Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed:

1. Check that your home's voltage matches the appliance's rating.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces; use handles or knobs.
3. To prevent electrical shock, fire, or injury, do not immerse the cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children. This appliance is not intended for use by children.
5. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before removing or attaching parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if it malfunctions or has been damaged. Return it to an authorized service facility.

8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter. Do not touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near hot gas or electric burners, stovetops, or in a heated oven.
11. Use extreme caution when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. To disconnect, switch any control to "off" (or 0), then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
13. Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
14. Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the MAXX Fryer as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
15. A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable material (curtains, draperies, walls, etc.) while in operation. Do not store items on top of the appliance during operation.
16. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off and touch electrical parts, posing an electric shock risk.

22. Use extreme caution when removing the basket or trivet and disposing of hot grease.
23. The MAXX Air Fryer can be turned off at any time by pressing the Start/Stop button.
24. During hot air frying, hot steam is released through air outlet openings. Keep hands and face at a safe distance. Be careful of hot steam and air when removing the pan.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

Getting Started

Polarized Plug Instructions

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) for reduced shock risk. It fits into a polarized outlet one way only. If it doesn't fit, reverse it. If it still doesn't fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug.

Short Cord Instructions

A short power cord reduces hazards from entanglement or tripping. Extension cords may be used with care:

• The extension cord's electrical rating must be at least that of the appliance. A low rating can cause overheating and fire.
• Ensure the extended cord does not drape over countertops or tables where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.

Before the First Use

• Unpack the appliance. Wash the basket and trivet in hot, soapy water and dry them. Wipe the interior of the frying cavity with a damp cloth or sponge, then dry with a paper towel. Ensure the cavity is dry before operation.
• Position the MAXX Air Fryer on a flat, level, heat-resistant surface, at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from surrounding objects.
• It is recommended to preheat the MAXX Air Fryer for about 20 minutes without food to eliminate manufacturing grease and the "new" appliance smell. Ventilate the room during this period. Slight smoke or odor during the first use is normal.

Using Your MAXX Air Fryer

Control Panel

The control panel features a digital display and controls:

• 1. Time/Temperature Button: Use to select and adjust cooking time and temperature before or during cooking.
• 2. Start/Stop Button: Press to start or stop the cooking process. Press after selecting a preset or adjusting settings to begin. Press again to stop at any time.
• 3. Dial: Navigate presets and adjust time/temperature. Turn left to decrease, right to increase. Time adjusts in 1-minute increments, temperature in 5°F increments.

Preparing for Use

• Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, and level surface that is heat-resistant and at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from surrounding objects.
• If using the trivet, ensure it is securely placed inside the basket. Use the trivet handle for easy insertion or removal.
• Insert the power plug into a wall socket.

Caution:

• Do not fill the basket with oil or other liquids, as this may cause a fire hazard.
• Never use the MAXX Air Fryer without the food basket in place.
• Keep all ingredients in the basket to prevent contact with heating elements. Do not overfill.
• Do not cover air inlets or outlets while the appliance is in use.
• Do not touch the inside of the appliance while operating.
• Never immerse the unit's housing in water or rinse it under the tap.
• Do not use metal utensils inside the basket, as this may damage the non-stick coating.

Basket and Trivet

Your MAXX Air Fryer includes a basket and a double-layer non-stick coated trivet for performance and durability. The trivet allows optimal hot air circulation for crispy results and is used for air frying, reheating, or achieving golden-brown foods. Oven-safe containers can be placed on the trivet. The basket can also be used alone for versatility.

Using the Appliance

The MAXX Air Fryer can prepare a variety of foods. Refer to the "Settings" section for basic cooking times. For recipes, consult the included recipe book or visit the website.

• Ensure the MAXX Air Fryer is plugged in.
• Pull the handle to remove the food basket.
• Place ingredients in the basket, on the trivet or at the bottom, depending on the method. Do not overfill the basket.
• Slide the basket back into the Air Fryer.

Caution: The basket, trivet, and interior get very hot. Hold the basket by its handle and use oven mitts.

• Determine the required preparation time and cooking temperature (see "Settings").
• Select a preset by turning the dial until highlighted, then press Start/Stop to begin cooking.
• Adjust cooking time by pressing Time/Temp once and using the dial.
• Adjust cooking temperature by pressing Time/Temp again and using the dial.
• Once time and temperature are set, press Start/Stop.
• A spinning "Fan" icon indicates the unit is working; the timer counts down.
• A click sound indicates the set temperature has been reached.
• Excess oil and juices collect in the basket during cooking.
• Some recipes require shaking the basket halfway through. Pull out, shake gently, and reinsert. This does not disturb the cooking process.
• If dividing cooking time into phases for shaking, set the timer to half the required time.
• If the timer is set for the full cooking time, it will not stop until cooking is complete. You can pull the basket out to check food; the unit pauses and resumes automatically.
• When the timer beeps (5 beeps) and "End" displays, remove the basket using oven mitts and the handle, placing it on a heat-resistant surface.
• The unit can be turned off at any time by pressing Start/Stop. It will cool for 15 seconds.
• Check if ingredients are ready. If not, slide the basket back and cook for a few more minutes.

Caution: Basket, trivet, and ingredients will be hot after frying. Steam may escape. Use caution and wear heat-resistant gloves.

• Empty food into a bowl or plate using the basket handle.
• Use tongs with heat-resistant plastic tips for large or fragile ingredients to avoid scratching the basket coating.
• The air fryer is ready for the next batch immediately.

IMPORTANT: If the fan is not operating (no noise or airflow), discontinue use and contact Customer Service.

Using the Preset Menus

The air fryer offers 22 preset functions for easy setup. Select a preset using the dial and press Start/Stop to begin cooking. Time and temperature can be adjusted using the Time/Temp button and dial.

Preset Cooking Times and Temperatures

Defrost Function

• Use only the dedicated defrost function. Ensure the unit is cold.
• Place frozen food in a single layer and turn over halfway through defrosting.
• Cook immediately after thawing. Do not leave food at room temperature.
• Defrosting time varies by food type and size. Temperature can be adjusted from 80°F to 140°F, and time from 10 to 60 minutes.

Egg Function and Bonus Egg Tray

Use the included egg tray with the egg function:

• Always spray the tray with oil before use.
• Add eggs to the wells (crack directly or beat in a separate bowl first). Season with salt/pepper.
• For best results, lightly spray the tops of the eggs with cooking oil spray.
• Use the handles or a fork to carefully place the tray in the air fryer basket.
• Select the EGG preset and press Start.
• Remove the tray when time stops. Use caution and heat-resistant gloves as the tray and basket will be hot.
• Use a non-metal spatula to remove poached eggs.
• The egg tray can also be used for bite-sized omelets, frittatas, and crustless quiches.
• The egg tray is dishwasher-safe or can be hand-washed with mild detergent. Avoid metal utensils or abrasive cleaners.

Settings

The following table helps select basic settings for ingredients. Quantities suggested are for single layers. These are suggestions only.

Tips for Best Results

• Any food prepared in a traditional oven can be made in the Kalorik MAXX Air Fryer.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through cooking improves results and prevents uneven frying.
• Larger quantities may require slightly longer cooking times; smaller quantities may require slightly shorter times.
• Use cooking oil spray if food tends to stick to the basket.
• Avoid very greasy ingredients like sausages, as the grease could cause a fire.
• Add a little oil to fresh potatoes for crispier results. Fry within minutes of adding oil.
• Optimal potato quantity for fries is 500 grams / 1.2 lbs.
• Use pre-made dough for quick, filled snacks; it requires less cooking time than homemade dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the basket for cakes, quiches, or fragile/filled ingredients.
• Reheat food by setting the temperature to 290°F for 10 minutes.
