Read all instructions before using the electric appliance. The following basic precautions should always be followed:
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: 120V 60HZ 1500W

PREHEAT Preheating the air fryer before adding food will generally deliver the best results. When cooking multiple batches in a row, only preheat before the first batch. Tap PREHEAT before START to enable or disable preheating. When preheating is enabled, PREHEAT appears in red on the Display. |
TURN REMINDER Turning or tossing food halfway through cook time will deliver evenly browned and crispy results. Tap TURN REMINDER before START to enable or disable Turn Reminder. When Turn Reminder is enabled, TURN appears in red on the Display. |

Note: A check mark indicates Preheat and Turn Reminder can be enabled or disabled by tapping PREHEAT/TURN REMINDER before tapping START.
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.
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.
Always use caution when removing the Basket during/after cooking.
Carefully remove Basket - hot steam may escape!
The Basket and food will be hot! Do not touch hot surfaces.
Do not use sharp or metal utensils to avoid scratching the nonstick surface.
Do not turn the Basket upside down, as any excess oil that has collected on the bottom of the Basket will leak onto the food.
Cooking Tip: For ideal temperature and time settings for various foods, see the Air Fry Cooking Chart and Dehydrate Chart on pages 64 through 67 of the Gourmia Recipe Book.
Tip: Press and hold + and - icons to increase and decrease temperature and time rapidly.
Tap STOP/CANCEL once to stop cooking. Tap START to resume cooking.
Removing the Basket from the air fryer during cooking will stop cooking. Returning the Basket to the air fryer will automatically resume cooking.
Tap STOP/CANCEL twice to cancel cooking.
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 Basket and Crisper Tray, as this may damage the non-stick coating.
Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment.

PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | SOLUTION |
The air fryer does not work. |
The air fryer is not plugged in. | Plug the main plug into a grounded wall socket. |
You have not set the timer. | Tap the timer icon to set the required cook time to turn on the air fryer. | |
The Basket is not put into the air fryer properly. | Slide the Basket into the air fryer properly. | |
The ingredients did not cook. |
There are too many ingredients in the Basket. | Put smaller batches of ingredients in the pan. Smaller batches are fried more evenly. |
The set temperature is too low. | Tap + and - Icons to set the required temperature setting. | |
The cook time is too short. | Tap + and - Icons to set the required cook time. | |
The ingredients are fried unevenly in the air fryer. |
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) |
Fried snacks are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer. |
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. |
I cannot slide the Basket into the air fryer properly. |
The Basket is overfilled. | Do not fill the Basket beyond max line. |
White smoke comes out of the air fryer. |
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 affect the air fryer or the end result. |
The Basket still contains grease residue from previous use. | White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the pan. Make sure you clean the Basket properly after each use. | |
Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the air fryer. |
Quality potatoes will give an even cook. | Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying. |
Potatoes are too starchy. | Rinse the potato sticks properly and dry to remove starch from the outside of the sticks. | |
Fresh fries are not crispy when they come out of the air fryer. |
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. |
