A plastic smell from the manufacturing process is normal at first, but you need to do a specific "test run" to burn it off. Let's walk through it.
- Make sure the basket is empty and plug in the air fryer.
- Press the PREHEAT button. The display will show 400°F and 4 minutes. Press Start/Pause to begin.
- When preheating is done, it will beep. Pull the basket out and let it cool for 4 minutes.
- Place the basket back in. Press the STEAK function button. It will show 450°F and 6 minutes.
- Press the Time button once to change the time to 5 minutes. Press Start/Pause to begin this 5-minute cook cycle.
- After it beeps, remove the basket and let it cool completely for 10-30 minutes. This should eliminate the smell.
IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If the plastic smell is still strong after the test run, there may be a residue issue. Contact Cosori Customer Support.
