PRODUCT DIAGRAM & SPECIFICATIONS

INTRODUCTION

The Cosmo Air Fryer will help you to cook all your favorite meals and snacks without the use of extra oils or fats. Fat-free frying uses the principle of hot air combining with high-speed air cycling (Fast air change) and will provide onetime comprehensive heating; for most ingredients/food, there is no need for additional oil while cooking. The Grill for the Fry Pan allows for the Air Fryer to bake food, such as cake and biscuits.

To prepare your Cosmo Air Fryer for the first time:

1. Remove all packing material.
2. Remove the glue and labels on the unit.
3. Clean the Fry Basket, Fry Pan, and Grill thoroughly with hot water, detergent, and a non-abrasive sponge. These components are also dishwasher-safe.
4. Wipe the inside and outside of the Air Fryer unit with a wet cloth/non-abrasive sponge and dry thoroughly.
   NOTE: DO NOT submerge the Air Fryer unit or plug in water, nor wash with direct water source, i.e. running faucet.

Air Frying Tips

• Any food that can be cooked in the oven can also be cooked in the fat-free fryer.
• Smaller sized portions of food will require less time for cooking.
• During the cooking process, turning over the food will allow for more even frying.
• Adding a small amount of oil to ingredients/food BEFORE cooking, the food can cook crispier in the Air Fryer. After adding the oil, allow the food to sit for several minutes before cooking. (NOTE: Never pour oil or other liquid directly into the air fryer.)
• Bread can be made quickly and conveniently with the use of pre-fermented dough. Compared to fresh dough, pre-fermented dough requires a shorter cooking time.
