3 PRONG PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3 prong, grounding type, wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 latest edition and all local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3prong, wall receptacle installed by a 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 the unit.
  • Position the oven on a flat and heat resistant surface so that is 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, underneath the bottom heating elements. Make sure unit is clean and empty.
  • 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 on steak function, putting the thermostat on its maximum temperature setting (500°F).
  • Once you plug in the unit, the Start/Stop button will turn on for one minute to indicate it is plugged in and then turn off.

Cooking times will vary with different conditions such as size, quantity, initial temperature, and preparation used. These are meant to serve as basic cooking guidelines to help you get the most out of your Kalorik MAXX Air Fryer Oven Grill. Additional notes for each food are found on the next page. Most recipes, unless otherwise indicated, require either to rotate, flip, or turn food halfway through the cooking process to provide more even results.
*Internal temperatures as recommended by FDA; other doneness standards are indicative only.
**When in doubt, use BAKE at the recommended time and temperature provided by your recipe when baking loaves, pies, cakes, and other larger foods that require thorough internal cooking.
COOKING TIPS:

Food Notes:
Chicken breast Place grill grate in place. Spray breasts with cooking oil before placing on grate. Maximum recommended capacity is 3 10 oz breasts. Add an additional 1-2 minutes for each additional oz/breast. Remember to flip halfway through the cooking process.
Chicken tenderloins Place baking tray on the lowest level to catch any falling juices or breading (if marinated). Spray air frying basket with cooking oil before placing tenderloins on the basket. Add an additional 1-2 minutes for each additional oz. Maximum recommended capacity is a single layer of tenderloins. Flip halfway through the cooking process.
Chicken thighs (bone-in) Place baking tray on the lowest level to catch falling grease and juices. Add an additional 1-2 minutes for each additional oz.
Maximum recommended capacity is 4 bone-in chicken thighs (no drumstick attached). Flip halfway through the cooking process.
Chicken wings (fresh) Place baking / drip tray on the lowest level to catch falling grease and juices. Can place last few minutes, or an additional 2 minutes, on 4th (FAST AIR FRY) level if planning to glaze and get crispy wings. Max recommended amount is 8 whole wings.
Fish Recommended to spray the fish with oil 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 For drained, extra-firm tofu. Drain overnight if necessary, to ensure the crispiest results. Flip halfway through cooking time.
Meatloaf (Beef)** For a freeform loaf: Recommended to wrap loosely in tinfoil to avoid excessive browning in Air Fry function. For a loaf in a pan: recommended bake function. You can cover the pan loosely in tinfoil to avoid excessive browning and uncover in the last 5-10 minutes to help crisp up the top. Recipes will vary.
Baked potato No need to wrap with foil, but poking holes with a fork will provide best results, as well as covering outside with a little bit of oil to help skin crisp up.
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 tray as it may lead to unwanted marks on the bread.
Frozen pizza (thin crust) Rotate the air rack 180° halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. Pizza should be ready when all the cheese is melty, and crust is warm.
Frozen pizza (thick crust) Rotate the air rack 180° halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. Pizza should be ready when all the cheese is melty, and crust is warm.
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 Shake the mozzarella sticks halfway through cooking time to ensure maximum crispiness. Use baking tray to prevent cheese drippings. Careful not to overcook, as it may cause cheese to leak.
Chocolate chip cookies Rotate baking tray 180° halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. Turning the pan upside down and placing it on a higher level helps to give the cookies a little more distance from the heating element to ensure a more uniform heating.
Cake Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Different pan materials and sizes will yield different results. Check doneness 5 minutes before the end of the minimum recommended for your recipe and add time as needed. Preheat oven for 5 minutes.
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 5 minutes.
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 cleanly. Preheat 5 mins.
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 for 5 minutes.

DEHYDRATION:

Food Thickness Accessory Level Setting Temperature
Apples 1/16"-1/8" Dehydration tray + Air Frying 5th (DEHYDRATOR) + 3rd (AIR FRY) Dehydrate 135°F
Pineapple 1/8"-1/4" Basket Dehydration tray + Air Frying Basket 5th (DEHYDRATOR) + 3rd (AIR FRY) Dehydrate 135°F
Jerky 1/4" (GROUND TURKEY/ BEEF) Dehydration tray + Air Frying Basket 5th (DEHYDRATOR) + 3rd (AIR FRY) Dehydrate 155°F

To use your MAXX as a dehydrator: Slide dehydrator tray into the top level. Place the Air frying basket in the 3rd level 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 afterwards as needed when dehydrating a type of food for the first time.
