Safety Instructions

General Safety Precautions

• Do not immerse the multi-cooker or its plug in water or any other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
• Always unplug the appliance from the mains when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool before inserting or removing accessories.
• Do not operate the appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, or if its cord or plug is damaged. Contact customer support (see page 17).
• Do not use third-party spare parts or accessories, as this may cause injury.
• Do not use the appliance outdoors.
• Do not use the appliance near gas or electric stoves, or near heated ovens or open flames.
• Exercise extreme caution when moving the appliance if it contains hot oil or food. Improper use, including moving the appliance during operation, can cause injury.
• Do not clean the appliance with metal scouring pads. Small fragments from the pad can come into contact with electrical elements, creating a risk of electric shock.
• Do not place anything on top of the appliance or store anything inside it.
• Do not tap the top of the air fryer with hard objects, as this may cause the tempered glass to crack. Tempered glass is stronger and breaks more safely than ordinary glass, but it may unexpectedly shatter after cracking. If you see a crack, contact customer support (see page 17).
• Use the appliance strictly in accordance with the instructions in this user manual.
• The appliance is intended for household use only.

Air Frying Function Safety Precautions

• The multi-cooker operates with hot air only. Never fill the baskets with oil or fat.
• Never use your multi-cooker without the baskets installed.
• Do not place excessively large food items or metal cookware in the appliance.
• Never place paper, cardboard, non-heat-resistant plastic, or similar materials in the appliance. Only parchment paper or foil may be used.
• Never place baking paper or parchment paper in the appliance without food. Air circulation may cause the paper to lift and touch the heating elements.
• Always use heat-resistant containers. Be very careful when using non-metal and non-glass containers.
• The appliance is designed for use on a flat, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface. When placing the appliance, ensure the surface is level, clean, and dry.
• Immediately turn off and unplug the appliance if you notice dark smoke. White smoke is normal, caused by heating fat or food splatters. Dark smoke indicates burning food or an electrical problem. Wait for the smoke to dissipate before removing the baskets. If the smoke is not caused by burnt food, contact customer support (page 17).
• Do not leave your appliance unattended while in use.

Safe Use of Electrical Appliances

• Do not let the power cord (or any extension cord) hang over the edge of a table or counter and do not let it touch hot surfaces.
• Remove and discard the protective cover on the air fryer's plug to prevent choking hazards.
• Never use an outlet under a counter when plugging in your air fryer.
• Keep the air fryer and its cord out of reach of children under 8 years old.

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)

The COSORI Air Fryer complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic fields (EMF). According to current scientific data, if the appliance is used properly and in accordance with the instructions in this user manual, it is safe to use.

Disposal

This appliance complies with EU Directive 2011/65/EU regarding the disposal of equipment after its service life. Products marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin on the rating plate, packaging, or instructions must be disposed of separately from household waste after their service life. DO NOT dispose of the appliance with regular household waste. Your local distributor may have a program for recycling old equipment and may accept the appliance back for a new purchase. You can also contact your local administration to find out how to dispose of your device.

Getting to Know Your Multi-Cooker

The COSORI air fryer uses 360° rapid air circulation technology, allowing you to cook food with little or no oil. You will enjoy up to 85% fewer calories, faster, crispier, and tastier meals than when cooking in a conventional fryer. With one-touch controls, non-stick baskets, and an intuitive, safe design, the COSORI multi-cooker will be the star of your kitchen.

Note:

• Do not attempt to open the top of the air fryer. It is not a lid.
• The basket and crisper plate are made of aluminum with a non-stick coating. They do not contain PFOA or BPA.

Shaking Food (Mixing Ingredients)

How to Shake and Mix Ingredients?

• During cooking, remove the basket from the multi-cooker and shake, mix, or turn the ingredients.
• A. Mixing Ingredients:
  1. For safety reasons, hold the basket over a heat-resistant surface. Do not press the basket release button.
  2. Shake the basket.
• B. If the basket is too heavy to shake:
  1. Place the basket on a heat-resistant surface.
  2. Use tongs to mix or turn the food.
• When you remove the basket, the multi-cooker will automatically pause cooking. For safety reasons, the display will turn off until the basket is reinserted into the appliance.
• When you reinsert the basket into the appliance, cooking will automatically resume.
• Avoid shaking for more than 30 seconds, as the multi-cooker may start to cool down.

Accessories

Silicone Stoppers (Plugs)

• The crisper plate is designed with 4 rubber stoppers made of FDA-approved safe material. These stoppers hold the crisper plate at the bottom of the basket, preventing direct contact between the plate and the basket, and in rare cases, damage to the basket's non-stick coating.
• Remove the rubber stoppers only for cleaning. To remove the stoppers more easily, start from the bottom of the plate and pull out one side of the stopper first, then the other. [Figure 1.2]
• To install the rubber stoppers onto the plate, moisten them with water first. Then, push each stopper back through the bottom of the plate.

Care and Maintenance

Automatic Resume Cooking

• If you remove the basket, the appliance will automatically pause cooking. The display will temporarily turn off.
• When you reinsert the basket into the appliance, it will automatically resume cooking based on your previous settings.

Automatic Shut-off
