Safety Instructions & Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.
2. Do NOT touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or unit body in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Chefman® Customer Support for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Chefman® may cause injuries.
8. Do NOT use outdoors.
9. Do NOT let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do NOT place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. To disconnect, turn any control to off, then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do NOT use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
14. Place the unit on a flat, sturdy, heat-resistant surface. Do NOT place the unit near or on any type of heat source, such as a gas or electric burner, stove, or oven, even if not on. Do NOT use near an open flame or flammable materials.
15. The unit will emit some heat. Allow sufficient space around the unit when in use, and do NOT place near other items or appliances.
16. Check that your home power supply corresponds with the intended voltage of the air fryer.
17. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance during use or storage; this may cause the wire to fray and break.
18. This product is not a deep fryer. It is NOT meant to be filled with oil. Never fill any parts of the air fryer with oil. If you choose to use oil,          toss food with oil in a separate bowl and then transfer food to the removable rack or basket.
19. Do NOT leave uncooked ingredients in the air fryer for more than a short period of time before cooking; raw meat, poultry, fish, fruits,  and vegetables can spoil.
20. Do NOT move the air fryer while it is full of food.
21. Do NOT move the unit during use. During initial use, you may notice some smoke and/or a slight odor. This is normal and should quickly dissipate. It should not happen after the appliance has been used a few more times.
22. Do NOT leave the air fryer unattended during use.
23. Some areas do get HOT during use, and the touch screen may get warm. Do NOT touch the heating elements. Do NOT place hands or other body parts near the air vents while the air fryer is in use; burns may result. Take caution when handling the hot air fryer rack and all removable parts.
24. Use protective mitts and/or tongs to remove hot food from the air fryer.

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least  as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The longer 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.

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGEOR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

How to Use the Air Fryer

Before First Use

Before First Use:

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 the unit except for the rating label, which should remain on the unit.
3. Wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth.
4. Wash the basket and rack with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.

Quick Start: How to Cook in the Air Fryer

The air fryer’s high-speed fan cooks your favorite foods quickly for perfect results each time. 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 fill 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. Place the air fryer on a hard, flat surface with at least 6 inches of clearance on top and in back for proper air flow, then plug in the air fryer.
2. Lower the rack into the basket making sure the feet are pointing down. There should be a small amount of space between the rack and the bottom of the basket. Press down on the rack to ensure it is secure and level.vist:https://www.clubchefman.com/

CAUTION: Never use aerosol cooking spray on the air fryer’s nonstick parts, as it can cause the coating to chip.

Special Function: HI-FRY

Y The HI-FRY button raises the temperature to 450˚F for 2 minutes to give foods a little additional browning and an extra-crispy finish. You can press it either toward the end of the cooking cycle or just after it ends.

Cooking Presets at a Glance

The cooking presets let you quickly and conveniently program the unit. They represent average times and temperatures, so always check foods for doneness before serving.

Cooking Tips

Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes, if you like.

While not necessary, preheating the 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 air fryer will be hot.

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 air 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 tempura or beer batter, should not be used in the air fryer, as the batter does not set quickly and will drip off the food. Instead, stick to thick, pasty batters or breaded foods like chicken nuggets.

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 is to fry food in batches.

Shake the basket during cooking for even cooking

A good shake is especially beneficial for smaller foods like french fries, onion rings, and chicken wings. For larger or more fragile foods, consider gently tossing or flipping for even results.

Keep it Clean

With its nonstick coating and dishwasher-safe parts, the air fryer is super easy to clean.

1. Unplug the air fryer and let it cool completely before cleaning.
2. To remove the cooled rack from the basket, pull the rack straight up and out, using the center hole for easier handling. CAUTION: Do NOT lift the rack out of the basket when hot.
3. Wash the basket and rack with warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry well. The basket and rack are also top-rack dishwasher safe.
4. Wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth. Do NOT put the unit in the dishwasher or submerge in water or any other liquid.           Do NOT use abrasive cleansers, or you could damage the finishes.
5. Dry the unit and all accessories completely before storing.
