The Chefman Multifunctional Digital Air Fryer+ (model RJ38-RDO-V12) is a versatile kitchen appliance designed for healthier cooking with little to no oil. It offers multiple cooking functions beyond air frying, including baking, dehydrating, and rotisserie-style roasting. Its sleek design makes it a suitable addition to any countertop.
Function Description:
The primary function of this appliance is air frying, which allows users to achieve crisp perfection in foods with minimal oil. In addition to air frying, it can also be used for baking, dehydrating, and rotisserie cooking. The unit features a capacitive touch control panel with various cooking presets and manual temperature and time adjustments.
Important Technical Specifications:
While specific wattage and voltage are not explicitly listed in the provided pages, the device is designed for household use. The rotisserie spit has a maximum capacity of 4 lbs. The temperature range for most air frying is between 350°F (175°C) and 400°F (205°C), with a HI-FRY option to temporarily raise the temperature to 450°F (235°C) for 2 minutes. The unit operates with a short power-supply cord to reduce hazards, and if a longer extension cord is used, its electrical rating should be at least as great as the appliance's, and it should be arranged to prevent tripping.
Usage Features:
- Control Panel: The intuitive capacitive touch control panel includes cook function buttons (Air Fry, Bake, Dehydrate), cooking presets (Meat, Fries, Chicken, Cake, Fish, Veggies, Jerky, Fruits), and buttons for temperature and time adjustment.
- Temperature and Time Adjustment: Users can manually set the desired temperature using the Oven +/- buttons and time using the Time +/- buttons. The display shows the current oven temperature and time. The unit can switch between °F and °C by pressing both Oven +/- buttons for 5 seconds, or both Time +/- buttons for 5 seconds.
- Cooking Presets: Dedicated icons for various foods allow for quick selection of pre-programmed temperatures and times, which can be overridden if desired.
- Rotate Function: The ROTATE button, when selected (lit blue), continuously rotates food 360° for even cooking, particularly useful with the rotisserie spit. This function is not available for Dehydrate mode.
- HI-FRY Button: This button becomes available during a cooking cycle and temporarily increases the temperature to 450°F (235°C) for 2 minutes to enhance browning. It is not available for Dehydrate.
- +2 MIN Button: Available towards the end of cooking, this button adds 2 minutes to the current cooking cycle at the current temperature and can be pressed repeatedly for additional time. It is not available for Dehydrate.
- Oven Light Button: Turns the interior oven light on/off, allowing users to check food progress through the viewing window without opening the door.
- Sound Button: Mutes the unit's beeps.
- FLIP Light: Blinks midway through the Air Fry cooking cycle as a reminder to flip food for even cooking. It turns off after 60 seconds if ignored.
- READY Light: Illuminates when food is ready, indicating the end of the cooking cycle.
- Circular Progress Bars: Segments progressively illuminate during cooking, providing a visual indication of progress.
- Removable Door with Viewing Window: Allows for easy monitoring of food and simplifies cleaning. The door has a cool-touch handle.
- Cooking Accessories: Includes three wire cooking racks, a drip tray/baking pan, a rotisserie spit with spit forks and screws, and a fetch tool for safe removal of the hot rotisserie spit.
- No Preheating Required: The air fryer cooks faster than traditional ovens and does not require preheating.
- Automatic Sleep Mode: The unit enters Sleep Mode after 20 minutes of inactivity to conserve energy. It can be woken by opening the door or pressing START/STOP.
Maintenance Features:
- Easy Cleaning: The air fryer is designed for frequent and easy cleaning.
- Exterior and Interior Cleaning: The exterior and interior can be wiped down with a clean, damp cloth and dried thoroughly. The unit should never be submerged in water or put in a dishwasher.
- Door Cleaning: The glass on the door can be washed with dish soap and warm water using a sponge, soft cloth, or nylon pad. Spray glass cleaners should not be used. The door can be removed from its hinges for easier cleaning by sliding it to the right when open, and reattached by aligning the hinges and sliding it to the left.
- Accessory Cleaning: All accessories (wire racks, drip tray/baking pan, rotisserie spit, spit forks, fetch tool) are top-rack dishwasher safe and can also be washed with warm, soapy water, rinsed, and dried.
- Abrasive Cleansers: Avoid using abrasive cleansers, as they can damage the finishes.
- Storage: Store the air fryer in a cool, dry place.
- Cord Care: Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance during use or storage to prevent fraying and breakage.
