IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Read all instructions before using the electric appliance. The following basic precautions should always be followed:

1. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children younger than 8) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or a lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have supervision.
2. Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local main voltage before you connect the appliance.
3. Do not use the appliance if the plug, the main cord, or the appliance itself is damaged. Always make sure that the plug is inserted properly into a wall outlet.
4. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorised service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised.
6. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
7. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquids. Do not plug in the appliance or operate the control panel with wet hands.
8. Never connect this appliance to an external timer switch or separate remote-control system in order to avoid a hazardous situation. To disconnect, turn off the appliance, then unplug it from the wall outlet.
9. Do not place the appliance on or near combustible materials such as a tablecloth or curtain. The accessible surfaces may become hot during use. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
10. Do not place the appliance against a wall or against other appliances. Leave at least 4 inches of free space on the back and sides and 4 inches of free space above the appliance. Do not place anything on top of the appliance.
11. Do not use the appliance for any other purpose than described in this manual. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
12. Do not let the appliance operate unattended. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
13. Do not use outdoors.
14. Do not touch the hot surfaces; use the handle. During air frying, hot steam is released through the air outlet openings. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from 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 the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.

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 in place. Secure the unit with one hand and pull the handle straight back with the other hand.

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.

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 similarly 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 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 for 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.
