Gourmia GAF616 User manual

  • Hello! I have reviewed the user manual for the Gourmia GAF616 Air Fryer. This manual provides instructions for setting up and cooking with the air fryer using the digital controls. It also explains how to use the preset functions, preheat, turn reminder, and other key features. I'm ready to assist you with any questions you have about using your new air fryer.
  • What is the purpose of the preheat function?
    How do I silence the air fryer’s beeping sound?
    What should I do if I see smoke coming from the air fryer?
