Follow basic safety precautions when using your air fryer. Read all instructions.
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 touch hot surfaces.
Use handle.
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 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.
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.
• 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 15).
• Do not leave your air fryer unattended while in
use.
Plug and Cord
• 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 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 2).
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.

cook with little-to-no oil, for quick, crispy, delicious food with up
to 85% fewer calories than deep fryers. With simple dials, nonstick
baskets, and an intuitive, safe design, the Cosori Air Fryer is the
star of your kitchen.

Test Run
A test run will help you become familiar
with your air fryer, make sure it’s working
correctly, and clean it of possible residues in
the process.
1. Make sure the air fryer baskets are empty
and plug in the air fryer.
2. Turn the temperature dial to 205°C.
3. Turn the timer dial past the 10 minute
mark until the power indicator turns on.
The power indicator and temperature
indicator will turn on, indicating the air
fryer is heating up. Then, turn it back to 5
minutes to begin preheating.
4. When the air fryer has finished
preheating, the temperature indicator
will turn o.
5. Pull out the baskets and let them cool for
5 minutes. Then, place the empty baskets
back in the air fryer.
6. Make sure the temperature dial is set to
205°C.
7. Turn the timer dial past the 10 minute
mark until the power indicator turns on.
Then, turn it back to 5 minutes. The air
fryer will start automatically.
8. The air fryer will chime when finished.
Pull out the baskets and let them cool
completely for 10–30 minutes.
Basket Tips
• Only separate the baskets 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.
• 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:
• Do not unscrew the basket handle from the
baskets.
• To order accessories, please contact Customer
Support (see page 15).

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.
USING YOUR AIR FRYER
1. Plug in.
2. Turn the temperature dial to at least
80°C.
3. Turn the timer dial past the 10 minute
mark until the power indicator turns on.
The power indicator and temperature
indicator will turn on, indicating the
air fryer is heating up. Then, turn the
timer dial back to 5 minutes to begin
preheating.
4. Once the temperature indicator turns o,
the air fryer has finished preheating.
Air Frying
Note:
• Do not place anything on top of your air fryer.
This will disrupt airflow and cause 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 turn 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.
1. Preheat your air fryer (see page 9).
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.

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.
01.02_UML_HTHOHASA22DC_CO137-AF_Original3.5-LitreAirFryer.indd 1001.02_UML_HTHOHASA22DC_CO137-AF_Original3.5-LitreAirFryer.indd 10 2/26/20 10:53 AM2/26/20 10:53 AM

• 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
A. To shake food:
1. Hold the baskets just above a heat-
resistant surface for safety purposes.
Do not press the basket release
button. [Figure 2.3]
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.
Shaking Food
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.
During cooking, take the baskets out of the
air fryer and shake, mix, or flip the food.

Cooking Guide
• If the basket is overfilled, food will cook
unevenly. [ Figure 2.4 ]
• Food should not be filled over the “MAX”
line of the inner basket. [ Figure 2.5 ]
Do not pack in food.
• Adding a small amount of oil to your food
will make it crispier. Use no more than
30 mL / 2 US tbsp of oil.
• Oil sprays are excellent for applying small
amounts of oil evenly to all food items.
• 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.
• Add 8–15 mL / ½–1 US tbsp 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
0.6- by 7.6-cm / ¼- by 3-inch strips.

Note: The baskets have a nonstick coating.
Avoid using metal utensils and abrasive cleaning
materials.
Note: Make sure the heating coil is completely dry
before turning on the air fryer.
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 118 mL /
½ US cup of baking soda and a few
tablespoons of water (15 mL / 1 US
tbsp) 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.
c. Wash baskets with soap and water
before using.
Note:
• Always clean the air fryer baskets and interior
after every use.
• Lining the outer basket with foil may make
cleanup easier.

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 food items into the inner basket. If the
basket is overstued, then foods will be undercooked.
Increase cooking temperature or time.
Foods are cooked
unevenly.
Foods 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 11).
Foods are not crispy
after air frying.
Spraying or brushing a small amount of oil on foods can
increase crispiness (see Cooking Guide, page 12).
French fries are not
cooked correctly. See French Fries, page 12.
Baskets will not slide
into the air fryer
securely.
Make sure the inner 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 aect cooking.
Handle baskets with care.
Dark smoke is coming
out of the air fryer.
Immediately unplug your air fryer. 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 15).
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 for a Test Run
(page 8) to get rid of the plastic smell. If a plastic smell is still
present, please contact Customer Support (see page 15).
If your problem is not listed, please contact Customer Support (see page 15).
