KNOW YOUR AIR FRYER OVEN

Fry, bake, toast, and broil with your Kalorik Digital Air Fryer Oven. This innovative and multifunctional appliance uses Rapid Hot Air Technology to cook food faster and make meals healthier. The air frying mechanism works by circulating super-hot air around your food. This delivers the same crispy texture and rich flavor of your favorite fried foods ⁠— with little to no oil. That means less fat and calories! The unit can also be used as your regular, everyday toaster/convection oven featuring a digital control panel with easy- to-use functions: toast, air fry, bake, and broil. It also comes with an oven inner light to monitor your food and a rotisserie spit and handle to help rotate your food for a more evenly cooked outcome. The Kalorik Digital Air Fryer Oven contains six heating elements ⁠— four on top, two on the bottom. A built-in 60-minute timer and adjustable thermostat of up to 450°F that lets you customize cooking for every dish. A built-in safety micro switch automatically stops operation when the door is open. The air fryer oven includes a drip tray/baking pan, air frying basket, baking rack, tray handle, crumb tray, rotisserie spit and rotisserie handle.

Indicator lights & Digital control panel: 

• The Power indicator light, located on the left side, turns blue once the timer is activated, indicating the unit is currently on. It is used to set desired time for all functions. Setting the oven timer powers the unit on and begins the cooking cycle.
• The Heating indicator light, located on the right side of the unit, turns orange when the unit heats up, and turns off once the set temperature is reached. It will then cycle on and off as it regulates and maintains the set temperature.
• The Control Panel features easy one-touch functions that are used to select the cooking method. See image below. Settings include: Air Fry, Broil, Bake, and Toast. The unit also features a special rotisserie function, as well as an oven light for easy monitoring.
• The rotisserie function gives you the option to place your food on the rotisserie spit to allow you to rotate and cook your food evenly inside the air fryer toaster oven. Set the rotisserie spit inside the unit with your food placed on the accessory. Use the rotisserie handle to carefully place inside and take out the rotisserie spit after your food has been cooked.
• The cooking process can be stopped at any moment by turning the timer knob back to 0.
• The safety microswitch stops the cooking operation when the door is open.
• Remember to turn the temperature knob back to the starting point after each use to make sure you are adjusting correct temperature settings for each cooking process.

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 the unit.
• Position the oven on a flat and heat resistant surface so that it is also positioned 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.
• It is normal if some smoke or smell emanates from the appliance when using it for the first time. This is not harmful. To eliminate any packing oil that may remain after production, we recommend operating the appliance for 20 minutes, putting the thermostat on its maximum temperature setting.

Tips:

• Baking rack positioning: the baking rack can be slid into any of the 3 levels available.
• Always place the baking pan / drip tray on the lowest level when cooking with the basket, rotisserie spit or baking rack. The baking pan will catch any grease or crumbs during the cooking cycle.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PREHEATING:

• Plug the unit into the power supply socket.
• Turn the temperature knob to the right to start preheating at desired temperature and set the timer to 10 minutes.

• The Heating indicator light will turn on to indicate that the unit is heating up as soon as the timer is set. When the target temperature is reached the orange Heating light will turn off and will then cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature
• You can now place your food in the oven to start the cooking process as the unit is fully preheated.

SETTINGS

BROIL FUNCTION
This mode is ideal for small cuts of meat, open sandwiches, poultry, fish, and vegetables. The broil function can also be used to brown the top dishes such as gratins or casseroles. When broiling, preheat oven for 10 minutes. We suggest using the top rack position for better results during this cooking process.

• Begin by preheating the unit. See “Preheating” section.
• Once preheated, place the baking tray or rack with food on the highest rack position (close to the top of the oven).
• Press the BROIL function on the display panel.
• Adjust the temperature knob to the desired temperature by turning the knob to the right.
• Adjust the timer knob to the desired cooking time, between 1 and 60 minutes. Once time has been set, the Power indicator light will turn on. The Air Fryer Oven starts as soon as the timer is set.
• The Heating indicator light will turn orange to indicate that the unit is heating up and will turn off once the temperature has been reached. The Heating light will then cycle on and off as it regulates and maintains the set temperature.
• When the cooking time has elapsed, the timer bell will ring, the oven will now turn off on its own.
• Carefully take your food out with oven mitts.

Note:

• Using the broil function usually requires shorter cooking time.
• Do not use glass oven dishes to broil.
•  Food gets cooked quickly during broil, it is best to watch over food to not overcook.

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/Drip Tray, be sure foil is cut to neatly fit into the pan and does not touch the wall or heating elements.

BAKE FUNCTION
Use the bake function to cook cakes, baked goods, or to roast meats. This mode can also be used with pre-packaged frozen meals. For best results when cooking and baking, we recommend preheating the oven at least for 10 minutes at the desired temperature setting.

• Begin by preheating the unit. See “Preheating” section.
• Once preheated, place the baking tray, rack, rotisserie spit or basket with food in the unit.
• Select the BAKE function on the display panel.
• Adjust the temperature knob to the desired temperature by turning knob to the right.
• Adjust the timer knob to the desired cooking time, between 1 and 60 minutes. Once time has been set, the Power indicator light will turn on.

• Carefully take your food out with oven mitts.

Note:

• Use the bake rack for fresh pizza and frozen pizza.
• Place the baking pan / drip tray on the lowest level when cooking if cooking with the basket or baking rack. The baking pan will catch any grease or crumbs during the cooking cycle.

  “Rotisserie” section) and use the handle to install the rotisserie spit in the unit. Start your cooking cycle at your desired time and temperature and press the ROTISSERIE button to turn the rotation motion on. Simply press the ROTISSERIE button again to turn off the rotisserie function.

TOAST FUNCTION

Use the toast function to toast bread to perfection: crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

• Begin by preheating the unit. See “Preheating” section.
• Once preheated, place the baking tray or rack with food in the middle slot.
• Select the TOAST function on the display panel.
• Adjust the temperature knob to the desired temperature by turning the knob to the right.

• Carefully take your food out with oven mitts.

Note:
Use the baking rack to toast items, making sure all food is centered and spaced evenly on the rack as well as placed in the middle of the oven.

AIR FRY
Use the air fry function to Air Fry as a healthy alternative to frying without the use of excess amounts of oil. This function lets you cook with less fat and calories and gives the food a lighter and less greasy taste.
Preheating is not necessary for the air fry function but can be used to speed up the cooking process. Keep in mind that preheating will interfere with recommended cooking times. If the unit is already hot, remove 3 minutes from the recommended cooking time.

• Place the baking pan / drip tray on the lowest level when cooking if cooking with the basket, rotisserie spit or baking rack. The baking pan will catch any grease or crumbs during the cooking cycle.
• Place the mesh basket or rack with food in the unit.
• Select the Air Fry function on the display control panel.

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.
• When cooking a large amount of food, it is recommended to flip food halfway to ensure even cooking.
• Place the baking pan / drip tray on the lowest level when cooking if cooking with the basket, rotisserie spit or baking rack. The baking pan will catch any grease or crumbs during the cooking cycle.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Make sure to clean the appliance after each use! Cleaning regularly prevents the accumulation of grease and helps avoid unpleasant smells.
• Make sure the unit has been turned off by switching the timer to 0 and setting the temperature knob back to the starting point. Unplug the appliance from the outlet and allow it to cool completely.
• Do not immerse in water or wash under running water.
• The accessories are dishwasher safe except for the handle which needs to be hand washed.
• 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 the cavity with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry with a 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 toweling 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, then remove the towels and wipe the door clean. Never use sharp utensils as scratching may weaken it and cause it to shatter.
• Never use abrasive products in the cavity. Never immerse the appliance in water and make sure no water or damp penetrates the appliance except the cavity.
• Make sure no water comes on the oven door when the latter is still hot.

Outside / outside door cleaning

1. Wipe clean with a damp sponge. Wipe dry
2. NEVER use steel wool, metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish.

DO NOT IMMERSE THE OVEN IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
