SHORT CORD PURPOSE
Note: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an 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 product; (2) the extension
cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.
21. Wait until cooking pan and the lid
top have cooled completely before
moving or cleaning.
22. Do not use this appliance as a deep
fryer. Do not fill with oil or attempt to
deep fry. Such actions may cause fire
and injury.
23. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
cook only in the removable cooking
pan provided.
24. Do not plug in or operate with wet
hands.
25. When in use, do not place the air
fryer against a wall or other
appliances. Ensure that there is at
least one foot (12”) of free space on
all sides of the unit. Do not place
anything on top of the air fryer.
26. During use, hot steam may be
released through the ventilator. Be
sure to remain at a safe distance to
avoid getting burned. Also be
cautious of hot steam when you
remove the pan from the main body.
27. Immediately unplug if you see any
dark smoke coming out of the main
body. Wait for smoke to stop before
you remove the pan from the main
body.
28. Use the handle when opening the
glass cover. Keep your face away
from the air fryer when you are
opening the glass lid to avoid
getting burned.
29. Be sure the pan is placed in the unit
properly. Do not turn the air fryer on
without the pan inside.
30. Intended for countertop use only.
31. Some countertop and table surfaces,
such as Corian®, wood and / or
laminates, are not designed to
withstand prolonged heat generated
by certain appliances. It is
recommended by countertop
manufacturers and Maxi-Matic that
a hot pad or trivet be placed under
your appliance to prevent possible
damage to the surface.

HELPFUL TIPS
• Suggested cooking times and temperatures will vary
depending on the quantity of ingredients used. The cooking pan has a
nonstick coating, so it is not necessary to add additional oil to every dish. Keep
in mind that it is best practice to season foods after they have been cooked to
avoid scorching your dish.
• Use the table on the next page to help select the best settings for the
ingredients you’re preparing. Please not that this is only a guide; you will need
to ensure your food is properly cooked before serving.
• Save time and energy by toasting bagels, croissants, bread slices, French rolls
and more. Set the temperature to 212°F and toast until desired darkness is
achieved.
• The air fryer should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other
operating appliances. If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances,
this appliance may not operate properly.
• There is a clear plastic lm on the control panel. Please remove and discard
before using.
• When ready to cook connect the Power Cord to a grounded wall 120V AC
outlet.
• During cooking, you may see the halogen light cycle on and off and hear
clicking from the Air Fryer. This is a normal function of temperature control.
• Cooking will pause when you open the lid to stir, then resume when you close
the lid.
-Turn on the power switch on the back of the Air Fryer. Press Time and + or –
buttons for desired cook time. Press TEMP and + or – buttons to set desired
cooking temperature.
Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking.
-The default setting operates both the top halogen-heating element with
fan and the bottom-heating element. If desired, press the BOTTOM HEATER
BUTTON to operate ONLY the bottom-heating element, the indicator light
will be illuminated. (See image below).

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
The air fryer does not work. The appliance is not
plugged in.
Plug the power cord (12) into an electrical
outlet.
You did not ip the POWER Switch (11) on
the back of the unit.
Make sure the Glass Lid (5) is completely
closed in order to activate the Safety Switch
(9) and begin operation.
The appliance is defective. Contact customer service at
www.maxi-matic.com
Food is not completely
cooked/fried.
There is too much food in
the Cooking Pan (7).
Use smaller batches of food in the Cooking
Pan (7) to cook more evenly.
The cooking temperature
is set too low.
Increase the temperature setting. Check
“Cooking Time Chart” found in this manual.
The cooking time is too
short.
Increase the time setting. Check “Cooking
Time Chart” found in this manual.
Food is raw and frozen
solid.
Raw frozen foods should be thawed before
cooking in the air fryer. Exceptions to this
are pre-cooked frozen foods.
Food is unevenly cooked.
Certain foods need to be
stirred mid-way through
the cooking process.
Foods that overlap inside the Cooking Pan
(7) need to be stirred mid-way through
cooking.
Fried snacks are not crispy.
You used a type of snack
meant to be prepared in a
traditional deep fryer.
Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil
onto the snacks for a crispier result.
I cannot close the Glass
Lid (5).
The Cooking Pan (7) is
too full. Do not overll the Cooking Pan (7).
White smoke is emitting
out of the appliance during
use.
You are preparing food
with a high oil content.
When cooking with oily foods, oil will drain
into the Cooking Pan (7). When the air fryer
heats up, the pan heats up the oil and
produces white smoke. This does not
adversely affect the air fryer or your cooking
process.
The pan has built-up
oil residue from previous
uses.
White smoke is caused by oil leftover in the
Cooking Pan (7). Make sure to thoroughly
clean the Cooking Pan (7) after every use.
Home-made French fries
are coming out unevenly
cooked.
Your potatoes are not fresh
or are frozen.
Make sure to use fresh and rm potatoes,
not frozen potatoes, for home-made French
fries.
Potato strips were not well
rinsed prior to frying.
Thoroughly rinse sliced potato to remove all
starch prior to frying.
Home-made French fries
are not crispy after air
frying.
Crispy results are directly
linked to the amount of oil
used and water content of
the fresh potato strips.
Potato strips need to be thoroughly dried
before adding oil.
Slice potato strips thinner if you want them
crispier.
Use a bit more oil on the potato strips prior
to frying if you want crispier results.
