• Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If an extension cord is used:
  1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance; and
  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.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all packaging stickers and labels from the air fryer, including the tape securing the basket to the unit.

4. Wipe the inside chamber 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. It 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 4 inches of free space around the back and sides, and 4 inches of free space above the air fryer to allow for proper ventilation.
• Do not fill the basket with oil, frying fat, or any other liquid – this applianc works by circulating hot air.

When spraying food for a crispier finish, we recommend using regular cooking oil instead of cooking spray, as this may damage the nonstick coating.

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 64 through 67 of the Gourmia Recipe Book.

• Air fryers perform similar to ovens; follow oven instructions on item packaging or recipe.

• 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 ..

• 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 9).

• 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 cord, plug, or air fryer in water or any other liquid.

• Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning material to clean the basket or crisper tray, 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 basket from the air fryer to cool it down quicker.

• Clean the basket and crisper tray 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 basket, fill it 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.

White smoke comes out of the air fryer.| You are preparing greasy ingredients.| When you fry greasy ingredients in the air fryer, a large amount of oil will leak into the basket. The oil produces white smoke and the basket may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the air fryer or the end result.

White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the basket. Make sure you clean the basket properly after each use.

The basket still contains grease residue from previous use.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly.| Quality potatoes will give an even cook.| Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying.
Potatoes are too starchy.| Rinse the potato sticks properly and dry to remove starch from the outside of the sticks.
Fresh fries are not crispy.| The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries.| Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before you add the oil.
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result. Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.

FAQ’S

How do you use Gourmia Air Fryer 7 qt gaf798?

USING YOUR AIR FRYER:
Place the air fryer on a stable, level and heat-resistant surface.
Place the crisper tray into the basket and slide it into the air fryer.
Plug the air fryer into an outlet.
Tap the power icon to turn the air fryer on.
Tap the desired preset.
Tap TEMP / TIME to adjust temperature / time.

Can I use aluminum foil in my Gourmia air fryer?

I wouldn’t recommend putting anything in just because the air is meant to travel all the way around the food, top to bottom. So if you put foil or parchment paper you are going to block some air flow so you wont get as crispy of results.

What fruits can you dehydrate in air fryer?

However, most fruits (and vegetables) can be dehydrated. Her go-to’s are strawberries, apples, pears, peaches, and apricots, to which she adds a few teaspoons of lemon juice to help preserve their color. Store air-fried fruit in airtight containers.

What is the difference between a convection oven and an air fryer?

An air fryer uses hot air to cook food, while a convection oven uses both hot air and a fan to cook food.

How do I clean my air fryer?

All parts are dishwasher safe. However, we recommend hand washing the basket and lid for best results.

What can I cook in my air fryer?

Anything you can cook in your oven! We recommend cooking frozen foods at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. If you are cooking fresh foods, we recommend cooking at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Can I use metal utensils with my air fryer?

Yes! Metal utensils are okay to use with your air fryer. Avoid using plastic utensils as they may melt.

Is dehydrated fruit healthy?

Dried fruit is highly nutritious. One piece of dried fruit contains about the same amount of nutrients as the fresh fruit, but condensed in a much smaller package. By weight, dried fruit contains up to 3.5 times the fiber, vitamins and minerals of fresh fruit.

How do you preheat a Gourmia air fryer?

To begin the air frying process tap the power icon.
NOTE:  Press the preheat icon to add 3 minutes to the preparation time to preheat the air fryer. When cooking multiple batches only preheat before first batch.

How do you stop Gourmia air fryer?

If using these settings, press Start/Pause Button. When done, the Air Fryer will automatically turn Off. The Fan will continue to cool down for 1-5 minutes before turning Off.

Can I use vinegar to clean my air fryer?

Soak your fryer basket in a vinegar solution.
Mix a solution of half-vinegar, half-water and soak your basket for 15 minutes before scrubbing with your brush and rinsing.

Can you boil water in an air fryer?

Keep water away from the electronic parts of your Airfryer or you will end up damaging your machine and the heating element due to a short circuit. Heating a soup bowl or reheating gravy is perfectly fine. You won’t be able to boil the water in an air fryer, but you will end up with hot steamy liquid.
