Tips

When setting up the Maxx Air fryer oven, always make sure the sliding crumb tray is inserted prior to starting your cooking process. Rinse and clean the sliding crumb tray after every use.
When cooking foods that may drip crumbs or grease during the cooking process, make sure to place the baking/drip pan on the lowest slot.
This will help maintain the unit as clean as possible and protect the lower heating elements.
Use the silicone mat to rest your accessories after use.
Use the included tongs and oven mitts to handle hot foods and accessories safely.

Using the Rotisserie Spit

Insert the rotisserie spit through the center of the food lengthwise.
Slide the forks onto each side of the spit and secure them in place by tightening the screws provided.
Make sure the forks are securely inserted and food is centered on the spit.
Use the rotisserie handle to lift the rotisserie rod.

The hooks of the rotisserie handle should be placed under the grooves on both sides of the rod.
Make sure the long end of the rod is on the right side of the handle, and the short-indented side is on the left side of the handle.

Open the oven doors. Slide the accessory in the cavity.
Insert the right side (long end) of the rod in the rotisserie spit support.
Then, place the left side (short, indented end of the rod) on the left hook inside the cavity.

CAUTION: Rotisserie accessories are very sharp and will likely get very hot during the cooking process.
Be careful and use oven mitts to avoid personal injury.

WARNING: Place all ingredients on the racks, rotisserie spit or basket in a way to prevent any contact with the appliance’s heating elements. Do not overfill.

OVEN

This mode is for use of the bake, broil, pastry, pizza, proof, roast, and toast functions.
Place the baking tray or rack with food inside the oven.
Use the selector dial to scroll through the presets, when desired preset is flashing, press the Start/Stop button to confirm the preset and start cooking.
As with any traditional oven, the bake functions generate more heat in the back than in the front, near the doors.
To ensure more even results, we suggest rotating your baked goods 180° halfway through the cooking time when using oven functions.
You can do this by simply rotating the baking pan or rack with the food inside.
Another alternative for certain foods is to use the Air frying functions which circulates air and allows more even heat distribution and faster results.
It is recommended to adjust for 5-10 minutes faster cooking times and/or a 10-25°F decrease in cooking temperature when air frying baked foods for the first time.

Place the baking / drip tray underneath the air rack or basket as there is a chance food may drip during the cooking process. The baking pan will help catch any grease or crumbs.
Baking refers to a wide variety of cooking modes, which is why there are 2 baking levels ideal for different types of baking. All bakeware baking (cakes, loaves, muffins) should preferably be done on the level
1, indicated by BAKE 1 on the door, placed on the baking rack. Baking free- form loaves, cookies, sandwiches, and roasting should be done on the baking pan on the 2nd level, indicated by BAKE 2 on the door, which allows for a gentler heat distribution on flat baking pans.
Press start/stop, select the Oven mode, and use the selector dial to choose the desired preset you wish to use.
Press the Start/Stop button for confirmation.
Once started, the selected preset will blink until the desired temperature has been attained, and then remain steady throughout
the remainder of the cooking time. This lets you know when your oven is ready for use!
Temperature and time can be adjusted by pressing the knob when the preset is flashing.
Press it once to change time and twice to change temperature. Turn it clockwise to increase and anti-clockwise to lower.
When done, press the Start/Stop button to confirm.
Time can be adjusted from 1 to 90 minutes and temperature from 140°F to 450°F (can vary depending on the selected preset).

These are meant to serve as basic cooking guidelines to help you get the most out of your Kalorik MAXX air fryer oven. Additional notes for each food are found on the next page.
Most recipes, unless otherwise indicated, require either to rotate, flip, or turn food halfway through the cooking process to provide more even results.
*Internal temperatures as recommended by FDA, other doneness standards are indicative only.
**When in doubt, use BAKE at the recommended time and temperature provided by your recipe when baking loaves, pies, cakes, and other larger foods that require thorough internal cooking.
See additional cooking notes on the next page.

Food	Notes:
Chicken breast	Place baking / drip tray on the lowest level to catch falling

grease and juices. Spray air frying basket with cooking oil before placing breasts. Maximum recommended capacity is 3 10 oz breasts. Add an additional 1-2 minutes for each additional oz/breast. Remember to flip halfway through the cooking process.
Chicken tenderloins| Place baking / drip tray on the lowest level to catch any falling juices or breading (if marinated). Spray air frying basket with cooking oil before placing tenderloins on the basket. Add an additional 1-2 minutes for each additional oz. Maximum recommended capacity is 4 bone-in chicken thighs. Flip halfway through the cooking process.
Chicken thighs (bone-in)| Place baking / drip tray on the lowest level to catch falling grease and juices. Add an additional 1-2 minutes for each additional oz. Maximum recommended capacity is 4 bone-in chicken thighs (no drumstick attached). Flip halfway through the cooking process.
Chicken wings (fresh)| Place baking / drip tray on the lowest level to catch falling grease and juices. Can place last few minutes, or an additional 2 minutes, on 4th (FAST AIR FRY) level if planning to glaze and get crispy wings. Max recommended amount is 8 whole wings.
Fish| Recommended to spray basket with non-stick cooking spray. Fish should be opaque once cooked through.
Pork loin| Place baking / drip tray on the lowest level to catch falling grease and juices. Add an additional 2-3 minutes for each additional oz.
Tofu| For drained, extra-firm tofu. Drain overnight if necessary, to ensure the crispiest results. Flip halfway through cooking time.
Meatloaf (Beef)**| For a freeform loaf: Recommended to wrap loosely in tinfoil to avoid excessive browning in Air Fry function. For a loaf in a pan: recommended bake function. You can cover the pan loosely in tinfoil to avoid excessive browning and uncover in the last 5-10 minutes to help crisp up the top. Recipes will vary.
Baked potato| No need to wrap with foil, but poking holes with a fork will provide best results, as well as covering outside with a little bit of oil to help skin crisp up.
Mac and cheese (baked)| Assumes cooked macaroni, only used for finishing off the recipe as in a baked mac and cheese recipe. This is good for adding a nice broil to your mac and cheese and help the cheese melt. For less browning, cover tightly with foil.
Grilled cheese| Butter outside of the bread and flip halfway through cooking time. Try to avoid going near the sides of the baking pan as it may lead to unwanted marks on the bread.
Frozen pizza (thin crust)| Rotate the air rack 180° halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. Pizza should be ready when all the cheese is melty, and crust is warm.
Frozen pizza
(thick crust)| Rotate the air rack 180° halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. Pizza should be ready when all the cheese is melty, and crust is warm.
---|---
Frozen fish sticks| Shake the fish sticks halfway through cooking time for maximum crispiness. No preheating necessary.
Frozen chicken nuggets| Shake the nuggets halfway through cooking time for maximum crispiness.
No preheating necessary.
Frozen mozzarella sticks| Shake the mozzarella sticks halfway through cooking time to ensure maximum crispiness. Use baking pan to prevent cheese drippings.
Careful not to overcook, as it may cause cheese to leak.
Chocolate chip cookies| Rotate baking pan 180° halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. Turning the pan upside down and placing it on a higher level helps to give the cookies a little more distance from the heating element to ensure a more uniform heating.
Cake| Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Different pan materials and sizes will yield different results.
Check doneness 5 minutes before the end of the minimum recommended for your recipe and add time as needed. Preheat oven for 5 minutes.
Quick bread| Rotate the loaf pan 180° halfway through cooking. Insert toothpick to check for doneness. Baking times will vary based on size of loaf and type of pan used. Preheat 5 minutes.
Muffins| Rotate the baking rack 180° halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. Muffins should be done once an inserted toothpick comes out cleanly. Preheat 5 mins.
Pie| Cover the pie loosely with foil if it starts to brown too much. Air Fry works best for a crispier pie and Bake for a softer pie. Preheat oven for 5 minutes.

*Dehydration:**

Food	Thickness	Accessory	Level	Setting	Temperature	Time
Apples	1/16″-1/8″	Dehydration tray + Air Frying Basket	5th (DEHYDRATOR) +
3rd (AIR FRY)	Dehydrate	135°F	3 ½ hours

+ 2-4 hours

+2-4 hours

Accessories vary by model.

To use your MAXX as a dehydrator: Slide the 2-in-1 dehydrator/steak tray into the top level. Place the Air frying basket in the 3rd level for best air flow.
Additional time will lead to crispier results. Times will vary depending on initial thickness.
We recommend checking the doneness of your dehydrated foods at the initial cooking time indicated and adding afterwards as needed when dehydrating a type of food for the first time.
