IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against electrical shock do not immerse the cord, plugs, or (state-specific part or parts in question) in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow cooling before putting on or taking off parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
Do not use appliances for other than intended use.
Extension Cord:
- the short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
- Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
- The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
- The 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 unintentionally;
- If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a toaster oven as they may create a ﬁre or risk of electric shock.
A ﬁre may occur if their fryer oven is covered or touching ﬂammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.
Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of other than metal or glass.
Do not store any materials, other than manufacturers’ recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, and the like.
Do not cover the crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
Pressing the power button at any time during the cooking process will shut down the Unit causing the display to go dark immediately and running the light off immediately. The fan will continue running for 40 seconds to cool down the unit.
Use extreme caution when removing the tray or disposing of hot grease.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.

CORD AND PLUG SAFETY

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used:
The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance; and
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.

ELECTRICAL POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, 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.

Power: AC120V~ 60Hz 1600W

FIG-6

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove all packaging stickers and labels from the air fryer, including the tape securing the baskets to the unit.
To pull out the baskets for cleaning, secure the unit with one hand and pull the basket handle straight back with the other hand.
Thoroughly clean the baskets and crisper trays with hot water, dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge.
Wipe the inside chambers and outside of the air fryer with a moist cloth.

NOTE
During the ﬁrst few uses, there might be a “hot plastic” smell. This is perfectly normal in new air fryers as the material is heated for the ﬁrst time. The smell will go away after the ﬁrst few uses.

WARNING
Do not put anything on top of the air fryer.
Do not place the air fryer against a wall or against other appliances. It is important to leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of free space above and around all sides of the air fryer to allow for proper ventilation.
Do not ﬁll the basket with oil, frying fat, or any other liquid; this appliance works by circulating hot air.
To avoid the risk of ﬁre:

NEVER place the air fryer on a gas or electric stovetop, even if the stovetop is off.
If using parchment paper or another liner, always be sure there is food in the basket so the liner is safely secured in place.

NOTE
When spraying food for a crispier ﬁnish, we recommend using regular cooking oil instead of cooking spray, as the latter may damage the accessories.

COOKING TIPS

For an extensive list of foods and their ideal amounts, temperature and time settings, along with preparation notes, see the Air Fry Cooking Chart and Dehydrate Chart on pages 24 – 27 of the Gourmia Recipe Book.
When following instructions on item packaging or a standard recipe, reduce the cooking temperature by 14 °C (25°F).
Check food for desired doneness a few minutes before cook time elapses and cook a little longer if necessary.
When cooking in both baskets simultaneously, add additional cook time to each zone.
Always ensure raw proteins reach food-safe temperatures.
Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cook time than larger ingredients.
Preheating the air fryer before adding food will generally deliver the best results (see PREHEAT on page 14).
When cooking multiple batches in a row, only preheat before the ﬁrst batch.
Turning or tossing food halfway through cook time will deliver evenly browned and crispy results (see TURN REMINDER on page 14).
Toss fresh potatoes with 1 tablespoon of oil for a crispy exterior. Air fry the ingredients within a few minutes after adding the oil.
Do not cook foods that will produce a large amount of grease in the air fryer.
Place a baking pan or an oven-safe dish or pan in the basket to bake a cake or quiche or to air fry fragile or ﬁlled ingredients.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

WARNING
NEVER immerse the cord, plug, or air fryer in water or any other liquid. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning material to clean the baskets or crisper trays, as this may damage the nonstick coating.

Clean the air fryer after every use.
Unplug the air fryer from the outlet before cleaning.
Let the air fryer cool down completely before cleaning. Remove the baskets from the air fryer to cool it down more quicker.
Clean the baskets and crisper trays in the dishwasher’s top rack only or with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge.
If residue is stuck to the bottom of the baskets, ﬁll them with hot water and dish soap and let it soak.
Wipe the outside of the air fryer with a moist cloth.
Clean the inside of the air fryer with hot water, dish soap and a cleaning brush to remove any food residue.
