Safety Instructions and 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 a handle or dials.

3. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cable, plugs or unit body in water or other liquids.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
   near children.

5. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised. Keep the appliance and its cable out of reach of children less than 8 years old.

6. Unplug from the socket when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.

7. Do NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cable or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Chefman® Customer Support for examination, repair or adjustment.

8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Chefman® may cause injuries.

9. Do NOT use outdoors.

10. Do NOT let cable hang over the edge of the table or worktop, or touch hot surfaces.

11. Do NOT place on or near a hot gas or electric hob, or in a heated oven.

12. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

13. To disconnect, turn any control to off, then remove the plug from the wall socket.

14. Do NOT use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.

15. 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, hob or oven, even if not on. Do NOT use near an open flame or flammable materials.

16. The unit will emit some heat. Allow sufficient space around the unit when in use, and do NOT place it near other items or appliances.

17. Check that your home power supply corresponds with the intended voltage of the air fryer.

18. Never wrap the cable tightly around the appliance during use or storage; this may cause the wire to fray and break.

19. 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.

• WARNING: Please ensure that the electrical socket can accommodate the plug supplied with the product. Do not attempt to alter the plug in any way.
• CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against the risk of electric shock, connect to properly earthed sockets only.

Short Cable Instructions
A short power-supply cable is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping over a longer cable. Longer detachable power-supply cables or extension leads are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension lead is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension lead should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. If the appliance is of the earthed type, the extension lead should be an earthed-type 3-wire cable; and
3. The longer cable should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or worktop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Do not place the appliance on a hob or any other heatable surface, even if the hob is not on. Doing so is a fire hazard.

Power Cable Safety Tips

1. Never pull or yank on the cable or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the socket.
3. To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the socket.
4. Never use the product if the power cable shows signs of abrasion or excessive wear. Contact Chefman® Customer Support for additional guidance and support.
5. Never wrap the cable tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cable where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

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

How to Use the Air Fryer

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 favourite foods quickly for perfect results each time. The rack in the basket allows air to circulate 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 unit on a hard, flat surface with at least 15 cm of clearance on top and in the back for proper airflow; then plug in the air fryer.

2. Lower the rack into the basket, lining up the arrows on the floor of the basket with the arrows on the rack for proper fitting. 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. CAUTION: Never use aerosol cooking spray on the air fryer’s nonstick parts, as it can cause the coating to chip.

3. Place the food on the rack and slide the basket into the air fryer. To allow for good air circulation, do not fill the basket past the MAX line.

4. Set the time and temperature as desired. To set the temperature, press the TIME/TEMP button until the temperature displays, then press the plus or minus sign. To set the time, press the TIME/TEMP button until the time displays, then press the plus or minus sign. Alternatively, press one of the preset buttons. This will set the preprogrammed time and temperature (see chart on p. 13 for details). Press START to begin cooking.

5. During cooking, the Shake light on the control panel will turn on as
   a reminder to shake (or flip) food. Remove the basket and shake the food, then return the basket to the unit to continue cooking. If your food does not need to be shaken, flipped or turned, simply ignore the warning and it will turn off after 60 seconds. NOTE: You can remove the basket at any time during cooking to check on food. When you return the basket to the unit, cooking will resume where it left off.

6. When the timer is done, the air fryer will beep and cooking will stop.

Remove the basket, check food for doneness and serve.
Special Function: HI-FRY The HI-FRY button raises the temperature to 235˚C for 2 minutes to give foods a little additional browning and an extra crispy finish.

Tips and Cooking Presets Chart

• 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.
• 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 mid-cycle 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.
• Follow food safety guidelines for doneness. Because air fryer temperatures and food sizes can vary, do not rely exclusively on recipe timing when cooking food. Check foods for doneness against current safety guidelines before serving.

Cooking Presets Chart
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.

Food| Default Time| Default Temp| Shake Indicator
---|---|---|---
Meat| 18 min| 190 °C| Comes on halfway through cook time.
Chicken| 22 min| 205 °C| Comes on halfway through cook time.
Fish| 10 min| 190 °C| Comes on halfway through cook time.
Fries| 18 min| 205 °C| Comes on halfway through cook time.

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 centre 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. Do NOT use window cleaner on the basket window.
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.

Having Trouble?

air fry with no added oil, coating foods very lightly with oil (usually just

½ teaspoon per batch) helps guarantee crisp results.

Food cooked unevenly.| Food was overcrowded in the basket; food was not shaken or flipped during cooking.| Fill the air fryer basket loosely with food to let air circulate. Shake, toss or flip foods at least once during cooking for more even results.
Smoke is coming from the unit.| There is too much fat in the oven.| Avoid cooking very fatty foods, such as sausages, in the oven, and be sure the basket, rack and interior of the unit are clean before cooking. Otherwise, contact Chefman® Customer Support for assistance.
An error code is displayed on the control panel.| If E3 displays, it means the air fryer has shut off due to overheating protection. If E1 or E2 displays, it means there is a malfunction that can’t be fixed.| E3: Allow the air fryer to cool fully and it will operate normally.

E1 or E2: Please contact Chefman® Customer Support.
