IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Key Safety Points
READ AND SAVE THESE 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
• To protect against electric shock, do not
immerse the air fryer cord, plug, or housing in
water or other liquids.
• Close supervision is necessary when the air
fryer is used by or near children.
• 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 has a damaged
cord or plug, if it malfunctions, or if it has
been damaged in any way. Contact Customer
Support (see page 25).
• Using accessory attachments not
recommended by Cosori 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 use the air fryer for any purpose other
than its intended use.
• 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.
• Not for commercial use. Household use only.

5
While Air Frying
Power & Cord
Extension Cords
• An air fryer works with hot air only. Never fill
the baskets with oil or fat.
• CAUTION: To avoid risk of electric shock, cook
only in the removable baskets.
• 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.
• To avoid risk of fire, do not cover or allow the
air fryer to touch flammable materials (curtains,
draperies, walls, etc.) when it is turned on.
• Do not store items on top of the air fryer when it
is turned on.
• Do not store any materials other than Cosori’s
recommended accessories in the air fryer when
not in use.
• Use on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface away
from heat sources or liquids.
• To turn the air fryer o, press once. The
air fryer will beep, will turn blue, and other
buttons will turn o.
• 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 (see page 25).
• Do not leave your air fryer unattended while in
use.
• 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.
• Do not let the power cord (or any extension
cord) hang over the edge of a table or counter,
or touch hot surfaces.
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
The Cosori Smart 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.
220-240V120V, 60Hz
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risk resulting from becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If a longer extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the
cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance.
b. 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.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by Arovast Corporation or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid an electric or
fire hazard. Please contact Customer Support
(page 25).
• Your air fryer should only be used with 120V,
60Hz electrical systems. Do not plug into
another type of outlet.

Basket Tips
• Only separate the baskets to clean or
after cooking.
• The button guard protects the release
button from being pressed accidentally.
Slide the button guard forward to press
the basket release button. [ Figure 2.2 ]
• Never press the 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. [ Figure 2.3 ]
When you press the 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 25).
Rubber Stopper
• The inner basket contains a rubber
stopper made of safe, FDA-approved
material. This stopper prevents the
inner basket from directly touching
the outer basket and, in rare cases,
damaging the non-stick coating on
the baskets.
• The stopper can safely be removed
based on user preference. For easy
removal, start from the bottom of the
inner basket and pull out one side of the
stopper at a time. [ Figure 2.4 ]
• If you want to place the rubber stopper
back in the inner basket, first soak it
in water. [ Figure 2.5 ] Then push the
stopper back in through the bottom
of the basket. Push in one side of the
stopper at a time.

fryer. This will disrupt airflow and cause
poor air frying results. [ Figure 3.2 ]
• 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.
Figure 3.2
Note:
Note: You can use multiple presets in one cooking
session using the VeSync app.
Using a preset is the easiest way to air fry.

16
Shaking Food
• During cooking, take the baskets out of
the air fryer and shake, mix, or flip the
food.
A. To shake food:
1. Hold the baskets just above a
heat-resistant surface for safety
purposes. Do not press the basket
release button.
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.
• Small foods that are stacked, such
as fries or nuggets, will usually need
shaking.
• Without shaking, food may not be crispy
or evenly cooked.
• You can flip other food, such as steak, to
ensure even browning.
How to Shake What to Shake
• The Shake Reminder will alert you with
5 beeps, and “((SHAKE))” will blink on
the display.
• If you do not remove the baskets, the
Shake Reminder will beep again after
1 minute and the display will show a
solid “((SHAKE))”.
• The Shake Reminder will go away once
you take out the baskets.
Shake Reminder
• Shake or flip food once halfway through
cooking, or more if desired.
• The Shake Reminder is designed to
remind you to check on your food. Tap
SHAKE to turn on the Shake Reminder.
Certain presets use the Shake Reminder
automatically (see Preset Settings,
13).
• The Shake Reminder will appear halfway
through cooking time. This can be
changed using the VeSync app.
When to Shake
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.
• When you take the baskets out, the air
fryer will pause cooking automatically. As
a safety feature, the display will turn o
until the baskets are replaced.
• When you replace the baskets, cooking
will automatically resume.
• Avoid shaking longer than 30 seconds, as
the air fryer may start to cool down.
Note: Do not use this method if there is a risk of hot
liquids splashing.

17
• 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 it 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.
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. 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 baskets are overfilled, food will
cook unevenly.
• Baskets should not be filled over
the “MAX” line in the inner basket.
[ Figure 3.4 ] 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.
