack are also top-rack dishwasher-safe.
Do not use window cleaner on the window.
4. Wipe down the outside and the inside of the unit with a damp cloth as
needed. Do not put the unit in the dishwasher or submerge in water or any
other liquid.
5. Do not use abrasive cleansers, or you could damage the nishes.
