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 counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

KNOW YOUR AIR FRYER
Prepare your favorite foods and snacks in a quick, healthy, and easy way with your new Kalorik air fryer. This air fryer uses high-speed hot air circulation to cook your ingredients from all sides, simultaneously! It also allows you to prepare a variety of tasty dishes  without the addition of excess oils or fats to most ingredients. This air fryer features:

• A touch-sensitive control panel with 13 preset menus.
• A digital control of the cooking time and temperature.
• A temperature control range of 170°F – 400°F
• A timer range from 0 to 60 minutes, which is equipped with an auto shut-off feature. Once the timer reaches “0:00”, the unit will beep five times, cool down, and turn itself off.

Other great advantages provided by your Kalorik Air Fryer include:

• Fast cooking, with little to no preheating required.
• Quick and easy clean-up: the non-stick coated parts are conveniently sized to fit in the dishwasher.
• Hassle-free frying—no spatters, no mess, and no oil smell!
• Versatility—with its frying, baking, grilling, and roasting capacities, this unit serves as a great cooking tool for a busy kitchen.
• No assembly required—very easy and safe to use!

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

• Unpack the appliance and its accessories (food basket and trivet).
  Wash the accessories 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 your air fryer on a flat, stable 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 your air fryer heat for about 20 minutes without any food in it. This helps to eliminate grease that may have adhered during manufacturing and remove 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 and does not affect the safety of your product.
  Caution: When moving your air fryer, make sure that you hold it securely and support the base — do not rely on the food basket handle when moving your air fryer!

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Preparing for use

• Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, and level surface.
  Make sure that the surface is heat resistant and that your air fryer is also positioned at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from any surrounding objects.

• Make sure that the trivet is securely placed inside the food basket.

• Use the trivet handle, located in the center of the trivet, to easily insert or remove from the basket.

• Insert the plug into a wall socket. The unit will beep once and the Start/Stop button will light up to indicate your air fryer is now ready for use.

Caution!

• Do not fill the food basket with oil or any other liquid, as this creates the risk of a fire hazard.
• Never use your air fryer without the trivet 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.

Using the appliance
Your air fryer can be used to prepare a large variety of foods. Please refer to the table in the Using the Presets section for basic cooking times, or explore a wide list of delicious recipes in the included recipe book.

1. Pull the handle to carefully remove the food basket from your air fryer. Make sure the trivet is secured in place.

2. Place your ingredients in the food basket.
   Do not overfill the basket as this could affect the quality of your cooking results.

3. Slide the basket back into your air fryer.
   Caution! Do not touch the food basket, trivet, or the inside of your air fryer during and immediately after use, as they will be extremely hot. Only hold the food basket by its handle. Remember to always use oven mitts, the unit will be HOT!
   Tip: You can cook in your air fryer without using the trivet inside of the food basket. For recipes without trivet refer to the recipe book provided.

4. Plug the cord into a wall outlet. The appliance will beep once and only the Start/Stop key will turn on.

5. To turn on your air fryer, touch the Start/Stop key. The appliance will emit one longer beep and the entire control panel will light up.

6. The default time and temperature will show on the screen: 20min/360°F.

7. Touch the M (menu) key to select among the 13 available presets: chicken breast, wings, steak, burger, fish, shrimp, tofu, fries, veggies, corn, pastry, pizza, and reheat.
   12 presets can be selected using the M key. For reheat preset, touch the reheat icon key instead. It is located on the top right corner of the control panel.
   • Each preset has its own preset time/temperature (see Using the Presets section)
   • As you move through the presets, only the preset you are currently selecting will be lit, the rest will be off.
   • The bottom icons: Time/Temp, Menu, Start/Stop, and / (Increase/Decrease) will always be lit except when the unit is off (only Start/Stop key is lit).

8. Time and temperature can be adjusted as desired by touching the / adjustment keys:
   – Switch between time and temperature by touching the Time/Temp key.
   – Maximum cooking time is 60 minutes.
   – Maximum temperature can be set at 400°F.
   – A single touch will increase/decrease cooking temperature. If you leave any of the keys continually pressed, temperature will increase/decrease rapidly.

9. Once you have selected your desired preset or custom time/temperature, touch the Start/Stop key to begin the cooking process.
   o The fan icon will turn on to indicate the appliance has started to generate hot air.
   o The preset selected, reheat, and bottom icons will stay on for the remainder of the cooking process.
   o The timer will start counting down from your selected time.

Note:

• While cooking, excess oil and juices from the ingredients will collect in the food basket. Please note this is normal and expected to happen.

Tips:

• Some recipes require shaking the food in the basket halfway through the cooking process to achieve optimal results.
  o Pull the basket out of the appliance using the handle.
  o Gently, but firmly, shake the ingredients inside the basket.
  o Slide the basket back into your air fryer and continue to cook.

• For recipes that require ingredients to be shaken halfway through the cooking process, split your cooking time into 2 phases. This will allow you to know when to remove the basket and shake the ingredients. Once you have shaken your food, insert the  basket, touch the Start/Stop button to enter stand-by mode* and select your time and temperature to complete the second half of the cooking process.

Stand-by mode: Initial screen where you can select from all presets or choose desired time/temperature.
Pausing the cooking process:

• You can pull the basket out at any time to check on your food. Your air fryer will pause the cooking process automatically and resume after you slide the basket back into the appliance. Pulling the basket briefly in the middle of your cooking process will not  affect your results because the rapid hot air technology will instantly reheat the inner cavity of the appliance.
• You can also pause the cooking process manually by touching the Start/Stop key once while the unit is in use. Touch again to resume your cycle.

Once the cooking time has elapsed, the appliance will beep 5 times to indicate that the cooking process has ended.

• The inner fan will stay on for approximately 20-25 seconds after the timer elapses for cooling purposes.

You can manually stop the cooking process or switch the appliance off at any time by leaving the Start/Stop key pressed for 2-3 consecutive seconds. After 3 seconds the appliance will emit a single beep, cool down, and then turn off completely (only Start/Stop  key will stay on).
Caution! After air frying, the basket and ingredients will be VERY HOT! Additionally, depending on the type of the ingredients used, steam may escape out of the unit. Be mindful of scalding and always wear kitchen gloves for protection.

Tips:

• To remove large or fragile ingredients, use a pair of tongs to extract your food from the basket. Use tongs or utensils with heat-resistant plastic tips. Avoid metallic tips or utensils as they may scratch the coating off the basket and the trivet.
• To remove the trivet from the basket, wait until the basket has completely cooled off. Grab the trivet handle, located in the middle of the trivet, and pull it out.
• Always use heat-resistant gloves to manipulate the basket, trivet, or cooking accessories.
• When a batch of food is ready, your air fryer will instantly be ready to be used 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.

  Note: These settings are suggestions. Cooking time and temperature may need to be adjusted.
  Tips:

  • Any food that can be prepared in a traditional oven can also be prepared in your air fryer.
  • Shaking ingredients halfway through the cooking process improves results and can help prevent unevenly air-fried food.
  • A larger amount of ingredients requires a slightly longer preparation time; a smaller amount of ingredients requires a slightly shorter reparation time.
  • If food tends to stick to the trivet or sides of the basket, add cooking oil spray on the basket and trivet prior to adding your food.
  • 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 your air fryer basket if you want to bake a cake or quiche or if you want to air fry delicate or filled ingredients.

Memory Setting
Your air fryer includes a memory feature that will pick up your cooking process where you left it off in case you unplug the appliance while it is in use. It will remember your selected preset, or custom time/temperature and resume the cooking cycle automatically.
This feature also applies when you have a power shortage. If you wish to start a new cycle, long press the Start/Stop key for 2-3 seconds to turn the unit off, press it again to enter stand-by mode, and select your new cooking preferences.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Your air fryer does
not work| The appliance is not plugged in.| Put the main plug in an earthed wall socket.
The basket is not
properly locked.| Push the basket back in your air fryer properly until it locks  in place.
The ingredients fried
with your air fryer
are not done.| There is too much
food in the basket.| Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
The set temperature is too low.| Increase temperature with the increase key
The cooking time is too short.| Increase time with the increase key
Fried snacks are not
crispy when they
come out of your
air fryer.| You used a type of snack meant  to be prepared in a traditional deep fryer.| Use snacks made to be prepared in the oven, or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crispier result.
I cannot slide the
basket into the
appliance properly.| There is too much
food in the basket.| Do not fill the basket to capacity.
White smoke
comes out of the
appliance.| You are preparing greasy  ingredients.| When you fry greasy ingredients in your air fryer, a large  amount of oil will leak into the bottom of the basket. The oil  produces white smoke and the pan may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the appliance or the end result.
The pan still contains grease  residues from previous use.| White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the basket;  make sure you clean the trivet and basket thoroughly after  each use.
Fresh fries are fried
unevenly in the Air
Fryer.| You did not use the right type of potato.| Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying.
You did not rinse the potato  sticks properly before you fried them.| Rinse the potato sticks thoroughly to remove starch from the outside of the sticks.
Fresh fries are not
crispy when they
come out of the Air
Fryer.| The crispiness of the fries  depends on the amount of oil  and water in the fries.| Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before you add the oil.
Cut the potatoes into thinner sticks for a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
