IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

Key Safety Points

Do not touch hot surfaces.
Use handle.

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 openings. 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 23).

• 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.

• Immediately turn o and unplug your air fryer if
you see dark smoke coming out. White smoke is
normal, caused by heating fat or food splashing,
but dark smoke means that food is burning or
there is a circuit problem. Wait for smoke to clear
before pulling the baskets out. If the cause was
not burnt food, contact Customer Support
(page 23).

• 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 fryer should only be used with 120V,
60Hz electrical systems. Do not plug into
another type of outlet.

240V

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, tablecloths, etc). Use on a flat,
stable, heat-resistant surface away from heat
sources or liquids.

Note: This air 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).

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.
