Important Safeguards

Key Safety Points

• 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. ❌
• 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.

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 from outlet when not in use, and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off 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 23).
• 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 or near hot 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 off 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.
• Not for commercial use. Household use only.
• 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.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
• See Care & Maintenance (see Page 18) for guidelines on how to clean accessories.

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 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.

Using Your Air Fryer

Preheating

We recommend preheating before placing food inside the air fryer, unless your air fryer is already hot. Food will not cook thoroughly without preheating.

1. Plug in. Press [power] to turn on the air fryer display.
2. Press Preheat. The display will show "400°F" and "5 MIN".

5. When preheating is done, the air fryer will beep 3 times. The display will show: "READY".

Note: If no buttons are pressed for 3 minutes, the air fryer will clear all settings and go into standby.

Air Frying

Note:

• Do not place anything on top of your air fryer. This will disrupt airflow and cause poor air frying results. ❌
• 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.

Preset Settings

You can customize time (1–60 minutes) and temperature (170°–400°F / 77°–205°C), unless noted. Results may vary. Check out our Reference Guide and Recipe Book for a guide to customizing presets for perfect results.

* See Shaking Food (page 15). ** See Cooking Guide (page 16) for more tips on air frying french fries.

Preset Air Frying Programs

Using a preset is the easiest way to air fry. Presets are programmed with an ideal time and temperature for cooking certain foods.

1. Preheat your air fryer (see page 11).
2. When your air fryer displays "READY", add food to the baskets.
3. Select a preset cooking program (see page 12).
4. Optionally, customize the temperature and time. You can do this anytime during cooking.
   • Press Temp/Time once. The temperature will blink on the display. Press the + or – buttons to change the temperature (170–400°F / 77–205°C).
   • Press Temp/Time a second time. The time will blink on the display. Press the + or – buttons to change the time (1–60 minutes). Note: To rapidly increase or decrease time or temperature, press and hold the + or – buttons.
5. Press [play/pause] to begin air frying.
6. When using certain presets, the Shake Reminder will appear halfway through cooking time. The air fryer will beep 5 times, and "((SHAKE))" will blink on the display.
   • Take the baskets out of the air fryer, being careful of hot steam. The air fryer will pause cooking automatically. The display will turn off until the baskets are replaced.
   • Shake or flip the food. Be careful not to press the basket release button.
   • Put the baskets back into the air fryer.

   Note: See Shaking Food (page 15).

7. The air fryer will beep 3 times when finished. The display will show: "READY".
8. Optionally, press Keep Warm. Press the + or – buttons to change the time (1–60 minutes).
9. Take the baskets out of the air fryer, being careful of hot steam.
10. Remove inner basket from the outer basket to serve food. When separating baskets:
    • Make sure the baskets are resting on a flat surface.
    • Watch for hot oil or fat collected in the outer basket. To avoid splashing, drain oil before replacing inner basket.
11. Allow to cool before cleaning.

(Diagram shows a warning about hot oil splatter in the outer basket.)

Manual Air Frying

Follow these steps for manual air frying:

1. Preheat your air fryer (see page 11).
2. When your air fryer displays "READY", add food to the baskets.
3. Set the temperature and time. You can change this any time during cooking.

   • Press Temp/Time a second time. The time will blink on the display. Press the + or – buttons to change the time (1–60 minutes). Note: To rapidly increase or decrease time or temperature, press and hold the + or – buttons.
4. Press [play/pause] to begin air frying. Note: When manually air frying, there will be no Shake Reminder. You should still shake or flip appropriate foods. If you want the Shake Reminder, select a preset program with the reminder (see page 15) and change the time and temperature as desired.
5. The air fryer will beep 3 times when finished. The display will show: "READY".
6. Optionally, press Keep Warm. Press the + or – buttons to change the time (1–60 minutes).

Shaking Food

How to Shake

• 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. Note: Do not use this method if there is a risk of hot liquids splashing.
• 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 off 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.

What to Shake

• 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.

When to Shake

• Shake or flip food once halfway through cooking, or more if desired.
• Certain presets use the Shake Reminder (see Preset Settings, page 12).

Shake Reminder

• 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.

Cooking Guide

Overfilling

• If the basket is overfilled, food will cook unevenly.
• Food should not be filled over the "MAX" line of the inner basket. ❌ Do not pack in food.

(Diagram shows an air fryer basket with a "Do not overfill" warning.)

Using Oil

• 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.

Food Tips

• 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.

French Fries

• Add 1/2–1 US tbsp / 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 1/4– by 3-in / 0.6– by 7.6-cm strips.
