appliance works by circulating hot air.
Do not put anything on top of the air fryer.

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 and Dehydrate Chart on pages 64 through 67 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. (See TURN REMINDER on
page 9).
• 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
The air fryer does
not work.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
The air fryer is not
plugged in.
The timer has not been
set.
The basket is not put
into the air fryer prop-
erly.
The basket is overfilled.
The ingredients did
not cook.
There are too many in-
gredients in the basket.
The set temperature is
too low.
The cook time is too
short.
SOLUTION
Plug the main plug into a ground-
ed wall socket.
Tap +and -icons to set the
required cook time to turn on the
air fryer.
Slide the basket into the air fryer
properly.
Do not fill the basket beyond max
line.
Put smaller batches of ingredients
in the basket. Smaller batches are
fried more evenly.
Tap +and -icons to set the re-
quired temperature setting.
Tap +and -icons to set the re-
quired cook time.
Certain types of ingredi-
ents 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 9.)
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
crispier 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 basket. The
oil produces white smoke and the
basket 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 basket still contains
grease residue from
previous use.
White smoke is caused by grease
heating up in the basket. Make
sure you clean the basket proper-
ly 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.
The basket does
not fit inside the air
fryer.
