11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or where it could touch another heated oven.
12. When operating the oven keep at least four inches of space on all sides of the oven to allow for adequate air circulation.
13. Always operate on a stable, heat resistant surface. Do not use on a cloth-covered surface, near curtains or other flammable materials.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
17. 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.

SAFETY TIPS

1. When in use, always use oven mitts or potholders when touching any outer or inner surface of the oven, or when handling accessories.
2. To reduce risk of fire, keep oven interior clean and free of food, oil, grease and any other combustible materials.
3. 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.
4. 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.

  • Press the Oven Light button again to turn off manually.
  • The light turns off automatically after 30 seconds.

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:

1. Select a temperature and turn the oven on without adding your food yet.
2. Preheat until the set temperature stops blinking in the control panel.
3. 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.
