Accessory Positioning Diagrams

Follow the diagrams below to use your oven to the fullest and to achieve consistent and professional results.

Air Frying Basket

Use this accessory to air fry meals as a healthy alternative to deep-frying in oil. Can be used with all air frying presets.
Flip or shake food halfway through the cooking process to cook food evenly.
Air Frying does not require oil. A tablespoon of oil may be added to enhance flavor.
Place on position 2 to air fry and on position 3 to fast air fry.
When using this accessory for foods that may drip grease or juices, always remember to place the baking tray on position 1 so it serves as a drip tray.

Air Rack

The air rack can be used for both the air frying and oven functions.
This accessory can be used for a variety of foods including pizza or used when cooking with cake pans to place on top.
When baking with bakeware for foods like a loaf, quick bread, cake, and muffin pan, place on position 2. Anything that needs to be cooked well from the bottom, like a pie, should also be on position 2. Rule of thumb is, if you are using a pan or tin to bake, use position 2 and the air rack.
When using the oven function, we recommend rotating your rack 180° halfway through the cooking process to ensure even results.

Baking Tray

Used for baking oven function.
Ideal for smaller food bits.
Doubles as a drip tray to catch grease during cooking when slid into position 1 to catch crumbs or grease if cooking with the air frying basket or air rack on a higher level.
When using as a baking sheet for foods like cookies or grilled cheese, or other baking functions like roasting smaller cuts of food (like chicken breasts, corn dogs, etc.), place on position 2.
When using the oven function, we recommend rotating your baking tray 180° halfway through the cooking process to ensure even results.

Steak Tray

Use the steak tray to sear and caramelize your foods to perfection.
Place the steak tray on position 3 to obtain perfect searing.
Place the baking tray on position 2.
Slotted design allows excess fat to drain into the baking pan.
Use the STEAK preset when cooking steak, chops, chicken, seafood and veggies.

Dehydration

Dehydrate all types of foods with the dehydration function. Select the Dehydrate function and adjust time and temperature as needed.
Use the 2-in-1 steak and dehydrator tray. Flip the accessory upside down and slide it in the dehydrator slot (position 4). Place your food in the air fryer basket and slide it in position 2 or 3. Press the Start/Stop button to begin.
The built-in fan and low heat are used to create a flow of warm air that reduces the water content found in fresh foods.
Place food in a single layer with no overlap.
Lemon juice can be used to pretreat fruits and vegetables and prevent browning.
Use to dehydrate fruits and vegetables, or to make beef jerky, and more.

Tips

When setting up the Maxx Air fryer oven, always make sure the sliding crumb tray is inserted prior to starting your cooking process. Rinse and clean the sliding crumb tray after every use.
When cooking foods that may drip crumbs or grease during the cooking process, make sure to place the baking tray on position 1. This will help maintain the unit as clean as possible and protect the lower heating elements.

FUNCTIONS

AIR FRYER

Air frying can be used as a healthy alternative style of cooking, requiring little to no oil and using rapid hot air to cook meals faster.

Place your food on the air rack or in the air frying basket and position it inside the oven.
Close the glass door and press Start/Stop to turn on the appliance. Select the Air Fry function and use the selector dial to scroll through the presets, the presets will flash as you go by each one.
To change either the temperature or the time from your preset, press the selector dial once to change the time and once again to change the temperature. Turn the dial clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to lower.
Once you selected a preset, press Start/Stop to begin cooking. The appliance will turn ON, the unit will start the cooking process, and the timer will start counting down. The selected preset will blink until the desired temperature has been reached and will then remain steady throughout the remainder of the cooking time.

Tip: Flipping or turning food halfway through the cooking process ensures that the food is evenly cooked.

When the countdown timer reaches 0:00, the unit will beep 3 times, and the heating elements will turn off. Please note that after cooking time is done, the fan will remain on for 3 minutes for cooling purposes. "OFF OFF" will start blinking in the display until cooling process is finished.
Once the cooling process is done the unit will beep and turn off right after.
Carefully take out your food with your Kalorik oven mitts and rest the accessory with your food on the Kalorik silicone mat while you serve.
Note: the cooking process can be cancelled at any time by pressing the Start/Stop button.

Notes:

Although oil is not necessary, a small portion of oil can be sprayed on or brushed on food before air frying. Make sure to distribute oil evenly on food.
Some foods release water or oil when cooking. When cooking large quantities for an extended period, condensation may build up, which could leave moisture on your countertop.
Use the baking tray to catch dripping liquids or oil.
Position 3 will serve as fast air fry and position 2 as regular air fry. Use fast air fry for foods that require a more direct exposure to the heat source, e.g., steaks for searing and fries and/or wings for crispier results.

*Chicken

The Chicken preset is perfect for cooking a half chicken.

*Shrimp

For smaller shrimp, decrease cooking time. For larger shrimp, increase cooking time.

*Steak

Place steak tray inside the oven on position 3. Place the baking tray on position 2 to catch falling grease.
Preheat for 5 minutes.
Using your Kalorik oven mitts, carefully pull out the steak tray and place your steak on it. Put the steak tray back inside on position 3 to start cooking.
Flip your steak over halfway through the cooking process.

*Bacon

Use the baking tray on position 3.
For thick cut bacon cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

*Dehydrate

Use the 2-in-1 dehydrator and steak tray flipped 180° and slide it in position 4. Place the air frying basket underneath on either position 2 or 3.
When dehydrating remember to always take out and flip the accessory used 180° halfway through the cooking process for even results.
If using both the air frying baskets simultaneously, also remember to shuffle their rack levels halfway through the cooking process (swap the one on position 3 to position 2 and vice versa).

*Vegetables

Add time for 'hard vegetables' and lower time for 'soft vegetables'.

OVEN

This mode is for use of the bake, broil, pastry, pizza, proof, roast, and toast functions. Place the baking tray or air rack with food inside the oven. Use the selector dial to scroll through the presets; when desired preset is flashing, press the Start/Stop button to confirm the preset and start cooking. As with any traditional ovens, the bake functions generate more heat in the back than in the front, near the door. To ensure more even results, we suggest rotating your baked goods 180° halfway through the cooking time when using oven functions. You can do this by simply rotating the baking pan or rack with food and placing it back inside. Another alternative for certain foods is to use the Air Fry function which circulates air, allows more even heat distribution, and provides faster results.
However, it is recommended to adjust for 5-10 minutes faster cooking times and/or a 10-25°F decrease in cooking temperature when air frying baked foods for the first time.

If using the air rack or air frying basket, place the baking tray on position 1 to use as a drip tray, to help catch any grease or crumbs during the cooking process.
Baking refers to a wide variety of cooking modes, which is why there are 4 baking positions ideal for different types of baking. All bakeware baking (cakes, loaves, muffins) should preferably be used on position 2, placed on top of the air rack. Baking free-form loaves, cookies, sandwiches, and roasting should be done on the baking tray placed on either position 1, 2, or 3 depending on the recipe.
Press Start/Stop, select Oven mode, and use the selector dial to choose the desired preset you wish to use. Press the Start/Stop button again for confirmation. Once started, the selected preset will blink until the selected temperature has been reached, and then remain steady throughout the remainder of the cooking time. This lets you know when your oven is ready for use!
Temperature and time can be adjusted by pressing the knob when the preset is flashing. Press it once to change time and twice to change temperature. Turn it clockwise to increase and anti-clockwise to lower. When done, Press the Start/Stop button to confirm.
Time can be adjusted from 1 to 90 minutes and temperature from 140°F to 450°F (can vary depending on the preset).
When the cooking time has elapsed, the unit will beep 3 times. The heating elements will turn off and the display panel will show "OFF OFF".
Please note, although the unit has powered off, the inner fan will turn on for an additional 3 minutes to cool the machine down before coming to a complete stop and beeping one last time.
Bake function is best for foods that require rising like cakes, quick breads and loaves, soufflés, and the like.

Note: For best results with baked goods, after starting the cooking process, wait until oven has preheated to the selected temperature (whenever the preset light stops blinking) before putting your food inside.

Carefully take out your food with your Kalorik oven mitts and using the tray handle and place it on your Kalorik silicone mat.

Notes:

Cooking process can be cancelled at any time before the timer finishes counting down by pressing the Start/Stop button.
Food gets cooked quickly under the Broil setting, it is best to watch over food to prevent overcooking.
Halfway through the cooking process turn the baking tray/air rack 180° to achieve evenly cooked results.

Function	Description		Info
Bake	Recommended for foods that would normally be prepared in a conventional oven.		Works with prepacked frozen meals. For best results, preheat oven until preset light stops blinking. Recommended accessories: air rack or baking tray.
Broil	Used for meats such as beef, chicken, or pork. Also used for top browning casseroles and gratins.		Preheat the oven until the set temperature is reached (the BROIL preset will stop blinking) This function usually requires shorter cooking time. Food gets cooked quickly during broil, it is best to watch over food to not overcook. Do not use glass oven dishes to broil. Recommended accessories: air rack or air frying basket in position 3 and baking tray in position 1 to catch grease drippings. Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the rack. If covered, the foil prevents the fat from dripping into the drip tray. Grease will accumulate on the foil surface and may catch fire.
Pastry	Use this function to cook any kind of dough that is used to make baked goods.		Preheat oven until preset light stops blinking. Donuts, cinnamon rolls, and pies work great with this function.
Pizza	Recommended for fresh or frozen pizza.		Preheat oven until preset light stops blinking. Recommended accessory: air rack on position 3 for even cooking. Rotate pizza 180° halfway through cooking for even results.
Proof	Proofing can be used to prepare bread or pizza dough.		Dough is usually ready when it appears double in size. Check regularly when cooking. Allow dough to complete at least one rise at room temperature. Recommended accessory: air rack on position 2 with proofing dish on top.
Roast	Roasting can be used to enhance flavor through caramelization and browning on the surface, leaving food moist and juicy on the inside.		Preheat oven until preset light stops blinking. Roasting can get done quicker so it is suggested to check on food before time has ended. Used for larger meats and vegetables. Recommended accessory: baking tray.
Toast	Use the toast function to toast bread to perfection: crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.		Preheat oven until preset light stops blinking. For best results, set food on the center of the rack spaced out evenly. If toast is lighter than desired, place back inside oven and add more time by using the selector dial.

***When in doubt for frozen items, use the directed instructions on the packet and drop temperature by 25°F.

Additional cooking notes:

Food	Notes:
Chicken breast	Place baking tray in position 1 to catch falling grease and juices. Spray air frying basket with cooking oil before placing breasts. Maximum recommended capacity is 3 x 10 oz breasts. Let the oven preheat until the preset light stops blinking. Add an additional 1-2 minutes for each additional oz/breast. Remember to flip halfway through the cooking process.
Chicken tenders	Place baking tray in position 1 to catch any falling juices or crumbs (if breaded). Spray air frying basket with cooking oil before placing tenderloins on the basket. Let the oven preheat until the preset light stops blinking. Flip halfway through the cooking process.
Chicken thighs (bone-in)	Place baking tray on the lowest level to catch falling grease and juices. Maximum recommended capacity is 4 bone-in chicken thighs. Add an additional 1-2 minutes for each additional oz. Flip halfway through the cooking process.
Chicken wings (fresh)	Place baking tray on the lowest level to catch falling grease and juices. Max recommended amount is 6-8 wings. Flip halfway through the cooking process.
Fish	Recommended to spray basket with non-stick cooking spray. Fish should be opaque once cooked through.
Pork loin	Place baking tray on the lowest level to catch falling grease and juices. Add an additional 2-3 minutes for each additional oz.
Tofu	Make sure to drain and pat dry your tofu. For extra crispy results add a small amount of corn starch. Flip halfway through cooking time.
Baked potato	No need to wrap with foil, but you MUST poke holes with a fork to prevent the potato from exploding and to achieve best results. Covering outside of potato with a little bit of oil will also help to help crisp up the skin.
Mac and cheese (baked)	Assumes cooked macaroni, only used for finishing off the recipe as in a baked mac and cheese recipe. This is good for adding a nice broil to your mac and cheese and help the cheese melt. For less browning, cover tightly with foil.
Grilled cheese	Butter outside of the bread and flip halfway through cooking time. Try to avoid going near the sides of the baking pan as it may lead to unwanted marks on the bread.
Personal Pizza	Rotate the air rack 180° halfway through the cooking time to ensure even results. Pizza should be ready when all the cheese is melty, and crust is golden.
Frozen fish sticks	Shake the fish sticks halfway through cooking time for maximum crispiness. No preheating necessary.
Frozen chicken nuggets	Shake the nuggets halfway through cooking time for maximum crispiness. No preheating necessary.
Frozen mozzarella sticks	Flip the mozzarella sticks halfway through cooking time to ensure maximum crispiness. Use baking pan to prevent cheese drippings. Careful not to overcook, as it may cause cheese to leak.
Chocolate chip cookies	Rotate baking pan 180° halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. When done, carefully take the baking tray out of the oven with your Kalorik oven mitts and tap it on your counter to help deflate the cookies and achieve better results.
Cake	Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Different pan materials and sizes will yield different results. Maximum size is 8 ½ inch. Check doneness 5 minutes before the end of the minimum recommended for your recipe and add time as needed. Preheat oven until preset light stops blinking.
Quick bread	Rotate the loaf pan 180° halfway through cooking. Insert toothpick to check for doneness. Baking times will vary based on size of loaf and type of pan used. Preheat oven until preset light stops blinking.
Muffins	Rotate the baking rack 180° halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. Muffins should be done once an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Preheat oven until preset light stops blinking.
Pie	Cover the pie loosely with foil if it starts to brown too much. Air Fry works best for a crispier pie and Bake for a softer pie. Preheat oven until preset light stops blinking.

Dehydration:

Food	Thickness	Accessory	Position	Preset	Temperature	Time
Apples	1/16"- 1/8"	Dehydration tray + Air Frying Basket	4 (DEHYDRATOR) + 3 (AIR FRY)	Dehydrate	135°F	3 ½ hours + 2-4 hours
Strawberries	1/8"-1/4"	Dehydration tray + Air Frying Basket	4 (DEHYDRATOR)+ 3 (AIR FRY)	Dehydrate	135°F	4 hours +2-4 hours
Jerky	1/4" (SLICED LEAN BEEF)	Dehydration tray + Air Frying Basket	4 (DEHYDRATOR) + 3 (AIR FRY)	Dehydrate	155°F	4-6 hours

To use your MAXX as a dehydrator: Slide the 2-in-1 dehydrator and steak tray into level 4. Place the Air frying basket in position 2 or 3 for best air flow. Additional time will lead to crispier results. Times will vary depending on initial thickness.

We recommend checking the doneness of your dehydrated foods at the initial cooking time indicated and adding time afterwards as needed when dehydrating a type of food for the first time.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Make sure to clean the appliance after each use! Cleaning regularly prevents the accumulation of grease and helps avoid unpleasant smells.
Unplug the appliance from the outlet and allow it to cool completely.
Do not immerse the unit in water or wash under running water.
All accessories, except the sliding crumb tray, are dishwasher safe. All can be washed in hot soapy water.
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

To remove crumbs, pull out the sliding crumb tray from the Air Fryer Oven. Wipe clean and place back inside before using the appliance.
Wipe 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 an absorbent paper towel or 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 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.

Housing Cleaning

Wipe clean with a damp sponge. Dry with paper towel.

NEVER use steel wool, metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish.

Replacing the Inner Lamp

A replacement bulb is available to you should the original stop working. If this is the case, you can call customer service to get a replacement bulb. Be sure to perform the following steps carefully:

Unplug the appliance from the outlet and allow it to cool completely to avoid electric shocks or burns.
With your hand, carefully unscrew light bulb cover (rotate anticlockwise) and remove it from the oven. Make sure to place it somewhere safe in the meantime.
Using your hand again, pull on the light bulb without exerting too much force until it pops out. Safely dispose of the damaged light bulb.
Grab the new light bulb and carefully align it and secure it in place in the base.
Finally, take the light bulb cover and screw it back in place by rotating clockwise.
Your new light is ready for use!

DO NOT IMMERSE THE OVEN IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
ANY OTHER SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE.
