IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Follow basic safety precautions when using your indoor grill.
Read all instructions.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Key Safety Points
General Safety
• Do not touch hot surfaces. To open,
use handle and a heat-resistant glove
or oven mitt to avoid touching the
surface of the grill.
• The outside of the grill, including the
lid, is hot during and after use.
• Always use heat-resistant gloves,
pads, or oven mitts when handling
hot materials, and when placing
items in or removing items from
the grill, including accessories or
containers.
• Do not block any ventilation
openings. Keep hands and face clear
of vents at all times.
• When the grill is not in use, and
before cleaning, press to turn it
o, then unplug from outlet. Allow to
cool completely before putting on or
taking o parts.
• Do not immerse the housing, cord,
or plug in water or liquid.
• Closely supervise children near the
grill.
• Do not use your grill if it is damaged,
not working, or if the cord or plug
is damaged. Contact Customer
Support (see page 32).
• Do not use third-party replacement
parts or accessories, as this may
cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not place the grill or any of its
parts on a stove, near gas or electric
burners, or inside a heated oven.
• Be extremely cautious when
removing a tray or basket if it
contains hot oil, grease, 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, as
well as damage ceramic coating on
accessories.
• Clean the drip tray after using.
Accumulated grease and crumbs can
overheat and catch fire.
• Do not store anything on top of your
grill while it is operating. Do not
store anything inside your grill other
than recommended accessories.
• Do not operate with a separate
remote-control system.
• Only use as directed in this manual.
• Not for commercial use. Household
use only.

5
• An indoor grill works with hot air
only. Never fill the drip tray with oil
or fat.
• Do not place oversized foods or
metal utensils (except for Cosori
accessories) into your grill.
• Do not place paper, cardboard, or
non-heat-resistant plastic into your
grill, or any materials which may
catch fire or melt.
• To avoid overheating, do not use
metal foil in the grill unless directed.
Use extreme caution when using
foil, and always fit foil as securely as
possible. If the foil contacts the grill’s
splatter guard or heating element,
this can cause overheating and risk
of fire.
• Never put baking or parchment
paper into the grill without food on
top. Air circulation can cause paper
to move and touch the splatter guard
or heating element.
• Always use heat-safe containers.
Be extremely cautious if using
containers that aren’t metal or glass.
• Keep your grill away from flammable
materials (curtains, tablecloths, walls,
etc.). Use on a flat, stable, heat-
resistant surface away from heat
sources or liquids.
• Immediately turn o and unplug
your grill 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 opening the lid. If the
cause was not burnt food, contact
Customer Support. (see page 32)
• Do not leave your grill unattended
while in use.
• Your grill 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.
• Your grill should only be used with
120V, 60Hz electrical systems.
Do not plug into another type of
outlet.
While Cooking Power & Cord
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
This indoor grill 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.
Note: This oven 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 oven (see page 3).
