IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Key Safety Points

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handle.
• Use caution when turning the basket over after cooking, as the hot crisper plate may fall out and create a safety hazard.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Hot steam is released through openings. Keep your hands and face clear of openings. To replace the brush roll cover, align the slot on the cover with the tab and snap the cover into place.

General Safety 

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the air fryer housing, cord, 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 19).
• 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 basket) if it contains hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Always place the crisper plate on a heat-resistant surface after removing it from the basket.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Metal fragments can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
• This air fryer is not intended for use 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 the use of the air fryer by a person responsible for their safety

While Air Frying

• An air fryer works with hot air only. Never fill the basket with oil or fat.
• Never use your air fryer without the basket in place.
• Do not place oversized foods or metal utensils into your air fryer.
• Do not overfill the air fryer basket. Heaping amounts of food may touch the heating coils and cause a fire hazard.
• Do not touch accessories (including the crisper plate) during or immediately after air frying.
• Do not place paper, cardboard, non-heat-resistant plastic, or similar materials, into your air fryer.
• Never put baking or parchment paper into the air fryer without food on top. Air circulation can cause the paper to lift and touch heating coils.
• Always use heat-safe containers. Be extremely 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, heat-resistant surface away from heat sources or liquids.
• Immediately turn off and unplug your air fryer 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 the smoke to clear before pulling the basket out. If the cause was not burnt food, contact Customer Support.

Power & Cord

• Your air fryer has a 3-prong grounding plug, and should only be used with 120V, 60Hz electrical systems in North America. Always plug into a grounded electrical outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.
• Turn off the air fryer 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 counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Remove and discard the plug’s protective cover to prevent a choking hazard.
• Keep the air fryer and its cord out of reach of children
• Never use an outlet below the counter when plugging in your air fryer.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer extension cord is used:
  • The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the air fryer.
  • The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
  • This air fryer is an appliance of the grounded type. Any cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
The Cosori Air Fryer 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.
