Important Safeguards
Read all instructions before using the electric appliance.
For household use only.
The following basic precautions should always be followed:
- This appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or a lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have supervision.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they DO NOT play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance SHALL NOT be done by children unless they are supervised.
- Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local main voltage before you connect the appliance.
- DO NOT use the appliance if the plug, the main cord or the appliance itself is damaged. Always make sure that the plug is inserted properly into a wall outlet.
- DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or if the appliance has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- DO NOT let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, nor let it touch hot surfaces.
- To protect against electric shock, DO NOT immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
- DO NOT plug in the appliance or operate the control panel with wet hands.
- NEVER connect this appliance to an external timer switch or separate remote-control system in order to avoid a hazardous situation. To disconnect, turn off the appliance, then remove the plug from wall outlet.
- DO NOT place the appliance on or near combustible materials such as a tablecloth or curtain. The accessible surfaces may become hot during use. DO NOT place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- DO NOT place the appliance against a wall or against other appliances. Leave at least 4 inches of free space on the back and sides and 4 inches of free space above the appliance. DO NOT place anything on top of the appliance.
- DO NOT use the appliance for any other purpose than described in this manual. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
- DO NOT leave the appliance unattended when plugged in.
- EXTREME CAUTION must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
- DO NOT touch the hot surfaces; use the handle. During air frying, hot steam is released through the air outlet openings. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the steam and from the air outlet openings. Also be careful of hot steam and air when you remove the basket from the appliance.
- After using the appliance, avoid contact with the hot metal inside.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning
- IMMEDIATELY unplug the appliance if you see dark smoke coming from the appliance. Wait for the smoke emission to stop before you remove the basket from the appliance.
- DO NOT use outdoors.

Cord and Plug Safety
- A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce 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.
• 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, the plug is intended to be used by
inserting it into the electrical outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
securely into the outlet, reverse the plug and re-insert. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician for assistance. Do not modify the plug in
any way.
Power: 120V~ 60Hz 1,500W
Before First Use
- Remove all packaging, stickers, and labels from the air fryer, including the tape securing the basket to the unit.
- To pull out the basket for cleaning, secure the unit with one hand and pull the basket handle straight back with the other hand.
- Thoroughly clean the basket and crisper tray 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 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 any cooking surface, including gas or electric
cooktops, even if the surface is cool / turned off.
• If using parchment paper or other liner, ALWAYS be sure there is food on top
of the liner to weigh it down and keep it safely secured in place.
Oil Spray
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 64 through 67 of the Gourmia Recipe Book.
- Check food for desired doneness a few minutes before cook time elapses and cook a little longer if necessary.
- Always ensure raw proteins reach food-safe temperature.
- 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 bottom of page 8).
- 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 bottom of page 8).
- 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 and Maintenance
Cleaning
NOTE: 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.
- Ensure the air fryer is completely dry before using.
