READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow basic safety precautions when using your indoor grill.

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 surface of the grill.

• The outside of the grill, including the lid, is hot during and after use.

• Always use heat-resistant gloves, pads, or oven mitts when handling hot materials, and when placing items in or removing items from the grill, including accessories or containers.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Keep hands and face clear of vents at all times.

General Safety

• When the grill is not in use, and before cleaning, press to turn it off, then unplug from outlet. Allow to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts.

• Do not immerse the housing, cord, or plug in water or liquid.

• Closely supervise children near the grill.

• Do not use your grill if it is damaged, not working, or if the cord or plug is damaged. Contact Customer

Support

(see page 34).

• Do not use third-party replacement parts or accessories, as this may cause injuries.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not place the grill or any of its parts on a stove, near gas or electric burners, or inside a heated oven.

• Be extremely cautious when removing a tray or basket if it contains hot oil, grease, 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, as well as damage ceramic coating on accessories.

• Clean the cooking pot after using.

Accumulated grease and crumbs can overheat and catch fire.

• Do not store anything on top of your grill while it is operating. Do not store anything inside your grill other than recommended accessories.

• Do not operate with a separate remote-control system.

• Only use as directed in this manual.

• Not for commercial use. Household use only .

• This grill 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 grill by a person responsible for their safety.

• Supervise children when they are near the grill.

• Children should not clean or perform maintenance on the grill without supervision.

While Cooking

• An indoor grill works with hot air only. Never fill the cooking pot with oil or fat.

• Do not place oversized foods or metal utensils (except for Cosori accessories) into your grill.

• Do not place paper, cardboard, or non-heat-resistant plastic into your grill, or any materials which may catch fire or melt.

• To avoid overheating, do not use metal foil in the grill unless directed.

Use extreme caution when using foil, and always fit foil as securely as possible. If the foil contacts the grill’s splatter guard or heating element, this can cause overheating and risk of fire.

• Never put baking or parchment paper into the grill without food on top. Air circulation can cause paper to move and touch the splatter guard or heating element.

• Always use heat-safe containers.

Be extremely cautious if using containers that aren’t metal or glass.

• Keep your grill away from flammable materials (curtains, tablecloths, walls, etc.). Use on a flat, stable, heatresistant surface away from heat sources or liquids.

• Immediately turn off and unplug your grill 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 smoke to clear before opening the lid. If the cause was not burnt food, contact

Customer Support

. (see page 34)

• Do not leave your grill unattended while in use.

5

6

Power & Cord

• Your grill 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 grill should only be used with

120V, 60Hz electrical systems. Do not plug into another type of outlet.

• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Arovast

Corporation or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid an electric or fire hazard. Please contact

Customer Support (page 34).

• Unplugging the power cord will disable remote control of the grill and temporarily disconnect the grill from

VeSync and other third-party apps.

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)

This indoor grill 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.

1. To download the VeSync app, scan the

QR code or search “VeSync” in the Apple

App Store ® or Google Play Store.

Note: For Android ™ users, choose “Allow” to use

VeSync.

2. Open the VeSync app. If you already have an account, tap Log In . To create a new account, tap Sign Up .

Note: You must create your own VeSync account to use third-party services and products. These will not work with a guest account. With a VeSync account, you can also allow your family and friends to control your grill.

3. Turn on Bluetooth ® on your phone.

4. Tap + in the VeSync app and select your grill.

COOKING WITH YOUR INDOOR GRILL

Note:

You can use the VeSync app to control your indoor grill, follow in-app recipes, and more. (see page 17).

CAUTION:

• The outer surface of the grill, including the lid, is hot during and after use. Temperature may be over 212°F / 100°C. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handle.

• Do not fill the cooking pot with liquid or fat. This may cause damage to the grill.

• To avoid excess smoke, use oils such as grapeseed, canola, or vegetable oil. Oils with a lower smoking point, such as olive oil, will produce more smoke during cooking.

Using the Accessories

There are 3 accessories included with your grill: the cooking pot, basket, and grill grate.

The cooking functions require different accessories, so make sure to use the correct accessory. Follow the recipe instructions or the suggestions given in each function section.

Always make sure the cooking pot is properly in place at the bottom of the grill before cooking. [Figure 2.1] The cooking pot is not intended to be used to place food on.

When cooking, do not cook with the grill grate and the basket inserted at the same time.

ACCESSORIES

Additional and replacement accessories are available for your indoor grill. For more information, contact Customer Support

(see page 34).

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Clean grill accessories (including cooking pot, splatter guard, etc.) and grill interior after every use.

1. Before cleaning, turn off and unplug the grill, and allow it to cool completely.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

The grill will not turn on.

The grill has a plastic smell.

Possible Solution

Make sure the grill is plugged in.

New grills may have a plastic smell. This is normal. Follow the instructions for a Test Run

to get rid of the plastic smell (page 11).

Food is not completely cooked.

Make sure food items are not too closely packed into the grill. We recommend filling the grill to one-third of its capacity.

Spread food into an even layer before cooking

Use the Shake Reminder and mix or flip food halfway through cooking (see Shaking Food

, page 25).

Spraying or brushing a small amount of oil on foods prior to cooking can increase crispiness.

The grill may produce some white smoke or steam during cooking.

This is normal.

During first use, dust from the packing process may cause white smoke. This is normal for air grills and many other kitchen appliances. To eliminate any dust, see Test Run

(page 11).

Excess oil or fatty foods may produce white smoke. Make sure the inside of the grill is cleaned properly and isn’t greasy.

The filter may need to be replaced. We recommend replacing the filter every 6 months (or approximately every 60 uses). Contact

Customer Support

(see page 34).

Using fats or oils with a low smoking point such as coconut, olive, or vegetable oil, may produce white smoke during cooking.

Immediately press and unplug your grill. Food is burning. Wait for smoke to clear before opening the lid.
