FAQS

Does the basket Leak

No it does not. It’s new in box.

What is an air fryer?

An air fryer is a countertop appliance that uses superheated air to cook food.

How does it work?

Air fryers use hot air to circulate around the food, cooking it from all sides. This method of cooking is similar to the convection ovens you may be familiar with.

What can I cook in my air fryer?

You can cook anything you would normally cook in your oven or on your stove top. Air fryers are great for cooking chicken wings, french fries, onion rings, and even desserts!

What’s the difference between an air fryer and a convection oven?

An air fryer uses superheated air to cook food, while a convection oven uses hot air and fan circulation to cook food. The end results are similar, but the cooking process is different!

What is right size for family of four?

We are a family of two. and I bought the 6 qt size for when the family comes for a meal. To cook steak or hamburgers the large size is best, because you can put in more then 2. I tried using this in our camper, but it blew a fuse, bought a smaller one to travel and it works fine.

Shipping cost?

INCLUDED IN THE PRICE

How to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit?

usethebook

Can you air fry 2 different foods at the same time?

Yes, you can do 2 different foods at the same time. A steel rack is provided that you can put midway in the fryer. So you can put one layer of food on the bottom and one on top of the rack. If the 2 foods require differing amounts of time, it can be done this way. Suppose one takes 30 minutes and the other takes 40. The air fryer has a feature that beeps when the food is one-half done so that you can turn the food over. So turn both foods over in 15 minutes and take one out in 30 minutes. Then do the other one an additional 5 minutes on each side. We really like our air fryer.

Can you view item and put back in to finish??

Yes. Press STOP before you remove the basket to check the food. Then replace the basket and press START. It will automatically start again.

Looking for a good cook book on how to use an air fryer

Mine came with a cookbook which I barely use. The air fryer is easy to use

Can you cook a whole chicken?

try to make it in 4 pieces

what is the depth dimension?

L x W x H: 15.1” x 11” x 14”

What non-stick material is the basket coated with?

It does not say the exact answer. Most air fryers are coated with teflon.

What are the dimensions of the cooker?

Product dimensions: 12Lx11Wx13.5H

How does this differ from the 686 model?

It’s a smaller version vs the 8qt

Are there replacement crisper trays?

The Gourmia 6 qt digital air fryer comes with a removable, non-stick, dishwasher safe crisping basket, a multi-purpose rack and and a crisper tray.

Do u remove 4 rubber tips on plate?

No they protect the sides of the air fryer. Leave them alone.

FRYING TIPS

AIR FRYING TIPS

Smaller ingredients require a shorter amount of cooking time than larger ingredients.
Shaking smaller ingredients halfway during the preparation time optimizes the end result and can avoid unevenly fried ingredients.
Never overfill, as this will damage the air fryer. Use caution when removing the cooking chamber from the unit, as contents will be
very hot.
A small amount of water (3-4 tbsp.) can be added to the cooking chamber for steaming food. Use caution when removing the cooking chamber from the unit, as ingredients and any remaining steam or water will be very hot.
Frozen foods, such as fries, chicken nuggets and fish sticks can be prepared by following the cooking chart.
Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
Place an oven safe dish in the air fryer cooking chamber when baking a cake or quiche.
For a crisp texture- spray oil over ingredients in the cooking chamber.
Use the air fryer to reheat food by setting the temperature to 300ºF for up to 10 minutes.

Note: Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance, pulling the pan out of the appliance during use, for a short amount of time, will not effect the process.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

This appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have supervision.
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 supervised.
Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local main voltage before you connect the appliance.
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.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or if the appliance has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, nor let it touch hot surfaces.
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
Do not plug in the appliance or operate the control panel with wet hands.
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 remove the plug from wall outlet.
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.
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.
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.
Do not leave the appliance unattended when plugged in.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
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.
After using the appliance, avoid contact with the hot metal inside. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.
Immediately unplug the appliance if you see dark smoke coming from the appliance. Wait for the smoke emission to stop before you remove the basket from the appliance.
Do not use outdoors.
For household use only.

CORD AND PLUG SAFETY

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance; and
- The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

ELECTRICAL POLARIZED PLUG
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.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove all packaging stickers and labels from the air fryer, including the tape securing the basket to the unit.
To pull out the basket for cleaning, remove the tape securing it into place. Secure the unit with one hand and pull the handle straight back with the other hand.
Thoroughly clean the basket and crisper tray with hot water, dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge.
Wipe the inside chamber 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 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.
Do not fill the basket with oil, frying fat, or any other liquid – this appliance works by circulating hot air.
When spraying food for a crispier finish, we recommend using regular cooking oil instead of cooking spray, as this may damage the nonstick coating.

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.
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 temperature.
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 9).
When cooking multiple batches in a row, only preheat before the first batch.
Turning or tossing food halfway through cook time will deliver evenly browned and crispy results (see TURN REMINDER on page 9).
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 basket to bake a cake or quiche or to air fry fragile or filled ingredients.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
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 or crisper tray, as this may damage the nonstick coating.

Clean the air fryer after every use.
Unplug the air fryer from the outlet before cleaning.
Let the air fryer cool down completely before cleaning. Remove the basket from the air fryer to cool it down quicker.
Clean the basket and crisper tray in the dishwasher’s top rack only or with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge.
If residue is stuck to the bottom of the basket, fill it with hot water and dish soap and let it soak.
Wipe the outside of the air fryer with a moist cloth.
Clean the inside of the air fryer with hot water, dish soap and a cleaning brush to remove any food residue.
Ensure the air fryer is completely dry before using.

STORAGE

TROUBLESHOOTING

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.
	The timer has not been set.	Tap + and – 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* does not fit inside the air fryer.	The *basket* is overfilled.	Do not fill the *basket* beyond max line.
The ingredients did not cook.	There are too many ingredients in the *basket*.	Put smaller batches of ingredients in the *basket*. 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.	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 on page 9).
Fried snacks are not crispy.	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.
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. White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the *basket. Make sure you clean the basket* properly after each use.
White smoke comes out of the air fryer.	The *basket* still contains grease residue from previous use.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly.	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.
Fresh fries are not crispy.	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.

To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse cords, plugs, or coffee makers in water or other liquid.
This appliance is not intended for use by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. 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. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
Never leave the appliance unattended when in use.

CORD AND PLUG SAFETY

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance; and
b. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

ELECTRICAL POLARIZED PLUG

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 in 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 plugin anyway.

Power:

120V 60HZ 700W
