3. To protect against electrical shock
do not immerse 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 o 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 cord hang over edge of

disconnect, turn any control to “o”,
then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
14. Extension Cord:
a) A short power-supply cord is

may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
c) The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the

d) 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 an air fryer as they
may create a fire or risk of electric
shock.
16. A fire may occur if the air 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

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.
17. Do not clean with metal scouring
pads. Pieces can break o 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 manufacturers 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 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 power light
to go o immediately. The fan will
continue running for 40 seconds to
cool down the unit.

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 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.
To avoid the risk of fire:
• NEVER place the air fryer on a gas or electric stovetop, even if the
stovetop is o.
• If using parchment paper or other liner, always be sure there is food in the
basket so the liner is safely secured in place.

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.
USING THE ROTISSERIE SPIT
10. Gently lift the right side of the rotisserie spit from the hook, then free
the left side from the rotisserie gear.
11. Carefully pull the rotisserie spit from the air fryer using the lift tool and
place it on a heat-resistant surface.
See CAUTION on page 13. Always be sure to use the lift tool and the proper
hand protection when removing the rotisserie spit.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
The air fryer does not
work.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
The air fryer is not
plugged in.
The timer has not been
set.
The ingredients did
not cook.
There are too many
ingredients in the air fryer.
The set temperature is
too low.
The cook time is too
short.
SOLUTION
Plug the main plug into a grounded
wall socket.
Tap the temperature controls to set
the required cook time to turn on the
air fryer.
Put smaller batches of ingredients
in the air fryer. Smaller batches are
fried more evenly.
Tap temperature controls to set the
required temperature setting.
Tap time controls to set the required
cook time.
Certain types of ingredients
need to be shaken halfway
through the cook time.
Ingredients that lie on top of or
across each other (e.g. fries) need
to be shaken halfway through the
cook time (see TURN REMINDER
on page 7).
The ingredients are
fried unevenly.
You used a type of snack
meant to be cooked in a
traditional deep fryer.
Use oven snacks or lightly brush
some oil onto the snacks for a crisp-
ier result.
Fried snacks are not
crispy.
You are preparing greasy
ingredients.
When you fry greasy ingredients in the
air fryer, a large amount of oil will leak
into the air fryer. The oil produces white
smoke and the air fryer may heat up
more than usual. This does not aect
the air fryer or the end result.
White smoke comes
out of the air fryer.
The air fryer still contains
grease residue from
previous use.
White smoke is caused by grease
heating up in the air fryer. Make
sure you clean the air fryer properly
after each use.
Quality potatoes will give
an even cook.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure
they stay firm during frying.
Fresh fries are fried
unevenly.
Potatoes are too starchy. Rinse the potato sticks properly
and dry to remove starch from the
outside of the sticks.
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.
Fresh fries are not
crispy.
