Important Safety Precautions

Read all instructions before use. Always follow basic safety precautions:

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.
• Do not block ventilation openings. Keep hands and face away from openings.
• Caution: The crisper plate is very hot and may fall out when the basket is inverted, posing a burn risk.
• Ensure the crisper plate is properly inserted into the basket to prevent it from falling out.
• Always remove hot food from the basket using tongs.
• Do not immerse the air fryer body or plug in water or other liquids.

Safety Precautions During Use

• The air fryer operates with hot air only. Never fill the baskets with oil or fat.
• Never use the air fryer without the baskets installed.
• Do not place oversized foods or metal utensils in the appliance.
• Do not overfill the basket. Overfilling can cause ingredients to fall onto the heating plate, potentially causing a fire.
• Do not use aerosol cooking sprays, as propellants can damage the basket coating.
• Do not touch the basket or crisper plate during or immediately after use.
• Never place paper, cardboard, non-heat-resistant plastic, or similar materials in the appliance. Only parchment paper or foil can be used.
• Never place baking paper or parchment paper in the appliance without food. Air circulation can cause the paper to lift and touch the heating elements.
• Never place thin and light food, such as puffed rice cereal, in the basket, as air circulation can cause these ingredients to lift and touch the heating plate.
• Always use heat-resistant containers. Exercise caution with non-metallic and non-glass containers.
• Keep the air fryer away from flammable materials (curtains, tablecloths, etc.). Use only on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface away from heat sources or liquids.
• Immediately turn off and unplug the appliance if you see dark smoke. White smoke is normal; dark smoke indicates burning food or an electrical issue. Wait for smoke to clear before removing baskets. If the smoke is not due to burnt food, contact customer support.
• To turn off the appliance, press the Power button (①). The appliance will beep, and all buttons except the Power button will turn off.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use.
• To unplug, grasp the plug and pull it from the outlet. Never pull the power cord.

Safe Use of Electrical Appliances

• Unplug the appliance before removing the plug from the outlet.
• Do not let the power cord (or any extension cord) hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Arovast Corporation or a similarly qualified person to avoid electric shock or fire. Contact customer support.
• The appliance uses a short power cord to reduce the risk of entanglement or tripping.
• The marked electrical rating of an extension cord should be the same as the rated power of the air fryer.
• Ensure the extension cord's marked electrical rating is the same as the appliance's rated power.
• Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children under 8 years old.
• Never use an outlet under a countertop when plugging in your air fryer.

Before First Use

Setup

1. Remove all packaging materials, promotional labels, and protective films.
2. Place the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface. Keep it away from surfaces that could be damaged by steam (e.g., walls or cabinets).

Note: Leave 13 cm / 5 inches of clearance behind and above the appliance. Leave enough space to easily remove the baskets.

3. Wash the baskets and crisper plates thoroughly in a dishwasher or with a non-abrasive sponge.

Note: Water spots may remain on the basket window after washing. This is normal. Run the air fryer for 15 minutes to dry the basket completely.

4. Wipe the air fryer inside and out with a slightly damp cloth. Towel dry.
5. Place the crisper plates back into the baskets. Insert the baskets into the air fryer.

Test Run

A test run helps you familiarize yourself with the appliance and ensures it is functioning correctly, as well as cleaning it of any residual manufacturing materials.

1. Ensure the air fryer baskets are empty and plug in the appliance.
2. Touch the Power button (①). The display will show "200°C" and "15 MIN".
3. Press SHAKE to turn off the shake reminder and press PREHEAT to turn off preheating. Touch TEMP/TIME and use + and – to set the temperature and time to "205°C" and "5 MIN".
4. Press SYNC COOK to copy the settings from the left basket to the right.
5. Press START/PAUSE to begin preheating. The air fryer will beep upon completion of the test run.
6. Remove the baskets and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Then, place the empty baskets back into the air fryer.
7. Repeat steps 2–5 to thoroughly test the air fryer.
8. Remove the baskets. This time, allow the baskets to cool completely for 10–30 minutes.

Note: Any air fryer may have a plastic smell that remains from the manufacturing process. This is normal. If the plastic smell persists after the test run, contact customer support.

Caution: Be careful when inverting the basket after cooking, as the hot plate may fall out and create a hazard.

Using Your Air Fryer

Air Frying

Note: Do not place anything on top of the appliance, as this will disrupt airflow and may lead to poor cooking results. The air fryer is not a deep fryer; do not fill the baskets with oil, shortening, or any other liquid. Be cautious of hot steam when removing the baskets.

Cooking Function Settings

The easiest way to achieve crispy, oil-free results with Air Frying is to use the preset settings. These settings are programmed with the ideal time and temperature for cooking specific foods. You can adjust the time, temperature, preheat, and shake reminder settings as needed.

To Set a Function:

• Select a function and adjust the time and temperature. Optionally, add/remove the shake reminder by pressing SHAKE, and add/remove preheating by pressing PREHEAT.

Note: To quickly increase or decrease time or temperature, press and hold the + or – buttons.

• Press and hold the function button until the air fryer beeps once.

To Cancel a Function:

• Without making any changes, press and hold the function button and START/PAUSE for 3 seconds until the air fryer beeps once.

To Cancel All Functions:

• Press and hold the Power button (①) and START/PAUSE for 3 seconds until the air fryer beeps once.

Cooking Tables

Cooking results may vary from those shown in the illustrations. Before using the appliance, it is recommended to consult the user manual and recipe book for information on preset cooking settings for perfect results.

Shaking Food

How to Shake and Toss Ingredients?

• During cooking, remove the baskets from the air fryer and shake, toss, or turn the ingredients.

A. Tossing Ingredients:

1. For safety reasons, hold the baskets over a heat-resistant surface. 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. Carefully shake the inner basket.

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

C. If the baskets are too heavy to shake and contain hot liquids:

1. Place the baskets on a heat-resistant holder or surface.
2. Use tongs to toss or turn the food.

• When you remove the baskets from the appliance, it will automatically pause cooking, and the display will turn off until the baskets are reinserted.
• Once you place the baskets back into the appliance, the cooking process will automatically resume.
• Do not shake the baskets for longer than 30 seconds, as the appliance may begin to cool down.

What to Toss?

• Small items that typically need tossing, such as french fries or nuggets.
• Without tossing, some foods will not be crispy and evenly cooked.
• You can also turn other foods, such as steak, to ensure even browning.

When to Toss?

• Shake or toss ingredients once in the middle of the cooking process, or more frequently as desired.
• Some preset settings use a shake reminder (see Preset Settings, page 11).

Shake Reminder

• The shake reminder will notify you with 5 beeps, and the display will flash "(I SHAKE)".
• If you do not remove the baskets, the appliance will beep again after 1 minute, and the display will continuously show "(SHAKE)".
• Once you remove the baskets, the shake reminder will disappear from the appliance's display.

Cooking Instructions

Basket Overfilling

• If the basket is overfilled, the food will cook unevenly.
• Do not overfill the basket; ingredients may fall onto the heating plate and cause a fire.

Using Oil

• Adding a small amount of oil to food can make it crispier. Use no more than 30 ml / 2 tablespoons of oil.
• Oil sprays are excellent for evenly applying a small amount of oil to all food items.

Cooking Tips

• You can cook any frozen foods or oven-bakeable foods using the Air Fry function.
• To cook cakes, pies, or any food with filling or dough, place the ingredients in a heat-resistant container before placing them in the baskets.
• Frying foods with high fat content using the Air Fry function will cause fat to drip from the ingredients to the bottom of the baskets. To avoid excess smoke during cooking, drain the dripping fat after cooking.
• Foods marinated in liquid will create splatters and excess smoke. Pat these foods dry before cooking.

French Fries

• Add 8–15 ml / 1/2–1 tablespoon of oil to potatoes for crispier results.
• When cooking french fries from raw potatoes, soak the raw fries in water for 15 minutes to remove starch before frying. Dry the potatoes with a towel before adding oil.
• For crispier results, it is recommended to cut the potatoes into smaller pieces. Try cutting french fries into 0.6 x 7.6 cm / 1/4 x 3 inch strips.

Note: For more Cosori kitchen tips, refer to our recipe book and chef's tips.

Care and Maintenance

Note: Always clean the appliance's baskets and interior after each use. Lining the outer basket with foil can make cleaning easier.

1. Turn off and unplug the appliance. Allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Remove the baskets from the appliance to help it cool faster.
2. Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth as needed.
3. The baskets and crisper plates are dishwasher safe. You can also clean them by hand with hot, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. You can soak them in water if necessary.

Note: The baskets and plates have a non-stick coating. Avoid using metal utensils and abrasive cleaning agents.

4. To remove stubborn grease:

a. In a small bowl, mix 30 ml / 2 tablespoons of baking soda and 15 ml / 1 tablespoon of water to form a spreadable paste.

b. Use a sponge to apply the paste to the baskets. Let the baskets sit with the paste for 15 minutes before rinsing.
