IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:

• Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the appliance in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
• 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.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Extension Cord: A short power-supply cord is provided. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised. 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.
• Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in an air fryer as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.
• Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of materials other than metal or glass.
• Do not store any materials, other than manufacturers recommended accessories, in this air fryer when not in use.
• Do not place any of the following materials in the air fryer: paper, cardboard, plastic, and the like.
• Do not cover tray or any part of the air fryer with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the air fryer.
• Pressing the power icon at any time during the cooking process will shut down the unit causing the display to go dark immediately and power light to go off immediately. The fan will continue running for 40 seconds to cool down the unit.
• Use extreme caution when removing 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.

PRESETS CHART

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove and discard all packaging material, labels, and tape from the unit.
2. Thoroughly clean the accessories with hot water, dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. Dry all parts before 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 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.
• 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

• 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 similar 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 will generally deliver the best results (see PREHEAT on page 7). 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 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 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.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

• NEVER immerse cord, plug, or air fryer in water or any other liquid.
• Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning material to clean the unit or the accessories.
• 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.
• Clean the accessories with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge.
• Clean the inside of the air fryer with hot water, dish soap and a cleaning brush to remove any food residue.
• Wipe the outside of the air fryer with a moist cloth.
• Ensure the air fryer and accessories are completely dry before using.

The rotisserie spit, forks, and lift tool, and air fry baskets are top rack dishwasher safe.

STORAGE
