IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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:
a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance; and
b. The extension 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 3-PRONG PLUG
This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding-type plug. It should be properly connected to a grounding-type outlet. The plug is designed to fit ONLY a 3-grounding outlet unit, and as such, the grounding prong should never be removed. If needed, a 2-prong adapter may be used if local codes allow it.
Power: | 120V 60HZ 1650W |

BEFORE FIRST USE
- Remove and discard all packaging material, labels, and tape from the unit.
- Remove and clean the grill grate, air fry basket, drip tray, and drip tray cover with hot water, dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. Dry all parts before use.
- Wipe the inside and outside of the unit with a moist cloth.
NOTE: During the first few uses, there might be a “hot plastic” smell. This is perfectly normal 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 unit.
Do not place the unit against a wall or against other appliances. It is
important to leave at least 4 inches of free space above and around all sides
of the unit to allow for proper ventilation.
Do not fill the air fry basket with oil, frying fat, or any other liquid – air
frying works by circulating hot air.
When spraying food for a crispier finish, it is recommended to use regular
cooking oil instead of cooking spray, as the latter may damage the nonstick
coating.

- Always ensure raw meat and poultry are cooked to safe internal temperatures.
- For foods that have been marinated or are delicate, like flaky white fish, spray or brush the grill grate with regular cooking oil.
- For faster cooking cut foods into smaller pieces.
- For more even cooking, make sure food is cooked at the same time is the same thickness and size.
AIR FRYING 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 36 through 39 of the Gourmia Recipe Book.
- Always ensure raw meat and poultry are cooked to safe internal temperatures.
- Check food for the desired doneness a few minutes before cook time elapses and cook a little longer if necessary.
- 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 on page 9).
- When cooking multiple batches in a row, only preheat before the first batch.
- Turning 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 air fry basket to bake a cake or quiche or to air fry fragile or filled ingredients.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

coating.
