This appliance is NOT INTENDED FOR USE by children. Make sure that the appliance is out of reach of children, especially when it is operating.
  17. Keep all the ingredients within the basket to prevent any contact with the heating elements. DO NOT OVERFILL the basket.
  18. DO NOT fill the basket with oil. Filling the basket with oil is a fire hazard.
  19. DO NOT COVER OR BLOCK the air inlet and outlet while the appliance is in operation. Doing so prevents even cooking and may damage the unit or cause it to overheat.
  20. DO NOT touch the inside of the appliance while it is operating.
  21. While air frying, hot air is released through the air outlet openings. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the steam and from the air outlet opening. BE CAUTIOUS of hot steam and air when you remove the basket from the appliance. Any accessible surface may become hot during use.

  26. ALWAYS unplug the appliance after use.
  27. ALWAYS wait 30 minutes for the appliance to cool down before handling, cleaning, or storing.
  28. The base of the GoWISE USA Air Fryer vents heat during the cooking process. Artificial stone countertops are not heat-resistant. It is the end user’s responsibility to verify the heat capacity of their countertops. We recommend using a silicone pad or spare, non-artificial tile to protect your counters from heat damage. The care and use of countertops is the responsibility of the end user.
  29. Over time, wear and tear is normal for the basket and crisper tray and will need to be replaced from time to time. Please contact GoWISE Customer Care or visit our website gowiseproducts.com to purchase these parts.

  5. Your new GoWISE USA Air Fryer is now ready for use!setup 1

NOTE: DO NOT fill basket with oil or lard. The appliance uses rapid air circulation to fry.

USING YOUR AIR FRYER
  1. Place the air fryer on a flat and even surface. DO NOT PLACE THE AIR FRYER ON A SURFACE THAT IS NOT HEAT RESISTANT. DO NOT PLACE THE AIR FRYER ON STOVE TOP SURFACES.
  2. Grab the handle in the middle of the crisper tray and place it in the fry basket. DO NOT FILL THE BASKET WITH OIL OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

    NOTE: By default, your air fryer will be set to cook at 370°F for 15 minutes when you first slide the basket into the unit. You can adjust the time or temperature from this default screen as well without selecting a cooking function.
  6. Once you have set the time and temperature and selected a cooking function (optional), press the button again to start the cooking cycle. The and icons will illuminate to indicate that the air fryer is heating and the fan is circulating.
  7. If you would like to make changes at any point throughout the cooking cycle, such as adding more time, increasing temperature, or changing to a new function, press the button. The fan will continue circulating, but the heating element will shut off as indicated by the and icons. Make your adjustments and tap the button again to resume.

The icon will remain illuminated as it continues to run and cool down the air fryer. The fan will stop shortly after the timer beeps again (approximately 20 seconds).
    NOTE: If the Keep Warm function had been selected, the unit will beep once and switch over to the default Keep Warm settings (150°F for 30 minutes) after the first cooking cycle has completed.
  11. If you need to turn the unit off before the end of the cooking cycle, hold down the button for 3 seconds. The display will read OFF and the fan may continue to run up to 20 seconds.
  12. Slide the basket out of the fryer and place it on a pot holder. NOTE: Oil from the ingredients will gather in the bottom of the basket. Be careful when sliding the basket out of the fryer.
  13. To remove the ingredients, use silicone tipped tongs, or carefully pour ingredients out of the fry basket onto a plate.
  14. If using tongs or any other cooking utensils, make sure to use non-abrasive, non-metal tongs to avoid scratching the ceramic coating on the fry basket and the crisper tray.

NOTES:

  • Please keep in mind that because ingredients differ in size, shape, brand, and origin, we cannot guarantee that this is the best setting for the ingredients you have.
  • Rapid Air Technology reheats the air inside the fryer instantly. Therefore, removing the basket of the air fryer for a brief period of time will not interrupt the cooking process.

TIPS

  • Small ingredients usually require shorter cooking times compared to larger ingredients.
  • Shaking smaller ingredients midway through the cooking process will ensure the ingredients cook more evenly and have a better end result.
  • Adding a very little amount of oil to fresh potatoes will give it a crispier result.
  • Do not prepare extremely oily or greasy ingredients in the air fryer.
  • Snacks that can be prepared in a traditional oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
  • The recommended amount of fries to allow for a crispy result is 8.5 oz.
  • Pre-made dough requires a shorter cooking time than home-made dough.
  • When making cupcake, quiche or ingredients with batter, use ramekins or small baking molds in the fry basket.
CLEANING YOUR AIR FRYER
  1. Clean the fryer after every use.
  2. Unplug the fryer. ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL THE FRYER HAS COOLED TO A SAFE TEMPERATURE BEFORE HANDLING.
  3. Wipe the outside of the fryer with a damp cloth.
  4. Wash the basket and crisper tray with hot water, soap and a non-abrasive sponge. You can remove any stuck-on food by using a degreasing liquid soap. For any hard-to-remove food, soak the basket and crisper tray in hot water.
  5. Clean the inside of the appliance with a lightly dampened, non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Be careful not to get the inside of the appliance too wet and never submerge in water.
  6. Scrub the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food debris.

TROUBLESHOOTING

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
 

 

 

The fryer is not turning on

The appliance is not plugged inPlug the appliance into a grounded wall socket.
You have not set the timerSet the timer using the control display to the correct time on the appliance.
The basket is not pushed into the unit 

Push the basket into the unit (see pg. 10).

 

 

Food is not cooked

The basket has been overfilled with ingredientsPlace smaller batches of ingredients in the basket. Smaller batches are fried

more evenly.

The set temperature is too lowIncrease the temperature to the required setting (see pg. 12).
 

Food is cooked unevenly

 

Ingredient positioning or overflow

Ingredients that lay on top or across from each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken midway through cooking.
 

Fried snacks are not crispy after frying

Some snacks are crispier when traditionally fried 

Cook oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result.

Basket does not slide into the fryer properly 

Overfilled basket

Do not fill the basket beyond the MAX fill indicator line.
 

 

White smoke comes out of the fryer

 

It is normal for white smoke to appear when prepping greasy ingredients

When frying 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 appliance or end food result.
The basket is still greasyClean the air fryer properly after each use.
 

 

Fresh fries are fried unevenly in the fryer

 

Potatoes are not fresh

Use fresh potatoes and place them in the freezer for 30 minutes before air frying to help them stay firm during frying.
Potato sticks have not been rinsed properly prior to fryingMake sure to rinse the potato sticks properly to remove the starch

prior to frying.

 

 

Fries are not crispy

 

Water in the fries or not enough oil

Potato sticks should be dry prior to adding oil.
Add more oil for a crispier result.
