IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE!

1. Check that the voltage in your home corresponds to that stated on the appliance.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, fire or personal injury, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the appliance in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. As a rule, this appliance is not intended to be used by children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
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 a hot gas or electric burner or stovetop, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used 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 wall outlet.
13. Do not use the appliance for anything other than 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, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.
16. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.
17. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of other than metal or glass.
18. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturers recommended accessories, in this appliance when not in use.
19. Do not place any of the following materials in the appliance: paper, cardboard, plastic, and the like.
20. Do not cover the cooking basket or any part of the MAXX Air Fryer with metal foil. This causes overheating of the MAXX Fryer.
21. Do not leave unit unattended when in use.
22. Use extreme caution when removing the basket or trivet and disposing of hot grease.
23. The MAXX Air Fryer can be turned off while using any of the functions by pressing the Start/Stop button.
24. During hot air frying, hot steam is released through the air outlet openings. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the steam and from the air outlet openings. Also, be careful of hot steam and air when you remove the pan from the appliance.
25. Immediately unplug the appliance if you see dark smoke coming out of the appliance. Wait for the smoke emission to stop before you remove the pan from the appliance.
26. Do not place the appliance against a wall or against other appliances.
27. Leave at least 6 inches (15 cm) of free space on the back, sides and above the appliance.

Caution!!

• Always place the appliance on a horizontal, level, heat resistant and stable surface.
• This appliance is intended for normal household use only.
• Always unplug the appliance after use.
• Let the appliance cool down for at least 30 minutes before handling or cleaning it.
• The appliance is equipped with a safety micro switch inside that will shut the appliance off automatically if the basket is removed during cooking.
  SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

•  Unpack the appliance. Wash the basket and trivet in hot, soapy water and then wipe them dry. Wipe the interior of the frying cavity with a damp cloth or sponge, and then dry with a paper towel. Make sure the cavity is dry before operating the unit.
• Position the MAXX Air Fryer on a flat, level and heat-resistant surface. Make sure that it is also positioned at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from any surrounding objects.
• It is recommended to let the MAXX Air Fryer heat for about 20 minutes without any food in it. This helps to eliminate grease that may have adhered during manufacturing, and to eliminate the “new” appliance smell.
• Ventilate the room during this period. When your Air Fryer is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odor.
• This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety of your appliance.
  Caution: When moving the MAXX Air Fryer, make sure that you hold it securely and support the base—do not rely on the food basket handle when moving the fryer!

USING YOUR MAXX AIR FRYER

Control panel

1. Time/Temperature: Use this button to select and adjust the cooking time and temperature before or during cooking.
2. Start/Stop: Use this button to start and stop the cooking process. Press after selecting a preset or after adjusting cooking time and temperature to start cooking. Stop cooking at any time by pressing the button again.
3. Dial: Use to navigate the presets and to adjust time and temperature. Turn left to decrease and right to increase. Turning the dial will increase or decrease the cooking time rapidly by increments of 1 minute and temperature by 5 degrees Fahrenheit.

Preparing for use

• Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, and level surface. Make sure that the surface is heat resistant and that the MAXX Air Fryer is also positioned at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from any surrounding objects.
• If your recipe requires the trivet, make sure that the trivet is securely placed inside the basket use the trivet handle located in the center of the trivet to easily insert or remove it from the basket.
• Insert the power plug into a wall socket. Your MAXX Fryer is now ready for use!

Caution!

• Do not fill the food basket with oil or any other liquid, 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 any contact with the appliance’s heating elements. Do not overfill the food basket.
• Do not cover the air inlet on the top or the air outlet on the back of the unit while the appliance is in use.
• Do not touch the inside of the appliance while it is 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 trivet coated in a double layer of non-stick coated, for ultimate performance and durability.
• The trivet allows an optimal circulation of hot air around your food, for a golden, crispy finish. Use the trivet when air frying, reheating or to get perfectly golden-brown foods.
• Place oven-safe cooking containers or use the included accessories on top of the trivet to bake or cook your favorite meals.
• The MAXX Air Fryer can also be used without the trivet for added versatility. Use the basket without the trivet for stir fries, Yorkshire pudding, roasted chicken and more!

Using the appliance
Your MAXX Air Fryer can be used to prepare a large variety of foods. Please refer to the table in the “Settings” section for basic cooking times, for complete recipes please refer to the included recipe book or visit our website.

• Make sure your MAXX Air Fryer is plugged in.
• Pull the handle to carefully remove the food basket from unit.
• Put the ingredients that you will be air-frying into the basket, on top of the trivet or in the bottom of the basket, depending on ingredients and/or cooking method.

Note: Never fill the basket to capacity or exceed the recommended amounts, as this could affect the quality of cooking.
Slide the basket back into the Air Fryer.
Caution! Do not touch the food basket, trivet or the inside of the MAXX Air Fryer during and immediately after use, as they get very hot. Only hold the food basket by its handle. Always use oven mitts. Unit is hot!

• Determine the required preparation time and cooking temperature for the ingredients you are using (see section ‘Settings’ for reference).
• Select a preset by turning the dial until desired preset is highlighted.
• Press the Start/Stop button to begin cooking.
• If you need to adjust the cooking time, press the Time/Temp button once to select cooking time and use the dial to increase or decrease the cooking time.
• Press the Time/Temp button again to select and adjust the cooking temperature. Use the dial to adjust it as needed.
• Once cooking time and temperature have been selected, press the Start/Stop button to start cooking.
• The spinning “Fan” icon will turn on and start to blink continuously indicating that the unit is working. The timer will start counting down the set time.
  Note: During the air frying process, a subtle click sound indicates that the set temperature has been reached and the heating element turns off.

This sound will be heard multiple times during operation indicating that the set temperature is being maintained.
The preset selected will blink on the screen until said temperature has been reached and then will stay on for the rest of the cooking process.

• During cooking, excess oil and cooking juices from the ingredients will collect in the basket. This is to be expected.

• Some recipes require shaking the food in the basket halfway through the set time (see section ’Settings’). To shake the ingredients, pull the basket out of the appliance using the handle. Then gently, but firmly, shake it. Slide the basket back into the MAXX Air Fryer and continue to cook.
  Note: Because the rapid hot air technology instantly reheats the air inside of the appliance, pulling the basket briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying will not disturb the cooking process.
  Tip: Sometimes, it is easier to divide cooking times into 2 phases for recipes that require the basket to be shaken mid-cooking. If you set the timer to half the required cooking time, you will hear the timer go off when you have to shake the ingredients.
  Tip: If you set the timer to the full cooking time, the timer will not go off until cooking is completed. You can pull the basket out at any time to check the cooking condition of the ingredients. The power will shut down automatically and resume after you slide the basket back into the appliance. Note that the timer stops counting down automatically in this situation.

• When you hear the timer (5 beeps), the cooking time has elapsed, and the word “End” will display on the screen. Using oven mitts and the basket handle, pull the basket out of the appliance and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
  Note: You can also switch the appliance off at any time.
  To do this, simply press the Start/Stop button. The unit cools down for 15 seconds while displaying ‘OFF’ on the screen after which the unit will beep again.

• Check to see if the ingredients are ready. If they are not ready, simply slide the basket back into the appliance and set the timer for a few extra minutes.
  Caution! After hot air frying, the basket, the trivet (if using one) and the ingredients will be hot! Depending on the type of the ingredients in the MAXX Air Fryer, steam may escape out of the unit. Be mindful of scalding and wear kitchen gloves for safety.

• Holding the basket by the handle, empty the air-fried food into a bowl or onto a plate.
  Tip: To remove large or fragile ingredients, you may use a pair of tongs to lift the ingredients out of the basket. Use tongs or utensils with heat- resistant plastic tips, as metallic tips or utensils may scratch the coating of the basket.

• When a batch of food is ready, the MAXX Air Fryer is instantly ready for preparing another batch.
  IMPORTANT: If you notice the fan is not operating once the product starts cooking (no noise or airflow), please discontinue usage immediately and contact Customer Service.

Using the preset menus:

• 21 preset functions for easy set up!
• To select a preset, move through the menu using the dial, once you reach your desired preset, press Start/Stop to start cooking.
• If needed, you can adjust cooking time and temperature of the preset by pressing the Time/Temp button and using the dial. Press the
  Start/Stop button to begin air frying. The time and temperature settings can be adjusted at any time when using the preset menus below:

Defrost Function

• It is very important that the unit is cold when you start defrosting and not warm from a previous use. If the unit has been recently used and is still warm, the heat can be passed onto the food you are using to defrost and spoil the food.
• Do not use any other preset to defrost food other than the defrost function.
• Place the frozen food in a single layer and turn it over halfway through the defrosting process.
• Always cook immediately after thawing.
• Do not leave food at room temperature once it is defrosted, cook immediately.
• Keep in mind different types of food as well as size will vary the duration it will take to defrost. Check food accordingly.
• The temperature for this setting can be adjusted from 80°F – 140°F and time can be adjusted from 10 minutes to 60 minutes.

COOKING TIPS

The following table will help you select the basic settings for the ingredients you want to prepare. Keep in mind that the quantities suggested for better results are all single layers.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are suggestions.
Tips:

• Any food that can be prepared in a traditional oven can be prepared in the Kalorik MAXX Air Fryer.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the end-result and can help prevent unevenly air-fried food.
• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time; a smaller amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
• If some foodstuffs tend to stick at the bottom of the basket, think to add some cooking oil spray in the basket prior to adding the ingredients to cook.
• Do not prepare very greasy ingredients, such as sausages, in the air fryer as the grease could catch fire.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. “Fry” your ingredients within a few minutes after you add the oil.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the MAXX Air Fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to fry fragile or filled ingredients.
• You can also use the Maxx Air Fryer to reheat food. For reheating ingredients, set the temperature to 280°F for up to 7 minutes.

ACCESSORIES\

Baking pan

• To use the baking pan, follow the steps below:
• Brush the pan with cooking oil or spray with cooking oil spray.
• Add desired contents into the pan (cake ingredients, protein in sauce, soufflé, pot pie, etc.)
• Use the easily collapsible handle to lift and then carefully place the pan in the cooking basket.
• Close the MAXX air fryer and start cooking.
• When the cooking time has elapsed, pull open the fryer and carefully remove the pan by grabbing the handle.
• Warning: the basket, Baking pan and its handle will be hot. Make sure to wear heat-resistant kitchen gloves to remove the pan from the basket.
• Use utensils with wooden or heat-resistant plastic tips, as metallic tips or utensils may scratch the coating of the pan.
• The baking pan is dishwasher-safe or can be cleaned in hot water with mild detergent / dish soap. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean, as this may damage the non-stick coating. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.

2-in-1 air rack and skewer set

• To use the rack, place it into the cooking basket, place your ingredients on top and/or underneath it, and air fry as usual. We recommend placing your bottom layer of ingredients into the basket before setting the rack on top.

• You can use the rack to increase the cooking surface by layering food both underneath it and on top of it.

• You can also use it to cook or reheat 2 types of food simultaneously, cooking one type of food underneath the rack and another type of food on top.
  Tip : To avoid excess liquids dripping onto the bottom layer of food, place the drier ingredients on the top layer and the wetter ingredients on the bottom.

• This rack is also ideal for increasing the capacity of “flatter” foods, such as hamburgers and fish, which can be cooked at once. You can place these kinds of ingredients both under and on top of the rack.

• The dual layer rack can also be used to cook with the included metal skewers. The skewers can be placed on the upper part of the rack’s frame and are great for air frying meat, fruits, and vegetables.

Silicone mat
Place your hot accessories or cooking basket on top of the silicone mat to protect your kitchen surfaces.
