- Page 13 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FIRST USE For best results, follow these steps before using your air fryer for the first 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.
- Page 14 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS PREPARE TO COOK CAUTION: Never use aerosol spray on the air fryer's nonstick parts as it can cause the coating to chip. You can spray the nonstick coating with oil from a mister. 4. Prepare the food(s) you plan to air fry. If cooking in probe mode, insert the thermometer probe horizontally into the thickest part of your food (see drawings below).

- Page 18 SPECIAL FUNCTIONS HI-FRY The HI-FRY button illuminates partway through a cooking cycle. When pressed, it will temporarily raise the temperature to 450˚F (235˚C) for 2 minutes, to give foods a little additional browning. It can be pressed during a cooking cycle or after it ends (after Rest Phase for Probe Cooking).

- Page 22 AIR FRYING TIPS For a crisp exterior, oil foods lightly. Some foods, especially if fresh, benefit 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.
- Page 23 TROUBLESHOOTING In probe mode, why does the unit sometimes stop cooking before it reaches my target temperature? Most foods experience “carryover cooking” after being pulled from the heat source, where the temperature continues to rise a few more degrees. On items like steaks, just a few degrees can mean the difference between under- and overcooking.
- Page 24 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. NOTE: On first use, the unit may emit a slight odor, which is normal...
- Page 25 CLEANING & MAINTENANCE The nonstick coating on the basket and rack makes the air fryer easy to clean following the steps below. Unplug the unit, unplug the thermometer from its jack (if used), and let the unit cool completely before cleaning. (For faster cooling, take the hot basket out of the unit.) 2.
