Before the first use of your GOURMIA GAF1190, follow these steps:

1. Remove all packaging, stickers, and labels, including the tape securing the baskets to the air fryer.

2. To pull out the baskets for cleaning, secure the air fryer with one hand and pull the basket handles straight back with the other hand.

3. Remove all packaging from inside the baskets. Thoroughly clean the crisper trays, baskets, and racks with hot water, dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. Dry thoroughly.

4. Wipe the inside chambers 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 normal in new air fryers as the material is heated for the first time and will go away after a few uses.

The crisper trays for your GOURMIA GAF1190 can be placed in two positions depending on your needs. The silicone bumpers on the crisper tray must be left on during use.

To place the crisper tray in the middle of the basket:

The indents on the crisper tray should face the front of the basket.

To place the crisper tray at the bottom of the basket:

The indents on the crisper tray should face the back of the basket.

*Preheat can be skipped by tapping START/STOP a second time.

Note: When cooking with only one basket, follow the cook time under SINGLE BASKET. When using both baskets, follow the cook time under DUAL BASKETS.

Note: Always ensure raw proteins reach a food-safe temperature. Turn food or shake basket halfway through cook time for best results.

Check food for desired doneness a few minutes before the cook time elapses and cook longer if needed.

• 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 temperatures.

• Air fryers perform similarly 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.

• 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.

• 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 in the basket to bake a cake or quiche or to air fry fragile or filled foods.

Warning: Never immerse the cord, plug, or air fryer in water or any other liquid. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean the baskets or crisper trays, as this may damage the nonstick coating.

Cleaning: Clean the air fryer after every use.

1. Unplug the air fryer from the outlet before cleaning.

2. Let the air fryer cool down completely. Remove the baskets to help it cool down quicker.

3. Clean the baskets, crisper trays, and racks in the dishwasher’s top rack only, or with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge.

4. If residue is stuck to the bottom of a basket, fill it with hot water and dish soap and let it soak.

5. Wipe the outside of the air fryer with a moist cloth.

6. Clean the inside of the air fryer with hot water, dish soap, and a cleaning brush to remove any food residue.

7. Ensure the air fryer is completely dry before using.

Storage:

• Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.

• Make sure all parts are clean and dry.

• Store the appliance in a clean and dry place.

There are a few possible causes:

• The air fryer does not have power. Ensure the plug is properly inserted into an outlet and there is no tripped circuit breaker.

• The timer has not been set. Tap the plus and minus icons 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 basket may be overfilled. Do not overfill the basket with food.

This could be due to two reasons:

• The set temperature is too low. Tap the plus and minus icons to set the required temperature setting.

• The cook time is too short. Tap the plus and minus icons to set the required cook time.

Some foods, especially smaller items, need to be turned halfway through the cook time. Try turning or shaking the food halfway through the cooking process for more even results.

The air fryer basket was likely overfilled. Cook in smaller batches and keep food in a single layer. Many foods also need a small amount of oil to brown and crisp properly, so try coating food with a little oil.

There are two common reasons for white smoke:

1. You are preparing greasy ingredients. When you fry greasy ingredients, 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.

2. 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 properly after each use.
