Usage Features:
The Gourmia Air Fryer Oven is designed for user-friendly operation with its intuitive digital display and control panel.

The manual provides guidance on which rack position to use for each preset mode and accessory, ensuring optimal cooking results. For example, the Fry Basket is often used in the Center rack position for air frying, while the Oven Rack might be used in the Center for baking or roasting.
