IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow basic safety precautions when using your air fryer. Read all instructions.

Key Safety Points

Do not touch hot surfaces. To open, use handle and a heat-resistant glove or oven mitt to avoid touching the front of the outer basket. Do not use a potholder.

Only press the basket release button with the baskets resting ﬂat 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.

Do not block any ventilation openings. Hot steam is released through air outlets. Keep your hands and face clear of openings.

General Safety

• Do not immerse the air fryer housing or plug

in water or liquid.

• 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 18).

• Do not use third-party replacement parts or

accessories, as this may cause injuries.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not place 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.

• To disconnect the air fryer, turn o, then

remove plug from wall outlet.

• 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.

• 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, tablecloths, etc). Use on a ﬂat, stable, heat-

resistant 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.

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 2).

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.

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.

•

An air fryer is not a deep fryer. Do not ﬁll the pan with oil, frying fat, or any liquid.

Shaking Food

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 heat-resistant surface. Do not press the basket release button. [

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.

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.

• When you take the baskets out, the air

fryer will pause cooking automatically.

As a safety feature, the display will turn

o until baskets are replaced.

Figure 3.1

]

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.

• Use the alarm function to remind

yourself to shake or ﬂip the food.

• The alarm will alert you with 5 beeps,

and will blink on the display.

• If you do not remove the baskets, the

alarm will beep again after 1 minute and

will continually blink.

• will stop blinking and go away once

you take out the baskets.

• When you replace the baskets, cooking

will automatically resume.

• Avoid shaking longer than 30 seconds,

as the air fryer may start to cool down.

Figure 3.1

Cooking Guide

Over-Filling

• If the basket is overﬁlled, food will cook

unevenly. [

• 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

] Do

French Fries

• Add ½ to 1 tablespoon oil for crispiness.

• When making fries from raw potatoes,

soak uncooked fries in water for 15

minutes to remove starch prior to

air 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.

Figure 3.3

Using Oil

• Adding a small amount of oil to your

food will make it crispier. Use no more

than 2 tablespoons of oil.

• Oil sprays are excellent for applying

small amounts of oil evenly to all food

items.

• 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 Reference Guide.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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 fried correctly.

Baskets will not slide into the air fryer securely.

White smoke is coming out of the air fryer.

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 during cooking (see Shaking Food, page 12).

Spraying or brushing a small amount of oil on foods can increase crispiness (see Cooking Guide, page 13).

See French Fries, page 13.

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 pan is properly cleaned 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.

Dark smoke is coming out of the air fryer.

Display shows Error Code “E1”.

Display shows Error Code “E2”.

Immediately unplug your air fryer. Food is burning. Wait

for smoke to clear before pulling the baskets out.
