FUNCTION CHART

FUNCTION	INSERT
GRILL	Always use the grill grate for the GRILL function. Do not use the air fry basket.	Lid may be opened or closed
		Lid must be closed.
	Always use the air fry basket for the AIR FRY, BAKE, ROAST, and DEHYDRATE functions. Do not use the grill grate.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove and discard all packaging material, labels, and tape from the unit.
2. Remove and clean the grill grate, air fry basket, drip tray and drip tray cover 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. The smell will go away after the first few uses.

WARNING:

Do not put anything on top of the unit.

Do not place the unit 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 unit to allow for proper ventilation.

Do not fill the air fry basket with oil, frying fat, or any other liquid - air frying works by circulating hot air.

When spraying food for a crispier finish, it is recommend to use regular cooking oil instead of cooking spray, as the latter may damage the nonstick coating.

HOW TO PLACE THE PROBE

- Insert the probe horizontally into the center of the thickest part of the food.

NOTE: The thickest part of the food may not be the center. It is important that the probe's end be positioned for the desired result.

- Ensure the top of the probe is inserted straight into the center of the food, not angled toward the bottom or top of it.

- The probe should be close to (but not touching) the bone and should be away from any fat or gristle.

- Do not use the probe for frozen proteins or for cuts of meat 1 inch thick or thinner.

- Do not place lid over probe grip, as it will prop open the lid and create inaccurate temperature readings (The lid can be closed on the temperature probe's cable).

STOP / CANCEL COOKING

• Tap the STOP / CANCEL once to pause cooking.
• Tap the START to resume cooking.
• Tap the STOP / CANCEL twice to cancel cooking.

NOTE: When using the AIR FRY, BAKE, ROAST, or DEHYDRATE functions, the unit will pause automatically if the lid is open.

GRILLING TIPS

• Always ensure raw meat and poultry are cooked to safe internal temperatures.
• For foods that have been marinated or are delicate, like flaky white fish, spray or brush the grill grate with regular cooking oil.
• For faster cooking cut foods into smaller pieces.
• For more even cooking, make sure food being cooked at the same time is the same thickness and size.

AIR FRYING 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 36 through 39 of the Gourmia Recipe Book.

• Always ensure raw meat and poultry are cooked to safe internal temperatures.

- Check food for desired doneness a few minutes before cook time elapses and cook a little longer if necessary.

• Air fryers perform similar to ovens; follow 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.

- Preheating the air fryer before adding food will generally deliver the best results (see PREHEAT on page 10).

- When cooking multiple batches in a row, only preheat before the first batch.

- Turning food halfway through cook time will deliver evenly browned and crispy results (see TURN REMINDER on page 10).

- 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 air fry basket to bake a cake or quiche or to air fry fragile or filled ingredients.
