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.

•

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

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.

7. Remove the inner basket from the 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.

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).
