IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow basic safety precautions when using your air fryer. Read all instructions.
Key Safety Points
Do not touch hot surfaces.
Only press the basket release button with
the baskets resting flat on any level, heat­resistant surface.
The handle is attached to the inner basket, not the outer basket. When you press the basket release button, the outer basket will drop.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Hot steam is released through openings. Keep your hands and face clear of openings.
General Safety
Do not immerse the air fryer housing or plug in
water or liquids.
• Closely supervise children near your air fryer.
• Unplug when not in use, and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking o parts.
Do not use your air fryer if it is damaged, not working, or if the cord or plug is damaged. Contact Customer Support (see page 16).
Do not use third-party replacement parts or accessories, as this may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not place the air fryer or any of its parts on a stove, near gas or electric burners, or in a heated oven.
• Be extremely cautious when moving your air fryer (or removing the baskets) if it contains hot oil or other hot liquids.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Metal fragments can break o the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
Do not place anything on top of your air fryer. Do not store anything inside your air fryer.
Only use your air fryer as directed in this manual.
• Not for commercial use. Household use only.
While Air Frying
• An air fryer works with hot air only. Never fill the baskets with oil or fat.
Never use your air fryer without the baskets in place.
Do not place oversized foods or metal utensils into your air fryer.
Do not place paper, cardboard, non-heat-resistant plastic, or similar materials, into your air fryer. You may use parchment paper or foil.
Never put baking or parchment paper into the air fryer without food on top. Air circulation can cause paper to lift and touch heating coils.
Always use heat-safe containers. Be extremely cautious if using containers that aren’t metal or glass.
• Keep your air fryer away from flammable materials (curtains, tablecloth, etc). Use on a flat, stable, heat­resistant surface away from heat sources or liquids.
• Immediately turn o and unplug your air fryer if you see dark smoke coming out. Food is burning. Wait for smoke to clear before pulling the baskets out.
Do not leave your air fryer unattended while in use.
Plug and Cord
• Your fryer has a polarized plug (one prong is
wider than the other), which fits into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, do not use
the plug in that outlet. Do not alter the plug in
any way.
Do not let the power cord (or any extension cord)
hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
• Your air fryer should only be used with 120V, 60Hz
electrical systems. Do not plug into another type
of outlet.
240V
Note: This fryer uses a short power-supply cord to reduce the risk of entangling or tripping. Use extension cords with care. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be as great as the rating of the fryer (see page 3).
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
The Cosori Air Fryer complies with all standards
regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). If handled
properly and according to the instructions in this
user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on
scientific evidence currently available.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR AIR FRYER

BEFORE FIRST USE

Your Cosori Air Fryer uses rapid 360° air circulation
technology to cook with little-to-no oil, for quick, crispy,
delicious food with up to 85% fewer calories than deep
fryers. With simple dials, nonstick baskets, and an intuitive,
safe design, the Cosori Air Fryer is the star of your kitchen.
Note:
Do not try to open the top of the air fryer. It is not a lid.
The baskets are made of aluminum metal with nonstick coating. They are PFOA-free and BPA-free.

BEFORE FIRST USE (CONT.)

USING YOUR AIR FRYER

Test Run

A test run will help you become familiar with your air fryer, make sure it’s working correctly, and clean it of possible residues in the process.
1. Make sure the air fryer baskets are
empty and plug in the air fryer.
2. Turn the temperature dial to 400°F /
205°C.
3. Turn the timer dial past the 10 minute
mark until the power indicator turns on. The power indicator and temperature indicator will turn on, indicating the air fryer is heating up. Then, turn it back to 5 minutes to begin preheating.
4. When the air fryer has finished
preheating, the temperature indicator will turn o.
5. Pull out the baskets and let them cool
for 5 minutes. Then, place the empty baskets back in the air fryer.
6. Make sure the temperature dial is set to
400°F / 205°C.
7. Turn the timer dial past the 10 minute
mark until the power indicator turns on. Then, turn it back to 5 minutes. The air fryer will start automatically.

Basket Tips

• Separate baskets only to clean or after
cooking.
• The button guard protects the basket release button from being pressed accidentally. Slide the button guard forward to press the basket release button.
Never press the basket release button while carrying the baskets.
Only press the basket release button with the baskets resting on a counter (or any level, heat-resistant surface).
• The handle is attached to the inner basket, not the outer basket. When you press the basket release button, the outer basket will drop.
Note:
Do not unscrew the basket handle from the baskets.
To order accessories, please contact
Customer Support (see page 16).

Preheating

We recommend preheating for 5 minutes before placing food inside the air fryer, unless your air fryer is already hot. Food will not cook thoroughly without preheating.
1. Plug in.
2. Turn the temperature dial to at least
180°F / 80°C.
3. Turn the timer dial past the 10 minute
mark until the power indicator turns on. The power indicator and temperature indicator will turn on, indicating the air fryer is heating up. Then, turn it back to 5 minutes to begin preheating.
4. Once the temperature indicator turns
o, the air fryer has finished preheating.

Air Frying

Note:
Do not place anything on top of your air fryer. This disrupts airflow and causes poor air frying results. [Figure 2.1]
An air fryer is not a deep fryer. Do not fill the baskets with oil, frying fat, or any liquid.
When taking the baskets out of the air fryer, be careful of hot steam, and do not press the basket release button.
1. Preheat your air fryer (see page 9).
2. When the temperature light turns o,
add food to the baskets.
3. Turn the temperature dial to set the
temperature.
4. Turn the timer dial to set the time. The
air fryer will start automatically.
Note:
If you need to set the time for less than 10 minutes, first turn the timer dial past 10 minutes. Then turn to the desired time.
Shake food halfway through cooking to make sure your food cooks evenly.
The timer will continue counting down even if the baskets are taken out.
You may adjust the time and temperature anytime during cooking.
8. The air fryer will chime when finished.
Pull out the baskets and let them cool completely for 10–30 minutes.
Figure 2.1
5. The air fryer will chime when finished.
6. Take the baskets out of the air fryer,
being careful of hot steam.

Shaking Food

Cooking Guide

7. Remove inner basket from outer basket
to serve food. When separating baskets:
a. Make sure the baskets are resting
on a flat surface.
b. Watch for hot oil or fat collected
in the outer basket. [Figure 2.2] To avoid splashing, drain oil before replacing inner basket.
8. Allow to cool before cleaning.
Automatic Shutoff
The air fryer will automatically shut o
when the timer is complete.
Note:
To shut o the air fryer manually, turn the
timer dial counterclockwise to 0.
How to Shake
During cooking, take the baskets out of the
air fryer and shake, mix, or flip the food.
a. To shake food:
1. For safety purposes, hold the
baskets just above a heat­resistant surface. Do not press the basket release button. [Figure 3.1]
2. Shake the baskets.
b. If the baskets are too heavy to
shake:
1. Place the baskets on a heat-
resistant holder or surface.
2. Separate the baskets. Make sure
no liquids are dripping from the inner basket.
3. Carefully shake the inner
basket.
Note:
Do not use this method if there is a risk of
hot liquids splashing.
What to Shake
• Small foods that are stacked will usually
need shaking, such as fries or nuggets.
• Without shaking, foods may not be
crispy or evenly cooked.
• You can flip other foods, such as steak,
to ensure even browning.
When to Shake
• Shake or flip food once halfway through
cooking, or more if desired.
Over-Filling
• If the basket is overfilled, food will not
cook evenly. [
• Food should not be filled over the “MAX
line of the inner basket. [
not pack in food.
Figure 3.2
Do not overfill
Figure 3.2
]
Figure 3.3

Figure 2.2
Figure 3.1
c. If the baskets are too heavy to
shake and there are hot liquids
present:
1. Place the baskets on a heat-
resistant holder or surface.
2. Use tongs to mix or flip the
food.
Note:
When you take the baskets out, the air fryer will pause heating.
When you replace the baskets, heating will automatically resume.
Avoid shaking longer than 30 seconds, as the air fryer may start to cool down.
The timer will continue counting down even when the baskets are taken out.
Figure 3.3
Using Oil
• Adding a small amount of oil to your
food will make it crispier. Use no more
than 2 US tbsp / 30 mL of oil.
• Oil sprays are excellent for applying
small amounts of oil evenly to all food
items.
1110
Cooking Guide (cont.)
French Fries

CARE & MAINTENANCE

• Add ½–1 US tbsp / 8–15 mL of oil for
crispiness.
• When making fries from raw potatoes,
soak uncooked fries in water for 15
minutes to remove starch prior to frying.
Pat dry with a towel before adding oil.
• Cut uncooked fries smaller for crispier
results. Try cutting fries into ¼-inch by
3-inch / 0.6-cm by 7.6-cm strips.
Food Tips
• You can air fry any frozen foods or
goods that can be baked in an oven.
• To make cakes, hand pies, or any food
with filling or batter, place food in a
heat-safe container before placing in the
baskets.
• Air frying high-fat foods will cause fat
to drip to the bottom of the baskets. To
avoid excess smoke while cooking, pour
out fat drippings after cooking.
• Liquid-marinated foods create splatter
and excess smoke. Pat these foods dry
before air frying.
Note:
For more from the Cosori Kitchen, check
out our Recipe Book and Tips from the Chef.
Note:
Always clean the air fryer baskets and
interior after every use.
Lining the outer basket with foil may make cleanup easier.
1. Turn o and unplug the air fryer. Allow
it to cool completely before cleaning.
Pull out the baskets for faster cooling.
2. Wipe the outside of the air fryer with a
moist cloth, if necessary.
3. The baskets are dishwasher safe.
You can also wash the baskets with
hot, soapy water and a non-abrasive
sponge. Soak if necessary.
Note: Baskets have a non-stick coating. Avoid metal utensils and abrasive cleaning materials.
4. For stubborn grease:
a. In a small bowl, mix ½ cup /
118 mL of baking soda and a few tablespoons of water (1 US tbsp = 15 mL) to form a spreadable paste.
b. Use a sponge to spread the paste
on the baskets and scrub. Let the baskets sit for 15 minutes before rinsing.
c. Wash baskets with soap and water
before using.
5. Clean the inside of the air fryer with a
slightly moist, non-abrasive sponge or
cloth. Do not immerse in water.

TROUBLESHOOTING

WARRANTY INFORMATION

Problem Possible Solution
The air fryer will not
turn on.
Foods are not
completely cooked.
Foods are cooked
unevenly.
Foods are not crispy
after air frying.
French fries are not
cooked correctly.
Baskets will not slide
into the air fryer
securely.
White smoke is coming
out of the air fryer.
Dark smoke is coming
out of the air fryer.
The air fryer has a
plastic smell.
Make sure the air fryer is plugged in.
Push the baskets securely into the air fryer.
Place smaller batches of ingredients into the inner basket. If the basket is overstued, then ingredients will be undercooked.
Increase cooking temperature or time.
Ingredients that are stacked on top of each other or close to each other need to be shaken or flipped during cooking (see
Shaking Food, page 10).
Spraying or brushing a small amount of oil on foods can
increase crispiness (see Cooking Guide, page 11).
See French Fries, page 12.
Make sure the basket is not overfilled with food.
Make sure the inner basket is securely inside the outer basket.
The air fryer may produce some white smoke when you use it
for the first time. This is normal.
Make sure the baskets and the inside of the air fryer are cleaned properly and not greasy.
Cooking greasy foods will cause oil to leak into the outer basket. This oil will produce white smoke, and the baskets may be hotter than usual. This is normal, and should not aect cooking. Handle baskets with care.
Immediately unplug your air fryer. Food is burning. Wait for
smoke to clear before pulling the baskets out.
Any air fryer may have a plastic smell from the manufacturing process. This is normal. Follow the instructions for a Test Run (page 8) to get rid of the plastic smell. If a plastic smell is still present, please contact Customer Support (see page 16).
