Operating Instructions

The GoWISE USA Air Fryer features a user-friendly digital touchscreen for easy operation.

General Operation

1. Power On: Plug in the air fryer. The display will illuminate.
2. Preheating: For best results, preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at the desired cooking temperature before adding food.
3. Loading Food: Pull out the basket by the handle. Place food onto the crisper tray. Do not overfill the basket to allow for proper air circulation.
4. Selecting Function: Use the digital touchscreen to select one of the 8 preset cooking functions (Air Fry, Roast, Broil, Dehydrate, Grill, Bake, Reheat, Keep Warm) or manually set the temperature and time.
5. Adjusting Settings: Use the temperature and time arrows on the touchscreen to adjust settings as needed. The temperature range is typically 180°F to 400°F. Cooking time can be set up to 60 minutes (24 hours for Dehydrate).
6. Start Cooking: Press the Start/Pause button to begin cooking.
7. Shaking/Flipping: For even cooking, some foods may require shaking or flipping halfway through the cooking process. The air fryer will beep to remind you.
8. Removing Food: Once cooking is complete, carefully pull out the basket. Use heat-resistant tongs to remove food.

Using the Dehydrator Function

The dehydrator function allows for extended cooking times up to 24 hours, ideal for making dried fruits, vegetables, or jerky.

• Prepare your ingredients by slicing them thinly and uniformly.
• Place the stackable racks into the air fryer basket. Arrange ingredients on the racks, ensuring even spacing for optimal airflow.
• Select the "Dehydrate" preset on the digital touchscreen.
• Adjust the temperature and time as per your recipe. Dehydrating typically uses lower temperatures (e.g., 120°F - 160°F) for longer durations.
• Monitor the dehydration process periodically.

2. Basket and Crisper Tray: These components are ceramic-coated and should be hand washed with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Do not use metal utensils or abrasive cleaning materials as they can damage the non-stick coating. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
