READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow basic safety precautions when using the 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

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the air fryer cord, plug, or housing in water or other liquids.
• Close supervision is necessary when the air fryer is used by or near children.
• Unplug when not in use, and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off 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)
• Using accessory attachments not recommended by Cosori 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 off 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.
• Do not use the air fryer for any purpose other than its intended use.
• This air fryer is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the air fryer by a person responsible for their safety.
• 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-heat­resistant 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.

• Immediately turn off 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 18).

• Do not leave your air fryer unattended while in use.

Power & Cord 

• Your air 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.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Arovast Corporation or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid an electric or fire hazard. Please contact Customer Support (page 18)
• Your air fryer should only be used with 120V, 60Hz electrical systems. Do not plug into another type of outlet.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.  Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.  If a longer extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

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 air 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 available today.

Shaking Food

How to Shake
During cooking, take the baskets out of the air fryer and shake, mix, or flip the food.

1. To shake food:

2. Hold the baskets just above a heatresistant surface for safety purposes.

3. Do not press the basket release button. [Figure 2.3]

4. Shake the baskets. If the baskets are too heavy to shake:

5. Place the baskets on a heat- resistant holder or surface.

6. Separate the baskets. Make sure no liquids are dripping from the inner basket.

7. Carefully shake the inner basket.
   Note : Do not use this method if there is a risk of hot liquids splashing.

8. If the baskets are too heavy to shake and there are hot liquids present:

9. Place the baskets on a heat-resistant holder or surface.

10. 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.

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.

What to Shake
Shake or flip food once halfway through cooking, or more if desired.

Cooking Guide

Overfilling

• If the basket is overfilled, food will not cook evenly. [Figure 2.4]
• Food should not be filled over the “MAX” line of the inner basket. [Figure 2.5] Do not pack in food.

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.

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.

French Fries

• 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- by 3-inch / 0.6- by 7.6-cm strips.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Note:

• Always clean the air fryer baskets and interior after every use.
• Lining the outer basket with foil may make cleanup easier.

1. Turn off and unplug the air fryer. Allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Pun 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.

4. For stubborn grease:

5. In a small bowl, mix ½ US cup / 118 mLof baking soda and a few tablespoons of water (1 US tbsp/ 15 mL) to form a spreadable paste.

6. Use a sponge to spread the paste on the baskets and scrub. Let the baskets sit for 15 minutes before rinsing.

7. Wash baskets with soap and water before using.

8. Clean the inside of the air fryer with a slightly moist, non-abrasive sponge or cloth. [Figure 3.1] Do not immerse in water. If needed, clean the heating coil to remove food debris.
