Cosori Dual Blaze 6.4L Smart Air Fryer

Where to get real advice for this machine
Almost everything that changes a cooking answer is a property of the architecture rather than the badge. This is a basket air fryer, and the Basket air fryer page carries the cooking guidance that actually applies to it.
This is the baseline every cooking page on AirfryerHQ is written for. Times and temperatures are stated for a single layer in a drawer of this kind, so no adjustment applies. The one thing worth knowing about it is that the usable area is much smaller than the advertised litres suggest — the depth is mostly headroom, and food still has to go in one layer.
Does it genuinely air-fry?
Genuine air frying
Genuine. A crisper plate elevates food in the basket so oil drips clear and air reaches underneath, the element and fan sit above the food, and the published ceiling of 205°C is well inside the browning range. A 6.4-litre drawer recovers quickly after loading.
- Air moves fast, not just around
- Air reaches every surface of the food
- Recovers temperature quickly after loading
- Fat and moisture drain away
- Reaches genuine browning temperatures
What we know about this machine
Read from Cosori Dual Blaze 6.4L Smart Air Fryer CAF-P583S-KUK — User Manual (PDF), retrieved on 2026-08-13.
It is rated at 1700 W, an ordinary domestic rating that recovers temperature reasonably quickly after cold food goes in. It has a single cooking drawer, so everything in it cooks at one temperature for one time. It runs from 80°C to 205°C, which covers ordinary air frying and is too warm at the bottom end to dehydrate with. It is sold as 6.4 litres, which measures the whole drawer including the space above the food that you must not fill.
The figures above are the manufacturer’s. What they mean for cooking is AirfryerHQ’s reading of them, not a measurement — nobody here has run this machine.

What each setting actually does
Read from the manual. The first column is the name printed on the panel; the second is what that setting is in plain terms, so you can use advice written for somebody else’s appliance.

| Chicken | Air fry | 200°C, 20 min | 80–205°C | Not stated |

- Frozen: A named frozen preset. Note that it is HOTTER than the generic Air Fry default rather than cooler, which is the opposite of the adjustment most frozen guidance calls for — a preset is a starting point for engineered frozen food, not a rule about frozen food in general.
Questions owners ask about this machine
Answered from this model’s own manual (Cosori Dual Blaze 6.4L Smart Air Fryer CAF-P583S-KUK — User Manual) and nothing else. Where the manual does not address a question, it is not answered here from another machine’s.
What this manual calls the parts
- Crisper plate
- The perforated plate the food sits on.
- Basket
- The part that slides out and holds everything.The whole sliding container, with the crisper plate in its floor. There is no separate inner basket.
- Silicone stoppers
- The silicone stoppers or pads on the plate.Four on each plate. The manual says they keep the plate fitted to the bottom of the basket.
Other manufacturers use different words for the same parts, and sometimes the same word for a different one. What each part is called, brand by brand.
- Before the first cookWhat do I do before using it for the first time?
- Remove the packaging and the temporary stickers, wash the basket and crisper plate, wipe the inside and outside with a slightly moist cloth, and then do the test run the manual describes: Air Fry at 180°C for ten minutes with the basket empty. Let the basket cool for 10 to 30 minutes afterwards. The manual says the test run also clears possible residues.In the manual: Before First Use: Setting Up and Test Run.
- Where it stands, and the space it needsHow much space does it need around it?
- The manual says to leave 13 cm, or 5 inches, of space behind and above the air fryer, and enough room to remove the basket.In the manual: Before First Use: Setting Up, note.Why the clearance matters, and where not to stand one
- The parts, and how they go inWhat are the silicone bits on the crisper plate, and do they stay on?
- They are four silicone stoppers, described as food-safe, and they are what keeps the plate fitted to the bottom of the basket — so they stay on. To fit the plate, tilt it, put one side in first and press the other side down; the manual warns that forcing it in the wrong way may cause damage. It also warns that the hot plate can fall out if the basket is turned over after cooking.In the manual: Before First Use: Silicone Stoppers, and the note under Test Run.
- Opening it while it cooksCan I pause it without pulling the basket out?
- Yes. Pressing the start/pause button stops the heating and leaves the button blinking until it is pressed again, with the basket still in place. After 30 minutes of inactivity the air fryer turns itself off.In the manual: Using your smart air fryer: Pausing.
- Settings the panel does not explainHow do I change to Celsius, save my own settings, or reset them?
- The temperature unit changes with a three-second hold of Temp together with a second button, which the manual shows as a symbol. To save a time and temperature to a function, set them and hold that function's icon for three seconds; pressing the icon again straight after a change goes back to its default. Every function is reset by a fifteen-second hold of a button the manual also shows as a symbol, or from the app. Holding a time or temperature button runs quickly through the values.In the manual: Cooking functions: customising and resetting; Cooking tips, temperature unit.
- Oil, and dishes inside itHow much oil does this manual allow?
- A small amount on the food, for crispness, and no more than 30 mL — two tablespoons. It adds that fat from high-fat foods collects underneath the crisper plate and should be poured out after cooking to avoid smoke, and that food with a filling or a batter goes in a heat-safe container rather than straight in the basket.In the manual: Air Frying: Cooking Tips.
- How much goes in at onceHow full can I fill the basket?
- No fill line or weight is printed. The safeguards say not to overfill the air fryer basket, the cooking tips say an overfilled basket cooks food unevenly, and the troubleshooting table tells owners to make sure the basket is not overfilled.In the manual: Important safeguards; Cooking Tips: Overfilling; Troubleshooting.
- The non-stick coatingWhat is the basket made of, and when does it switch itself off?
- The basket and crisper plate are described as aluminium with a nonstick coating, to be kept away from metal utensils and abrasive cleaners; the coating itself is not named. Left paused, the air fryer turns off after 30 minutes. With no function running it clears its settings and turns off after three minutes, and it shuts down by itself if it overheats.In the manual: Getting to know your air fryer, note; Automatic Shutoff; Overheat Protection; Care.What wears a coating, and when a part is finished
Error codes and display states
Only what this manufacturer publishes, and only for this manufacturer. A code means whatever the firmware author decided it means, and reading one across from another brand is the commonest way to misdiagnose a fault.
Component fault
E1\E21- What the manual says it means
- An open circuit in the temperature monitor. The single-zone model publishes the two codes together rather than separating upper and lower as the twin-zone model does.
- What to do
- The manual offers no user action and directs the reader to customer support.
- Can it be reset?
- The manual does not say
- Does it need service?
- Yes, the manual says so
Stop using it and contact the manufacturer

Component fault
Dark smoke from the appliance
- What the manual says it means
- The manufacturer treats dark smoke as one of two things: burnt food, or a circuit problem. Notably they do NOT treat it as normal.
- What to do
- Wait for the smoke to clear before pulling the basket out. If the cause was not burnt food, contact customer support.
- Can it be reset?
- The manual does not say
- Does it need service?
- The manual does not say
Stop, unplug, and let it cool
Smoke from a mains appliance drawing around 1.7kW is not a nuisance to be waved away. Switch it off and unplug it at the wall. Opening the drawer immediately admits air to whatever is smoking, which is why the manufacturer says to wait. If there is any flame, or a smell of burning plastic or electrical insulation, do not use the appliance again and contact the manufacturer.

Faults the manual documents, as printed
Only what the manufacturer publishes. AirfryerHQ does not invent the meaning of an error code, and where a manual documents one undifferentiated fault state that is what appears here.
“E1\E21”
An open circuit in the temperature monitor.
Contact customer support. The manual offers no user action.
“E2\E22”
A short circuit in the temperature monitor.

Dark smoke from the appliance
Either burnt food, or a circuit problem. The manual does not treat smoke as normal.
Wait for the smoke to clear before pulling the basket out. If the cause was not burnt food, contact customer support.
A plastic smell from a new appliance
The manual states that a plastic smell from the manufacturing process is normal on a new appliance, framing it as a property of the product class rather than of this model.
Run the appliance empty as a test run, following the manual's instructions. If the smell persists after that, contact customer support.
Replaceable parts
AirfryerHQ holds no replacement-part details for Cosori Dual Blaze 6.4L Smart Air Fryer. That is a statement about this catalogue rather than about the appliance: its removable parts can wear or be lost like any other machine’s, and the manual read for this model does not list them with references we could record. What can be replaced, and what to ask for covers the general case, including where to find the model number a parts desk will ask you for.
Recall and safety status
No recall known to us at the review date
No entry for this model was found in the OPSS product safety register when it was searched for air fryers on 13 August 2026. That is a statement about that search and not a clearance.
No verified recall or safety notice is currently recorded in AirfryerHQ for this appliance. That is a statement about this catalogue and not about the product: AirfryerHQ holds a small number of checked alerts and is not a copy of the UK register. Check the authority's own register before concluding that an appliance is unaffected.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards publishes the UK register of product safety alerts, reports and recalls on GOV.UK, and Electrical Safety First operates a recall checker for electrical appliances. Registering an appliance with its manufacturer is what makes a direct notification possible.
Finding the manual
The document read for this page is Cosori Dual Blaze 6.4L Smart Air Fryer CAF-P583S-KUK — User Manual (PDF), retrieved on 2026-08-13. A different revision, or a booklet for another market, may not match it.
The twelve function defaults are published as a table with the note that results may vary. They are starting points the manufacturer chose, not validated times for a stated quantity, and the model page keeps that distinction.
About this model
A conventional single-drawer air fryer whose manual is more forthcoming than most. It publishes a default temperature and time for all twelve panel functions, states its settable range as 80-205°C, and carries two troubleshooting entries — on dark smoke and on the plastic smell of a new appliance — that no other manual in this catalogue addresses directly.
