IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Follow basic safety precautions when using your air fryer. Read all instructions. Key Safety Points Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handle. 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. Do not block any ventilation openings. Hot steam is released through 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 24). • Do not use third-party replacement parts or accessories, as this may cause injuries. • Do not use outdoors.

With user-friendly, one-touch controls, nonstick baskets, and an intuitive, safe design, the Cosori Smart Air Fryer is the star of your kitchen.

BEFORE FIRST USE Setting Up Test Run 1. Remove all packaging and temporary stickers from the air fryer. 2. Place the air fryer on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface. Keep away from areas that can be damaged by steam (such as walls or cupboards). A test run will help you become familiar with your air fryer, make sure it’s working correctly, and clean it of possible residues. 1. Make sure the air fryer baskets are empty, then plug in the air fryer. 2. Press Preheat.
Basket Tips • Only separate the baskets to clean or after cooking. • The button guard protects the release button from being pressed accidentally. Slide the button guard forward to press the basket release button. [Figure 3.2] • Never press the 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. • The handle is attached to the inner basket, not the outer basket. [Figure 3.
USING YOUR SMART AIR FRYER Note: You can use the VeSync app to control all smart air fryer functions, follow in-app recipes, and access additional functions. Preheating We recommend preheating before placing food into the air fryer, unless your air fryer is already hot. Food will not cook thoroughly without preheating. 1. Plug in. Press 2. Press Preheat. The display will show “400°F” and “5 MIN”. 3. Optionally, press the + or – buttons to change the temperature. The time will adjust automatically.
Air Frying Preset Settings Note: Using a preset is the easiest way to air fry. Presets are programmed with an ideal time and temperature for cooking certain foods. • Do not place anything on top of your air fryer. This will disrupt airflow and cause poor air frying results. [Figure 4.1] • 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.

Shaking Food How to Shake What to Shake • During cooking, take the baskets out of the air fryer and shake, mix, or flip the food. • Small foods that are stacked, such as fries or nuggets, will usually need shaking. A. To shake food: • Without shaking, food may not be crispy or evenly cooked. • You can flip other food, such as steak, to ensure even browning. 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.
Cooking Guide Overfilling Food Tips • If the baskets are overfilled, food will cook unevenly. • You can air fry any frozen foods or goods that can be baked in an oven. • Baskets should not be filled over the “MAX” line in the inner basket. [Figure 4.3] Do not pack in food. • To make cakes, hand pies, or any food with filling or batter, place food in a heatsafe container before placing it in the baskets. • Air frying high-fat foods will cause fat to drip to the bottom of the baskets.

CARE & MAINTENANCE Note: • Always clean the air fryer baskets and interior after every use. • Lining the outer basket with foil may make cleanup easier. 1. Turn off and unplug the air fryer. Allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Pull out the baskets for faster cooling. 2. Wipe the outside of the air fryer with a moist cloth, if necessary. 3. The baskets are dishwasher safe. You can also wash the baskets with hot, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Soak if necessary.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Solution Make sure the air fryer is plugged in. The air fryer will not turn on. Push the baskets securely into the air fryer. Food is not completely cooked. Place smaller batches of food into the inner basket. If the basket is overstuffed, then food will be undercooked. Increase cooking temperature or time. Food is cooked unevenly. Foods that are stacked on top of each other or close to each other need to be shaken or flipped during cooking (see Shaking Food, page 15).
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Solution Dark smoke is coming out of the air fryer. Immediately unplug your air fryer. Dark smoke means that food is burning or there is a circuit problem. Wait for smoke to clear before pulling the baskets out. If the cause was not burnt food, contact Customer Support (see page 24). The air fryer has a plastic smell. Any air fryer may have a plastic smell from the manufacturing process. This is normal.
