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 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. Keep your hands and face clear of 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 cooling 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
• 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.
• 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.

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 oversized foods or metal utensils into your air fryer.
• Do not place paper, cardboard, non-heat-resistant 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 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 baskets out. If the cause was not burnt food, contact Customer Support (page 24).
• Do not leave your air fryer unattended while in use.

Plug & 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 plugin 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 2).
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.

Shaking Food
How to Shake

• During cooking, take the baskets out of the air fryer and shake, mix, or flip the food.

A. To shake food:

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. If the baskets are too heavy to shake:

1. Place the baskets on a heat-resistant holder or surface.
2. Separate the baskets. Make sure no liquids are dripping from the inner basket.
3. Carefully shake the inner basket.

Note: Do not use this method if there is a risk of hot liquids splashing.
C. If the baskets are too heavy to shake and there are hot liquids present:

1. Place the baskets on a heat-resistant holder or surface.
2. Use tongs to mix or flip the food.

• When you take the baskets out, the air fryer will pause cooking automatically. As a safety feature, the display will turn off until the baskets are replaced.
• When you replace the baskets, cooking will automatically resume.
• void 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.
• Without shaking, foods may not be crispy or evenly cooked.
• 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.
• Certain presets use the Shake Reminder (see Preset Settings, page 14).

Shake Reminder

• The Shake Reminder will alert you with 5 beeps, and “((SHAKE))” will blink on the display.
• If you do not remove the baskets, the Shake Reminder will beep again after 1 minute and the display will show a solid “((SHAKE))”.
• The Shake Reminder will go away once you take out the baskets.

Cooking Guide
Overfilling

• If the basket is overfilled, food will cook unevenly.
• Food should not be filled over the “MAX” line of the inner basket. [Figure 5.1] Do not pack in food.

Do not overfill
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.
• 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.

French Fries

• Add ½­1 US tbsp / 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-in / 0.6- by 7.6-cm strips.

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

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.
   Note: The baskets have a nonstick coating. Avoid metal utensils and abrasive cleaning materials.
4. For stubborn grease:
   a. In a small bowl, mix 2 US tbsp / 30 mL 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 baskets and scrub. Let the baskets sit for 15 minutes before rinsing.
   c. Wash baskets 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. [Figure 6.1] If needed, clean the heating coil to remove food debris.

Shaking Food

How to Shake

• During cooking, press and hold the basket release button to take the basket out of the air fryer, and shake, mix, or flip the food.
  • To shake food:
    1. Hold the basket just above a heat-resistant surface for safety purposes.
    2. Shake the basket.
       Note: Do not use this method if there is a risk of hot liquids splashing.
  • If the basket is too heavy to shake and there are hot liquids present:
    1. Place the basket on a heat-resistant holder or surface.
    2. Use tongs to mix or flip the food.
• When you take the basket out, the air fryer will pause cooking automatically. As a safety feature, the display will tum off until the basket is replaced.
• When you replace the basket, 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.
• Without shaking, foods may not be crispy or evenly cooked.
• 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.
• The Shake Reminder is designed to remind you to check on your food. Tap SHAKE to turn on the Shake Reminder. Certain cooking functions use the Shake Reminder automatically (see Cooking Functions, page 12).

Shake Reminder 

• The Shake Reminder will alert you with 5 beeps, and (Shake) will blink on the display.
• If you do not remove the basket, the Shake Reminder will beep again after 1 minute and the display will show a solid (Shake).
• The Shake Reminder will go away once you take out the basket.

Cooking Guide

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 30 mL / 2 US tbsp 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.
• 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 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.

French Fries 

• Add 8-15 mL / ½-1 US tbsp 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 0.6- by 7.6-cm /¼- by 3-inch strips.

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

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, 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. 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.

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 oversized foods or metal utensils into your air fryer.
• Do not place paper, cardboard, non-heat resistant 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.
• 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. 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).

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 currently available.

1. Remove all packaging from the air fryer, including any temporary stickers.
2. Place the air fryer on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, away from areas that can be damaged by steam (such as walls or cupboards).Note: Leave 5 in / 13 cm of space behind and above the air fryer. [Figure 2.1] Leave enough room to remove the baskets.
    
3. Pull the handle to remove the baskets. Remove all plastic from baskets.
4.  Press the basket release button to separate the inner basket from the outer basket. [Figure 2.2]
   
   
5.  Wash both baskets, using either a dishwasher or a non-abrasive sponge
6.  Wipe the inside and outside of the air fryer with a slightly moist cloth. Dry with a towel.
7.  Put the baskets back inside the air fryer.

Basket Tips

• Separate baskets only after cooking, to serve food and wash baskets.
• The button guard protects the release button from being pressed accidentally. Slide the button guard forward to press the release button. [Figure 2.3]
•  Never press the release button while carrying the baskets.
• Only press the 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. [Figure 2.2] When you press the release button, the outer basket will drop

Note:

•  Do not unscrew the basket handle from the baskets.
•  To order replacement parts, please contact Customer Support (see page 22).

Air Frying

Note:

• Do not place anything on top of your air fryer. This disrupts airflow and causes poor air frying results. [Figure 3.1]
•  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

• During cooking, take the baskets out of the air fryer and shake, mix, or flip the food.

1. To shake food:
   • For safety purposes, hold the baskets just above  heat-resistant surface.
   • Do not press the basket release button. Shake the baskets
2. If the baskets are too heavy to shake:
   • Place the baskets on a heat resistant holder or surface.
   • Separate the baskets. Make sure no liquids are dripping from the inner basket.
   •  Carefully shake the inner basket.
     Note: Do not use this method if there is a risk of hot liquids splashing
3. If the baskets are too heavy to shake and there are hot liquids present: If the baskets are too heavy to shake and there are hot liquids present:
   • Place the baskets on a heat resistant holder or surface.
   • Use tongs to mix or flip the food.

• When you take the baskets out, the air fryer will pause cooking automatically. As a safety feature, the display will turn off until the 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.
• Without shaking, foods may not be crispy or evenly cooked.
•  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.
•  Certain presets use a Shake Reminder (see Preset Settings, page 12).

Shake Reminder

• The Shake Reminder will alert you with 5 beeps, and “((SHAKE))” will blink on the display.
•  If you do not remove the baskets, the Shake Reminder will beep again after 1 minute and the display will show a solid “((SHAKE))”.
•  The Shake Reminder will go away once you take out the baskets.

Cooking Guide

Over-Filling

• If the basket is overfilled, food will cook unevenly.
•  Food should not be filled over the “MAX” line of the inner basket. [Figure 5.1] 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 tablespoons 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.
• To make cakes, hand pies, or any food with filling or batter, place food in  a heat 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.

French Fries

• Add ½ to 1 tablespoon 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-inch by 3-inch (0.6 cm by 7.6 cm) strips.

FAQS

How do I clean my air fryer?

First, unplug your air fryer. Then wipe the outside housing and the inside of the inner basket with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly before using again. Never immerse your air fryer in water or liquid.

Can I use my air fryer to cook frozen foods?

Yes, with the addition of a frozen food basket accessory. The frozen food basket accessory is sold separately and is not included with your air fryer. To order the frozen food basket accessory, visit www.cosori.com/cs158af/accessories/ or call 1-800-922-7676.

Are there any tips for using my air fryer?

Make sure you place your food in the basket before plugging in your air fryer. Never place hot food directly into the basket or hot oil into the basket as this may result in burns or damage to your air fryer. Always use tongs when handling food in the basket to avoid touching hot surfaces. Always follow recipe instructions for cooking times and temperatures for best results.

What kind of oil can I use in my air fryer?

You can use either vegetable oil or canola oil for best results when cooking with your air fryer. We recommend using a light flavorless oil such as canola or vegetable oil for best results when cooking with your air fryer since it will not affect the taste of your food as much as other oils may do so. We do not recommend using olive oil or butter because they may burn at high temperatures and will leave an oily residue on your food which may affect its taste when cooked at high temperatures. We also recommend that you do not fill your inner basket more than half full with oil when cooking with your air fryer so that there is enough room for hot air to circulate around all sides of each piece of food being cooked by the circulating hot air inside the inner basket during cooking (see FAQ #5 below). If you are cooking fish fillets, we recommend that you lightly brush them with oil prior to placing them into the inner basket so that they do not stick together while cooking (see FAQ #1 above).

How long should I cook my food in my air fryer?

This will depend on what kind of food you are cooking and how well done you want it done, but generally speaking, it should take about 20 minutes for most foods (such as chicken breasts) if you want them cooked

What’s in the box

1 × Air Fryer Machine;
1 × Air Fryer Basket;
1 × Recipe Book;
1 × Manual(in EN/FR/ES);
1 × Warranty Card;
1 × Quick Reference Guide

Does this stir by itself?

No, this unit does not stir food on its own. For some presets, the air fryer will remind you to “shake” or flip your food for even cooking.

What is the difference between the two listed?

Great question! Both the CS158-AF and the CS358-AF have presets with a suggested time and temperature, and both allow you to customize the time/temp to your liking and they both are smart WI-FI enabled. The CS358-AF, however, allows you to save a new default—so every time you use that preset, it is automatically programmed to your preference. We hope this helps!

What are the Alex commands??

Please contact our support team! We would love to give you the instructions for Alexa Commands. We look forward to hearing from you.

How to use with app

You can remotely control your air fryer through the VeSync app. You could enjoy adjusting and monitoring the cooking progress of your meals using your device. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Does the basket insert have a handle similar to the handle on the drawer?

It is the same handle but detaches to manipulate it. it’s a good product

Is this item made of plastic?

It is very well built. But yes, some parts of the outer skin I believe are plastic, of some sort. It is very well insulated and the outer skin never gets very warm even when cooking at 400 degrees. I am extremely happy with mine and have used it every day since I purchased it.

Spring like Sound while moving side to side or up and down, is this normal?

Yes…that’s just the inner basket

Can this be used without using the wi fi?

Yes, you can! Feel free to reach out to our team if you have any other questions.

Why isn’t this prime eligible?

Mine way!

what is order number?

To locate your Amazon order information:
1. Go to the Amazon home page.
2. Click “Orders” at the top right-hand corner.
3. Locate the order and click “Invoice”.
4. Screenshot or copy and paste the invoice information.

Is the included cookbook a hard copy one or a digital one for a phone or tablet ?

It is a hard copy for the cook book

do i need oil for this model?

The air fryer is designed to cook with little-to-no oil. Adding a small amount of oil (no more than 2 US tbsp / 30 mL of oil) to your food (such as vegetables) will make it crispier. Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out for more recipe ideas or tips from our culinary department.
