the steam and from the air outlet openings. Also be careful of hot steam and air when you remove the basket from the appliance.
15. 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.

16. Immediately unplug the appliance if you see dark smoke coming out of the appliance. Wait for the smoke emission to stop before you remove the basket from the appliance.
17. For household use only.

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:
a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance; and
b. 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 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.

USING YOUR AIR FRYER
BEFORE FIRST USE 1. Remove all packaging stickers and labels from the air fryer, including the tape securing the Pan to the unit.
2. To pull out the Basket for cleaning, remove the tape securing it into place. Secure the unit with one hand and pull the handle straight back with the other hand.
3. Thoroughly clean the Basket and Crisper Tray with hot water, some dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge.
4. Wipe the inside 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 fill the Basket with oil, frying fat, or any other liquid - this appliance works by circulating hot air.
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.
USING YOUR AIR FRYER
1. Place the air fryer on a stable, horizontal, heat-resistant, and level surface.
2. Insert the Crisper Tray into the Basket and slide it into the air fryer.
3. Plug the air fryer into an outlet.

USING YOUR AIR FRYER

USING YOUR AIR FRYER
PREHEAT Preheating the air fryer before adding food will generally deliver the best results. When cooking multiple batches in a row, only preheat before the first batch.

To preheat: · Turn the Temperature Dial to desired temperature.

· Turn the Timer Dial past the 10 minute mark and then back to 5 minutes. The Power and Temperature Lights will turn on and the air fryer will begin preheating.

· When the Temperature Light turns off, the air fryer is preheated.

· Add food to the air fryer.

Continue with step 6.

Cooking Tip: Spray food with cooking oil for a crispier finish.

4. Add food to the air fryer.

5. Turn the Temperature Dial to desired temperature.

6. Turn the Timer Dial past the 10 minute mark. Then turn the Timer Dial to desired time. The Power and Temperature Lights will turn on and cooking will begin.
TURNING FOOD Turning or tossing food halfway through the cook time will deliver evenly browned and crispy results.

To cook without turning food, continue with step 9.

7. Halfway through the cook time, remove the Basket carefully and place it on a heat-resistant surface.

USING YOUR AIR FRYER

8. Turn or toss the food using tongs and return the Basket to the air fryer to automatically resume cooking.

9. When your selected cook time has elapsed, the timer bell will ring. Remove the Basket carefully and place it on a heatresistant surface.

10. Remove food from the Basket using tongs.

Note: The air fryer automatically shut offs when cook time has elapsed.

To turn the air fryer off at any time, turn the Timer Dial to 0.

Always use caution when removing the Basket during/after cooking.

Caution: Carefully remove Basket - hot steam may escape!

WARNING: The Basket and food will be hot! Do not touch hot surfaces.

Do not use sharp or metal utensils to avoid scratching the nonstick surface.

Do not turn the Basket upside down, as any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the Basket will leak onto the food.

USING THE TIMER

Option 1: The timer is set for the entire cook time, without ringing to notify you halfway through to turn food. You can remove the Basket at anytime to check the food.

Option 2: The timer can be set to ring when it's time to turn food

by setting the the timer to half of the total cook time. However, you

will have to set the timer again for the remaining cook time after the

Basket is replaced.

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 on pages 64 through 66 of the Gourmia Recipe Book.
· Air fryers perform similar to ovens, refer to 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.
· Turning or tossing food halfway through cook time will deliver evenly browned and crispy results.
· Add 1 tablespoon of oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Air fry the ingredients within a few minutes after adding the oil.
· Do not prepare 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.

Do not fill the Basket beyond max line.

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.

The Basket still contains grease residue from previous use.

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

Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer.

Quality potatoes will give an even cook.
Potatoes are too starchy.

Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying.
Rinse the potato sticks properly and dry to remove starch from the outside of the sticks.

Fresh fries are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer.

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.
