Important Safeguards

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER

1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plugs, or the appliance in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
13. Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
14. Extension Cord: A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The 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 unintentionally.
15. Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the air fryer as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
16. A fire may occur if the air fryer is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.
17. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.
18. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of materials other than metal or glass.
19. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's recommended accessories, in this air fryer when not in use.
20. Do not place any of the following materials in the air fryer: paper, cardboard, plastic, and the like.
21. Do not cover the tray or any part of the air fryer with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the air fryer.
22. Pressing the [power icon] at any time during the cooking process will shut down the unit, causing the display to go dark immediately and the power light to go off immediately. The fan will continue running for 40 seconds to cool down the unit.
23. Use extreme caution when removing the tray or disposing of hot grease.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Power: AC120V~ 60Hz 1750W

Before First Use

3. 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 and 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 other appliances. Leave at least 4 inches of free space above and around all sides of the air fryer for proper ventilation.

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, use regular cooking oil instead of cooking spray, as cooking spray 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 60 through 63 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 similarly to ovens; follow oven instructions on item packaging or recipe.
• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cook time than larger ingredients.
• Preheating the air fryer before adding food generally delivers the best results (see PREHEAT on page 7). When cooking multiple batches, only preheat before the first batch.
• Turning or tossing food halfway through cook time delivers evenly browned and crispy results (see TURN REMINDER on page 7).
• 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 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.
