ELECTRICAL POLARIZED PLUG

This unit 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.

 BEFORE FIRST USE
BEFORE FIRST USE

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

2. To pull out the basket for cleaning, secure the unit with one hand and pull
the basket handle straight back with the other hand.

3. Thoroughly clean the basket and crisper tray with hot water, dishwashing
liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge.

4. 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 a gas or electric stovetop, even if the
stovetop is off.

• If using parchment paper or other 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
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 page 9).

• 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 cook fragile
or filled ingredients.

• 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.

brush to remove any food residue.
