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 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 off pans.
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 22).
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.
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.
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 flyer 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 flyer away from flammable materials (curtains, tablecloth, etc). Use on a flat stable, heat-resistant surface away from heat sources or liquids.
Immediately turn oft and unplug your au 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 flyer 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 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.

Air Frying

Note:

Before first use - Figure 3.1 Figure 3.1

Do not place anything on top of your air fryer. This disrupts airflow and causes poor air frying results. [Figure 3.1]
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.
