General Safety
While Air Frying
• To protect against electric shock,
donot immerse the air fryer
housing, cord, or plug in water or
other 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. Any other
servicing should be performed by
an authorized service representative.
Contact Customer Support (see
page 25).
• 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
basket) if it contains hot oil or other
hot liquids.
• Always place the crisper plate
on a heat-resistant surface after
removing it from the basket.
• 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 any
materials, other than manufacturers
recommended accessories, in this
air fryer when not in use.
• Only use your air fryer as directed in
this manual.
• This air fryer is not to be used
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
appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
• An air fryer works with hot air only.
Never fill the basket with oil or fat.
• Never use your air fryer without the
basket in place.
• Do not place oversized foods or
metal utensils into your air fryer.
• Do not touch the basket or crisper
plate during or immediately after air
frying.
• 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 basket
out. If the cause was not burnt
food, contact Customer Support
(page25).
• Do not allow children to clean or
perform maintenance on the air
fryer unless they are supervised.
• Not for commercial use. Household
use only.
• Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
• The appliance is not intended to be
operated by means of an external
timer or separate remote-control
system.

Power & Cord
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
Extension Cords
• A short power-supply cord is
provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
• Do not let the power cord (or any
extension cord) hang over the edge
of a table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
• Remove and discard the plug’s
protective cover to prevent a
choking hazard.
• Keep the air fryer and its cord out of
reach of children.
• Never use an outlet below the
counter when plugging in your air
fryer.
• 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.
• Your air fryer should only be used
with 120V, 60Hz electrical systems.
Do not plug into another type of
outlet.
• Longer extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised
in their use. If a longer extension
cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of
the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical
rating of the air fryer.
• 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.
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.

• 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 basket.
• Air frying high-fat foods will cause fat
to drip to the bottom of the basket. 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.
Note: For more from the COSORI Kitchen, check
out our Recipe Book and Tips from the Chef.
Food Tips
• Add ½–1 US tbsp / 8–15 mL 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.
French Fries
Cooking Guide
• If the basket is overfilled, food will
cook unevenly.
• 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Possible Solution
The air fryer will not turn
on.
Make sure the air fryer is plugged in.
Push the basket securely into the air fryer.
Food is not completely
cooked.
Place smaller batches of food items into the basket. If the
basket is overstued, then foods will be undercooked.
Increase cooking temperature or time.
Food is 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 15).
Food is not crispy after air
frying.
Spraying or brushing a small amount of oil on foods can
increase crispiness (see Cooking Guide, page 16).
French fries are not cooked
correctly. See French Fries, page 16.
Basket will not slide into the
air fryer securely.
Make sure the basket is not overfilled with food.
Make sure the crisper plate is securely inside the
basket.
Basket window is dirty or
foggy.
Wash the basket in the dishwasher. Make sure it is dried
thoroughly.
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 (see page 25).

20
Problem Possible Solution
White smoke or steam is
coming out of the air fryer.
The air fryer may produce some white smoke or steam
when you use it for the first time or during cooking. This
is normal.
Make sure the basket and the inside of the air fryer are
cleaned properly and not greasy.
Cooking greasy foods will cause oil to collect beneath
the crisper plate. This oil will produce white smoke, and
the basket may be hotter than usual. This is normal, and
should not aect cooking. Handle basket with care.
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 10) to get rid of
the plastic smell. If a plastic smell is still present, please
contact Customer Support (see page 25).
