IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

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.
  • CAUTION: The hot crisper plate may fall out when turning the basket over.
  • 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.
  • Do not place anything on top of your air fryer. Do not store anything inside your air fryer.
  • 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 use of the air fryer by a person responsible for their safety.
  • Do not allow children to clean or perform maintenance on the air fryer unless they are supervised.
  • Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the air fryer.
  • This air fryer is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
  • Only use your air fryer as directed in this manual.
  • Not for commercial use. Household use only.

NOTE

• Firmly insert the crisper plate into the basket to reduce the chance of it falling out.
• Always use tongs to carefully remove hot food.

General Safety

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the air fryer housing, cord, or plug in water or other liquids.
• 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.
• Do not use third-party replacement parts or accessories, as this may cause injuries.

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 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.
• To turn the air fryer off, press power button once. The air fryer will beep, and all of the buttons will shut off except which will turn orange.
• To unplug, grab the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
• Do not leave your air fryer unattended while in use.

Power & Cord

• 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.
• Never use an outlet below the counter when plugging in your air fryer.
• Your air 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.
• Your air fryer should only be used with 120V, 60Hz electrical systems. Do not plug into another type of outlet.
• Keep the air fryer and its cord out of reach of children.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR AIR FRYER

Your COSORI Air Fryer uses a DC motor which heats up the air fryer quicker, cooks faster, and allows for precise temperature and fan control, so your food cooks exactly the way you want it. With user-friendly one-touch controls, a nonstick basket, and an intuitive, safe design, the COSORI TurboBlaze™ Air Fryer is the star of your kitchen.

Note:

• Do not try to open the top of the air fryer. This is not a lid.
• The basket and crisper plate are made of aluminum metal with nonstick coating.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Setting Up

1. Remove and discard all packaging from the air fryer, including any temporary stickers and the protective cover fitted over the power plug.
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).
3. Wash both the basket and crisper plate thoroughly, using either a dishwasher or a non-abrasive sponge.
4. Wipe the inside and outside of the air fryer with a slightly moist cloth. Dry with a towel.
5. Place the crisper plate back into the basket. Tilt the crisper plate to insert one side first, then press down on the other side.
6. Place the basket inside the air fryer.

Test Run

A test run will help you become familiar with your air fryer, make sure it’s working correctly, and clean it of possible residues in the process.

1. Make sure the air fryer basket is empty and plug in the air fryer.
2.  Tap AIR FRY. The display will show “385°F” and “10 MIN”.
3. Tap start/pause to begin. When finished, the air fryer will beep and the display will show “End”.
4. Press the basket release button and remove the basket. Let the basket cool completely for 10–30 minutes.

Silicone Stoppers

• The crisper plate contains 4 silicone stoppers made of food-safe material. These stoppers keep the plate fitted to the bottom of the basket.
• When placing the crisper plate into the basket, tilt the crisper plate to insert one side first, then press down on the other side. [Figure 1.2]
• Make sure children do not play with the silicone stoppers or swallow them.

USING YOUR AIR FRYER

NOTE

• Do not place anything on top of your air fryer. This will disrupt airflow and cause poor air frying results. [Figure 2.1]
• An air fryer is not a deep fryer. Do not fill the basket with oil, frying fat, or any liquid.
• When taking the basket out of the air fryer, be careful of hot steam.

Preheating

We recommend preheating before placing food inside the air fryer, unless your air fryer is already hot. Food will not cook thoroughly without preheating.

1. Tap power to turn on the display.
2. Tap PREHEAT. The display will show “400°F” and ”4 MIN”.
3. Optionally, tap up or down to change the temperature. The time will adjust automatically.
4. Tap play/pause to begin preheating.
5. When the time has finished, the air fryer will beep and the display will show “End”.

Note

• If no buttons are pressed for 30 minutes, the air fryer will clear all settings and turn off.
• Preheat uses a fan speed of 4.
• When adjusting the temperature, the time will automatically adjust based on the chart below.

Cooking Functions

Using a cooking function is the easiest way to air fry. Functions are programmed with an ideal time, temperature, and fan speed for cooking certain foods.

All cooking functions’ time and temperature can be adjusted.

To customize a cooking function:

1. Select the function’s button you want to customize.
2. Tap up or down to change the function’s time and temperature.
3. To save, press and hold the function’s button for 3 seconds until you hear a beep.

To reset all cooking functions:

• Press and hold power for 15 seconds.

Air Frying

• Place the crisper plate into the basket.
• The crisper plate allows excess oil to drip down to the bottom of the basket.

Note: The crisper plate may not be used for certain recipes, such as muffins and breads.

•  Preheat your air fryer.
• When the air fryer beeps and the display shows “End”, add food to the basket.
• Select a cooking function

Note: Cooking functions are programmed with an ideal time, temperature, and fan speed for cooking certain foods. The air fryer will default to the Air Fry function if no other function is selected.

• Optionally, change the temperature and time by tapping up or down. You can do this anytime during cooking.
• Tap play/pause to begin air frying.
• The air fryer will beep when finished. The display will show.

• Take the basket out of the air fryer, being careful of hot steam. Use tongs or heat-safe utensils to remove the food from the basket.
• Allow to cool before cleaning.

Turbo Modes

• Turbo Modes cooking functions (Air Fry, Roast, Broil, Frozen) quickly cook food using the highest fan speed.
• We recommend using the crisper plate for all Turbo Modes functions to take full advantage of the 360° air flow when cooking.

Cooking Chart

Note: Results may vary. For recipes and cooking inspiration, check out the VeSync app and Recipe Book.

Cooking Tips

Overfilling

If the basket is overfilled, food will cook unevenly.

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.

Food Tips

• You can air fry any frozen foods or goods that can be baked in an oven.
• The Frozen function is ideal for small or breaded items, such as nuggets, meatballs, and pot stickers.
• To make cakes, hand pies, or any food with filling or batter, place food in a heat-safe container before placing in the basket.
• Air frying high-fat foods will cause fat to collect underneath the crisper plate. 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.
• Refer to the Cooking Chart to select the ideal cooking function for your recipe.

French Fries

• Add ½–1 US tbsp / 8–15 mL oil for crispiness.
• When making fries from raw potatoes, soak uncooked fries in water for 15 minutes to remove starch prior
  to frying. Pat dry with a towel before adding oil.
• Cut uncooked fries smaller for crispier results. Try cutting fries into ¼- by 3- inch / 0.6- by 7.6-cm strips.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Note:

• Always clean the air fryer basket and crisper plate after every use.
• Lining the basket with foil (except the crisper plate) may make cleanup easier.

1. Turn off and unplug the air fryer. Allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Pull out the basket for faster cooling.
2. Wipe the outside of the air fryer with a moist cloth, if necessary.
3. The basket and crisper plate are dishwasher-safe. You can also wash the basket and crisper plate with hot, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Soak if necessary.
4. For stubborn grease:
   a. In a small bowl, mix 2 US tbsp / 30 g of baking soda and 1 US tbsp / 15 mL of water to form a spreadable paste.
   b. Use a sponge to spread the paste on the basket and crisper plate and scrub. Let the basket and crisper plate sit for 15 minutes before rinsing.
   c. Wash basket with soap and water before using.
5. Clean the inside of the air fryer with a slightly moist, non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Do not immerse in water. If needed, clean the heating coil to remove food debris. [Figure 3.1]
6. Dry before using.

Note: The basket and crisper plate have a nonstick coating. Avoid using metal utensils and abrasive cleaning materials.
