IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow basic safety precautions when using your air fryer. Read all instructions.

Key Safety Points

Do not touch hot surfaces. To open, use handle and a heat-resistant glove or oven mitt to avoid touching the front of the outer basket. Do not use a potholder.

Only press the basket release button with the baskets resting flat on any level, heatresistant 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 block any ventilation openings. Hot steam is released through openings. Keep your hands and face clear of any openings.

General Safety

Do not immerse the air fryer housing or plug in water or liquid.
Closely supervise children near your air fryer.
Unplug 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 is damaged, not working, or if the cord or plug is damaged. Contact Customer Support (see page 20).
Do not use third-party replacement parts or accessories, as this 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.
To disconnect the air fryer, turn off, then remove plug from wall outlet.
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 place anything on top of your air fryer. Do not store anything inside your air fryer.
Only use your air fryer as directed in this manual.
Not for commercial use. Household use only. cautious if using containers that aren’t metal or glass.
Keep your air fryer away from flammable materials (curtains, tablecloths, etc). Use on a flat, stable, heatresistant surface away from heat sources or liquids.
Immediately turn off and unplug your air fryer if you see dark smoke coming out. Food is burning. Wait for smoke to clear before pulling the baskets out.
Do not leave your air fryer unattended while in use.

Plug and Cord

Your 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.
Your air fryer should only be used with 120V, 60Hz electrical systems. Do not plug into another type of outlet.

Note: This fryer 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 fryer (see page 3).

While Air Frying

An air fryer works with hot air only. Never fill the baskets with oil or fat.
Never use your air fryer without the baskets in place.
Do not place oversize foods or metal utensils into your air fryer.
Do not place paper, cardboard, non-heatresistant 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.

As a safety feature, the display will turn off until 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.

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.
Use the alarm function to remind yourself to shake or flip the food.
The alarm will alert you with 5 beeps, and will blink on the display.
If you do not remove the baskets, the alarm will beep again after 1 minute and will continually blink.

Cooking Guide

Over-Filling

If the basket is overfilled, food will cook unevenly. [Figure 4.2]
Food should not be filled over the “MAX” line of the inner basket. [Figure 4.3] Do not pack in food.

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.

French Fries

Add 1/2 to 1 US tbsp / 8 to 15 mL oil for crispiness.
When making fries from raw potatoes, soak uncooked fries in water for 15 minutes to remove starch prior to air frying. Pat dry with a towel before adding oil.
Cut uncooked fries smaller for crispier results.
Try cutting fries into ¼-inch by 3-inch / 0.6 cm by 7.6 cm strips.

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.

Note: For more from the Cosori Kitchen, check out our Recipe Book and Reference Guide.
