WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug is intended to t into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not
attempt to modify the plug in any way or force it into the outlet. This could result in injury
or electric shock.
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.
POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it rmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the power cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks.
If any are found, please contact Chefman®Support for assistance.
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 APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS
ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY
OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
Do not place the appliance
on a stovetop or any other
heatable surface, even if

BEFORE FIRST USE
For best results, follow these steps before using your Air Fryer for the rst time.
1. Remove all packaging materials, such as plastic bags and foam inserts. Check to ensure
that all parts and accessories are accounted for.
2. Read and remove any stickers on unit except for rating label on bottom, which should
remain on unit.
3. Wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth. Wash the basket, basket rack, and
divider with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
HOW TO COOK IN THE TURBOFRY®TOUCH 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 in the Air Fryer.
1. Prepare the food(s) you plan to air fry.
2. Place the Air Fryer on a hard, at surface with at least 6 inches of clearance on top and in
back for proper air ow, then plug unit in. The control panel will illuminate, and the default
temperature and time will alternate on the display.
3. 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 bottom of the basket. (For easiest handling
of the basket rack, pinch the center grip bar with your thumb and index nger.)
CAUTION: Never use aerosol cooking spray on the Air Fryer's nonstick parts as it can
cause the coating to chip.
PRESET FUNCTION CHART
These presets represent an average time and temp. To set air fryer manually with more
precise cooking times, see the chart beginning on p. 10.

4. If using the divider, slide it into the basket front to back over the rack. You can divide
the basket evenly using the grooves in its center as a guide or portion it as you like.
The rubber stoppers will keep the divider in place. Press down on divider and ensure
it's level for a secure t. To remove the divider, hold the basket down with one hand,
then grab the divider with the other. Twist it to tilt to one side as shown on p. 14, then
pull it out.
5. Put the food on the rack. To allow for good air circulation, do not ll the basket past
the MAX line. Slide the basket into the Air Fryer.
6. Set the time and temperature as desired or use pre-set cooking parameters.
To set temperature, press the TIME/TEMP button until temperature displays, and then
press plus or minus sign. To set time, press the TIME/TEMP button until time displays
and then press plus or minus sign.
If cooking with pre-set cooking parameters: Choose the icon that best represents the
food you’re cooking and press the icon (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 it left off.
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, p. 7 for more details on
timing.) The Shake light will turn off immediately when the basket is removed and will go
off automatically after about 15 seconds if 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, unit may emit a slight odor, which is normal and
will dissipate with use.
AIR FRYING CHARTOPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Use this handy chart to help you cook up some of your favorite foods. Note that the times
reect a 5-minute preheat. If not preheating, please add a few minutes to the cook time. The

Preheat the Air Fryer for 5 minutes before cooking. While not necessary, preheating
the unit will cook foods faster and promote crisp results. If unit is cold, add a few
minutes to your expected cooking time. CAUTION: Be careful when adding food after
preheating as inside of 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.
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 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 cooking time; you can always
slide the basket back in to continue cooking. If using the divider, you may need to
remove quicker cooking foods before longer cooking foods are done.
Follow food safety guidelines for doneness. Because Air Fryer temperatures and
food sizes can vary, do not rely soley on recipe timing when cooking food. Check
foods for doneness against current safety guidelines before serving.
AIR FRYER COOKING TIPS
NOTE: The times and temperatures offered in these charts are suggestions and may vary.
Please follow current food safety guidelines when determining doneness.

AIR FRYING CHART

13 14
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, 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 fry 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 ½teaspoon 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING/FAQS CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The nonstick coating on the basket, rack, and divider makes the Air Fryer easy
to clean following the steps below.
1. Unplug unit and let cool completely before cleaning. (For faster cooling, take
hot basket out of the unit.)
2. Remove cooled divider from basket, if necessary. To remove the cooled
divider, hold the basket down with one hand, then grab the divider with the
other. Twist the divider to tilt it to one side as shown below, then pull it out.
To remove the cooled rack from basket, pinch the center grip bar at the
bottom of the basket, and pull rack straight up and out of basket.
WARNING: Do not lift the rack out of basket when hot or injury can occur.
3. Wash the basket, rack, and divider with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry
well with a towel for best results. Basket, rack, and divider are also top-rack
dishwasher-safe.
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.
