SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS &
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 move the air fryer while it is full of food.
20. Do NOT leave the air fryer unattended during use.
21. 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.
22. Use protective mitts and/or tongs to remove hot food from the air fryer.
23. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified 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

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 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.

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 airflow, then plug in the air fryer.

Quick Start: How to Cook 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.
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. Choose a cooking function (see p. 12 for a description of the functions).
Then set the temperature using the TEMP adjustment buttons and the
time using the TIME adjustment buttons. Press START to begin cooking.
5. Depending on your cook function, the SHAKE reminder light on the control
panel may turn on and the unit beep halfway through the cook time.
Remove the basket and shake (or flip) food, then return the basket to the
unit to continue cooking. If your food does not need to be shaken, simply
ignore the warning and it will turn off after about 60 seconds. NOTE: You can
press the Light button OR remove the basket at any time during cooking to
check on foods. 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, cooking will stop, and the
READY light will display. Remove the basket, check food for doneness,
and serve.

Cooking Functions at a Glance
The cooking functions make your TurboFry® way more versatile than the average
air fryer. By varying the fan speed, time, and temperature, they let
you bake, broil, reheat leftovers, and more. They represent average times
and temperatures, so always check foods for doneness before serving.

specifically for air fryers rather than boxed mixes.
** For even cooking, the Frozen function runs for first 5 minutes at 200°F, then
increases to the selected temperature.

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.
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. When air frying or cooking
frozen food, 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.
Check on foods early. Check foods on the earlier side of the cooking time to
avoid overcooking. You can always slide the basket back in to continue cooking.
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.
14
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 holes 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 user glass
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?
Problem Likely Cause Solution
Air-fried food isn’t
golden brown
and crisp.
Food wasn’t tossed in oil. While you can air fry with no added oil,
coating foods very lightly with oil (usually just
½ teaspoon per batch) helps guarantee crisp
results. Preheating the air fryer also helps.
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. When air frying or cooking frozen
food, 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 air fryer, 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
displayed on the
control panel.
If E3 displays, it means the
air fryer has shut off due to
overheat protection. If E1 or
E2 displays, it means there
is a malfunction that can’t
be fixed.
E3: Unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool
fully. It should then operate normally. E1 or E2:
please contact Chefman Customer Support.
