IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
- READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
- Check that your mains voltage corresponds to that stated on the appliance.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against electrical shock, fire or personal injury, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the appliance in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
- 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.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
- Do not use outdoors. This appliance is for HOUSHOLD USE ONLY.
- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or where it could touch another heated oven.
- When operating the oven keep at least four inches of space on all sides of the oven to allow for adequate air circulation.
- Always operate on a stable, heat resistant surface. Do not use on a cloth-covered surface, near curtains or other flammable materials.
- Do not place the oven near the edge of a bench or table during operation. Ensure the surface is level, clean and free of water, flour, etc.
- Do not move an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids. Use extreme caution when moving accessories containing hot liquids or other hot ingredients.
- Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
- Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the Air Fryer Oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
- A fire may occur if the Air Fryer Oven 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. Do not operate under cabinets.
- Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.
- Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of other than metal or glass.
- Do not store any materials in this oven when not in use.
- Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, and the like.
- Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This causes the oven to overheat.
- Do not leave unit unattended while in use, especially when toasting or broiling.
- Use extreme caution when disposing of hot grease.
- Always wear protective, insulated oven gloves when inserting or removing items from the hot oven.
- To disconnect, press the On/Off icon to ensure everything is OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Do not attempt to dislodge food when the air fryer oven is plugged into electrical outlet.
- Do not rest cooking utensils or baking dishes on the glass door.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SAFETY TIPS
- When in use, always use oven mitts or potholders when touching any outer or inner surface of the oven, or when handling accessories.
- To reduce risk of fire, keep oven interior clean and free of food, oil, grease and any other combustible materials.
- Do not use sharp metal utensils such as knives or forks to remove food residue from the heating elements as this can damage the appliance as well as lead to electrocution.
- Do not store any materials in or on the oven when not in use.
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 and accessories and wash and wipe everything down. Wipe the interior of the oven with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry with a paper towel. Make sure the oven is dry before operating.
- Position the oven on a flat and heat resistant surface, at least 4 inches (10cm) away from any surrounding object.
- Unwind and plug in the power cord into the wall outlet. Place the crumb tray inside on the bottom of the unit. Make sure unit is clean and everything has been taken out of the oven.
- To eliminate any packing oil that may remain after production, we recommend operating the appliance for 20 minutes on its maximum temperature setting. It is normal if some smoke or smell emanates from the appliance when using it for the first time. This is not harmful.
Tips:
- Accessory positioning: : the air fryer oven has three rack positions for different foods and settings: top, middle, and bottom.
- Place the baking pan on the lowest level when cooking with the air frying basket or air rack. The baking pan will catch any grease or crumbs during the cooking cycle.
- Always place the crumb tray on the bottom of the cavity, under the first level.

Notes:
- Although oil is not necessary, a small portion of oil can be sprayed on or brushed on food for air frying. Make sure to distribute oil evenly on food.
- Flip food halfway to ensure even cooking.
- Food will cook more evenly if cut into the same size piece.
- When air frying greasy food, grease will drain into the baking/drip tray. As a precaution, allow hot grease to cool in the unit before removing the baking tray.
- Some foods release water and juices as it cooks. When cooking large quantities for an extended period, condensation may build up and may leave moisture.
TIPS
In addition to air frying, the air fryer oven can be used for baking,
broiling, roasting and more. See below for tips and recommendations:
- When using the air fryer oven, cooking times may need to be reduced due to the convection fan’s high speed. Check on the food about 5 to 10 minutes before the set cooking time finishes.
- The Kalorik Digital Air Fryer Oven can be used to cook cakes and baked goods, roast meats, and cook frozen meals.
For best results when cooking on your air fryer oven:
- Select a temperature and turn the oven on without adding your food yet.
- Preheat until the set temperature stops blinking in the control panel.
- Insert your food.
- Use the air rack for fresh and frozen pizza.
- When making baked goods in the oven, use the baking pan on the lowest level.
- The Kalorik Digital Air Fryer Oven can also be used to broil small cuts of meat, open sandwiches, poultry, fish and vegetables. Preheat until selected temperature stops blinking (we recommend setting at highest temperature 450°F), and then set the tray in the top rack.
- To roast vegetables and meat, we recommend using the air frying basket on the 2nd level and setting the temperature to 400°F. Times will vary depending on the size and quantity of your food.
- To toast, use the TOAST preset and place your bread on the air rack on the top rack. Flip your food halfway through the cooking cycle to evenly toast on both sides.
- Caution: Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the accessories. If covered, the foil prevents the fat from dripping into the drip tray. Grease will accumulate on the foil surface and may catch fire. If you choose to use foil to cover the Baking Pan, be sure foil is cut to neatly fit into the pan and does not touch the wall or heating elements.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Clean the appliance after each use to prevent the accumulation of grease and help avoid unpleasant smells.
- Make sure the unit has been turned off. Unplug the appliance from the outlet and allow it to cool completely.
- Clean the removable crumb tray after use.
- Do not immerse in water or wash under running water.
- The accessories should be hand washed in hot, sudsy water. They are not dishwasher safe. If food gets baked or cooked on, you can let them soak in soapy water for 15 to 30 minutes to facilitate cleaning.
- Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the non-stick coating. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.
Inside cleaning
- Wipe inner cavity with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry with paper towel. To remove baked on food, pour a little cooking oil on the food, and allow to stand for five to ten minutes. This should soften the food and allow it to be removed with absorbent paper towels or a soft cloth.
- Clean the inside of the glass door with a damp soapy cloth. If the glass has stubborn stains, open the door and cover the inside of the door with a few damp paper towels. Leave for a few minutes, remove the towels, and wipe door clean. Never use sharp utensils as scratching may weaken it and cause it to shatter.
- Never use abrasive products in the inner cavity.
- Never immerse the appliance in water and make sure no water or any liquid penetrates the appliance (except the inner cavity).
- Make sure no water comes on the oven door when it is still hot.
- Clean the removable crumb tray after each use. Excess food particles could cause smoking and will be hard to remove from tray. To remove baked on grease or burnt food particles you can soak the removable crumb tray in hot study water for some minutes and then remove the residue. Never operate the oven without the tray in place.
Outside Cleaning
- Wipe clean with a damp sponge. Wipe dry
- NEVER use steel wool, metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish.
