Usage Features:
The Gourmia GTF7660 is designed with several features to enhance usability and cooking performance:
- French Door Design: The dual doors open independently, providing a wide opening for easy insertion and removal of food, especially larger items. This design also helps to minimize heat loss when checking on food.
- Digital Display and Control Panel: The clear digital display shows the current temperature/shade and cook time. The control panel features dedicated buttons for each preset, along with intuitive "+" and "-" controls for adjusting temperature/shade and time.
- Temperature and Time Controls: Users can precisely set the cooking temperature (ranging from 90°F to 450°F, depending on the preset) and time (from minutes to hours) to achieve desired results. For toast and bagel presets, a shade control allows for customization of browning levels.
- Preheat Functionality: Many presets include a preheat phase, indicated by "PrE" on the display, ensuring the oven reaches the optimal cooking temperature before food is added. Once preheated, the oven beeps and displays "Add Food."
- Rack Positions: The oven features multiple rack positions (1 through 6), allowing for flexible placement of accessories to accommodate different food sizes and cooking methods. The manual provides recommended rack positions for each preset.
- Accessories: The oven comes with essential accessories to support its various functions:
- Air Fry Basket: Ideal for air frying, allowing hot air to circulate completely around food for even crisping.
- Oven Rack: A standard rack for baking, roasting, and supporting other accessories.
- Baking Pan: Suitable for baking, roasting, and catching drips when air frying greasy foods.
- Crumb Tray: Placed at the bottom of the oven to collect crumbs and drips, making cleanup easier. It's crucial to always keep the crumb tray in place during cooking.
- Fan Control: The fan operates automatically for air frying and convection bake presets, ensuring even heat distribution. For other presets like Bake, Roast, and Broil, the fan is typically off, but the convection bake option provides fan-assisted cooking when desired.
- Pause and Cancel Functions: The "STOP / CANCEL" button allows users to pause cooking to check or flip food, and then resume with "START." Pressing "STOP / CANCEL" twice will completely cancel the cooking cycle.
- Temperature Unit Toggle: The oven allows users to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius by pressing and holding the "KEEP WARM" button, catering to different preferences.
- Popcorn Preset Specifics: The popcorn preset has a unique setup, requiring users to place unpopped kernels in the baking pan, then invert the air fry basket on top of the baking pan. This ensures proper popping and containment of the popcorn.
