Follow basic safety precautions when using your air fryer. Read all instructions.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Only press the basket release button with
the baskets resting flat on 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 touch hot surfaces.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Hot
steam is released through openings. Keep
your hands and face clear of openings.
Key Safety Points
5
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.
General Safety
While Air Frying
Plug and Cord
• 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 15).
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
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).
• 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, 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.

BEFORE FIRST USE (CONT.)
USING YOUR AIR FRYER
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 at least
180°F / 80°C to set the temperature.
• 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.
Basket Tips
Note:
•
Do not unscrew the basket handle from the
baskets.
•
To order accessories, please contact
Customer Support (see page 15).
3. Turn the timer dial past the 10 minute
mark until the power indicator turns
on. Then turn it back to 5 minutes to
begin preheating. The power indicator
and temperature indicator will turn on,
indicating the air fryer is heating up.
4. Once the temperature indicator
turns o, the air fryer has finished
preheating.
• 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:
If a plastic smell is still present, please
contact Customer Support (see page 15).
8. Heat the empty air fryer at 400°F for 5
minutes. Pull out the baskets and let
them cool for 5 minutes.
9. Heat the empty air fryer a second time
at 400°F for 5 minutes. Pull out the
baskets. This time, let the baskets cool
for 30 minutes.

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.
Note:
•
If you need to set the time for less than 10
minutes, first turn the timer dial past 10
minutes. Then 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.
Note:
To shut o the air fryer manually, turn the
timer dial counterclockwise to 0.
Figure 2.1
1. Preheat your air fryer (see page 8).
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.
5. The air fryer will chime when finished.
6. Take the baskets out of the air fryer,
being careful of hot steam.
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.
The air fryer will automatically shut o
when the timer is complete.

• 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.
When to Shake
Figure 3.1
Shaking Food
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. [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.
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.
How to Shake
Note:
Do not use this method if there is a risk of
hot liquids splashing.
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.
11
Cooking Guide
• If the basket is overfilled, food will not
cook evenly. [
Figure 3.2
]
• Food should not be filled over the “MAX”
line of the inner basket. [
Figure 3.3
] Do
not pack in food.
• 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.
Over-Filling
• 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.
French Fries
Using Oil
Figure 3.2
Figure 3.3
Do not overfill
• 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.

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

If your problem is not listed, please contact Customer Support (see page 15).
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Possible Solution
The air fryer will not turn
on.
Make sure the air fryer is plugged in.
Push the baskets securely into the air fryer.
Foods are not completely
cooked.
Place smaller batches of ingredients into the inner basket.
If the basket is overstued, then ingredients will be
undercooked.
Increase cooking temperature or time.
Foods are cooked
unevenly.
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).
Foods are not crispy after
air frying.
Spraying or brushing a small amount of oil on foods can
increase crispiness (see Cooking Guide, page 11).
French fries are not
cooked correctly.
See French Fries, page 11.
Baskets will not slide into
the air fryer securely.
Make sure the basket is not overfilled with food.
Make sure the inner basket is securely inside the outer basket.
White smoke is coming
out of the air fryer.
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
aect cooking. Handle baskets with care.
Dark smoke is coming out
of the air fryer.
Immediately unplug your air fryer. Food is burning. Wait for
smoke to clear before pulling the baskets out.
The air fryer has a plastic
smell.
Any air fryer may have a plastic smell from the manufacturing
process. This is normal. Follow the instructions on page 7
to get rid of the plastic smell. If a plastic smell is still present,
please contact Customer Support (see page 15).
