    What to do if my Cosori CAF-L501-KUS Fryer is smoking?

      Kelly Hines MDAug 13, 2025
      If your Cosori Fryer is emitting dark smoke, it could be due to burning food or a circuit issue. Immediately unplug the air fryer and wait for the smoke to clear before removing the basket. If burnt food isn't the cause, further assistance is needed.

    Why is my Cosori CAF-L501-KUS releasing white smoke?

      Christina EllisonAug 16, 2025
      White smoke or steam from your Cosori Fryer can be normal during initial use or cooking. However, ensure the basket and interior are clean and not greasy. Cooking greasy foods can also cause this as oil collects beneath the crisper plate. This is normal and shouldn't affect cooking, but handle the basket carefully.
