Tips
•When setting up the Kalorik 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 by hand after every use. Not
dishwasher safe.
•When cooking foods that may drip crumbs or grease during the
cooking process, make sure to place the baking pan on the lowest slot.
This will help maintain the unit as clean as possible and protect the
lower heating elements. This accessory is dishwasher safe.
FUNCTIONS
AIR FRY
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.
Operating Instructions:
1. Place your food on or inside the appropriate accessory and position it
inside the oven. Close the doors once the accessory is properly
positioned.
2. Turn the function knob to the AIR FRY setting.
3. Turn the temperature knob clockwise and select your desired
temperature.
Note: If you wish to change either the temperature or the cooking time
during the cooking cycle, simply turn either of the knobs to your
preference. Turn clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease.
Time can be adjusted from 1 to 60 minutes and temperature from 170° to
450°F.
4. When ready, turn the timer knob clockwise to the desired cooking time
to begin your cycle. The appliance will only start cooking once the
timer knob has been set.
•The Power light will turn on to indicate the unit is generating heat. It
will turn off (until doors are closed again) if the doors are opened
during the cooking process.

AFO 50939 SS –200605
13
www.KALORIK.com
•Tip: Flipping or turning food halfway through the cooking process
ensures more even results.
5. When the countdown timer ends, a bell will ring to indicate the end of
the cooking cycle, and the heating elements will turn off.
6. Carefully take out your food with oven mitts and/or using the tray
handle if cooking on the baking pan.
Tip: the cooking process can be cancelled at any time by turning the
timer knob to 0 or turning the function knob to OFF.
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.
•Most foods require flipping halfway through the cooking process for
crispier and more even results. In addition, placing food as a single
layer on the accessory ensures that all sides of the food receive the
same heat exposure.
oOpen your oven and take a spatula to move your food around
and ensure even heat exposure.
oUsing heat-proof gloves, you can also shake the accessory to
make sure the food ends up flat and evenly spaced.
•When cooking on ‘fast air fry, pay close attention to your food to
prevent that the outside cooks faster than the inside. This mode is best
for reheating already cooked food or finishing off foods to ensure
maximum crispiness.
•Some foods release water or oil when cooked. When cooking large
quantities of these types of food for an extended period, condensation
may build up, which could leave moisture on your countertop.
•Cooking will be paused automatically if doors are opened, but timer
will continue to count down. Add more time if needed. To resume
cooking close the doors.
•Use the baking pan in the lowest level to catch falling water, oil, or
crumbs.
•Once you are done cooking and the appliance has cooled off
completely, turn the function knob back to OFF.

BAKE
Use your Kalorik Maxx Air Fryer Oven as a conventional oven by turning the
FUNCTION knob to BAKE. Place the baking tray or air rack with food inside
the oven.
•If using the air rack: place the baking pan on the lowest level, as there
is a chance grease may drip during the cooking process. The baking
pan will help catch any grease or crumbs and protect the lower
heating elements.
oIf using the baking pan to cook, place it on the first or second
level
•Place your accessory with your food on the appropriate rack level.
Close the doors.
•Select your desired temperature using the temperature dial.
•Turn the timer dial to select your cooking time and begin the cooking
process.
oTemperature and time can be adjusted by turning either the
temperature or timer dials during the cooking process. Turn
clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease.
oTime can be adjusted from 1 to 60 minutes and temperature
from 170°F to 450°F.
•The power light will turn on to indicate the heating elements are turned
on.
oIf doors are opened during the cooking process, the heating
process will be paused, and the power light will turn off. Close
the doors to resume cooking.
oThe timer will not be paused if the doors are opened so keep
this in mind in case you need to add additional minutes to your
cycle.
•When baking, allow 10 minutes of preheating at desired temperature
before placing your food inside.
•Like in all ovens, more heat is generated in the back of the oven than in
the front. For this reason, we recommend rotating your baked goods
180° halfway through the baking time to ensure even results.
oYou can do this by directly rotating the baking pan or rack.
•When the cooking time has elapsed, a bell will ring to indicate the end
of the cooking process. The heating elements will turn off and unit will
return to OFF mode.
•Using oven mitts and the tray handle, carefully take out your food.

AFO 50939 SS –200605

www.KALORIK.com
TIP: For most foods, other than quick breads and other rising foods, another
alternative to bake would be using the convection bake or air frying
functions –which use a fan to evenly spread heat –to give faster and more
even cooking results. Adjust time (check food 5-10 minutes before the end
of the cooking cycle) and temperature (lower temperature by 10-25°F for
the same recipe) accordingly when using a function with a fan to make
baked goods.
CONVECTION BAKE
Use the Kalorik Maxx Air Fryer Oven as a convection oven for fan-assisted
baking. This function is best for achieving better browning when roasting
foods like meats and vegetables and cooking pastries that benefit from the
added air flow.
•Place the baking pan, basket, or air rack with food inside the oven. For
greasier or moist foods that may drip, place baking pan at the bottom
level to catch anything that falls.
•Use the function dial to select the convection bake (BAKE with fan
icon). Use temperature dial to turn to desired temperature and timer
dial to set desired baking time.
Note: convection baking generally takes less time than traditional baking. It
is best to reduce time by 25% initially and add more time if needed. You
can also reduce the temperature by 10-25°F compared to the original
recipe when making it for the first time.
•This function is not recommended for cooking foods that need
thorough inner baking like custardy desserts, souffles, cakes, and quick
breads, as they may cook faster on the outside than on the inside. For
foods like this, use the regular bake function.
CONVECTION TOAST
Use your unit as a convection toaster oven when selecting the convection
toast function (TOAST with fan icon). Use it to toast bread, bagels, burger
buns, and more!
•Place food on the air rack and slide inside the oven. Make sure the
removable crumb tray is in place to ensure you catch all fallout.
•Use function dial to select TOAST.
•Turn temperature dial to desired toasting temperature and then turn
the timer dial to preferred time to begin the cooking process.

AFO 50939 SS –200605
17
www.KALORIK.com
•Time can be adjusted from 1 to 60 minutes but may be changed at
any time.
•When the timer has elapsed, a bell will ring to indicate the end of the
heating process, and unit will return to OFF mode.
PIZZA
Use your oven to cook frozen or fresh pizza to perfection. Setting works for
both thin and thick crust pizza.
•Place your pizza (max 12 inches) on the air rack and slide it on the 2nd
level.
•Turn the function knob and select PIZZA
•Select your desired temperature and time and begin the cooking
cycle.
•Rotate the air rack 180° midway through the cooking process to ensure
even results.
•Check regularly to make sure the cheese is not getting cooked faster than
the crust.
•When timer elapses, a bell will ring, and the appliance will turn off.
•Take out the pizza using heat proof gloves.
CONVECTION BROIL
Use your oven as a broiler by using the convection broil function (BROIL with
fan icon). Use it to sear steaks and meats, crisp up vegetables and fruits,
finish off cheesy dishes, and even to caramelize crème brulées.
•The air rack or baking pan are best for this function.
oMake sure the removable crumb tray is in place before starting
to cook.
•Use the function dial to select BROIL.
•Use temperature dial to turn to desired temperature and turn timer dial
to select time and to turn the unit on.
•Time can be adjusted from 1 to 60 minutes but may be changed at
any point during the cycle.
oBe careful while convection broiling as food cooks quickly —
keep a steady eye to prevent unwanted burning.
•When the timer has elapsed, a bell will ring to indicate the end of the
cooking process.

AFO 50939 SS –200605
18
www.KALORIK.com
TIP: We suggest broiling at 450°F for a few minutes until food is cooked and
desired texture is achieved.
CONVECTION ROAST
Use this function to evenly roast large cuts of meat and poultry and your
favorite vegetables. Ideal for whole chickens, turkeys, ham, ribs and hearty
vegetables such as beets, carrots, potatoes, brussel sprouts, and more!
•For best results use the baking pan in the first or second level.
•Place the food on the baking pan and slide it in the appropriate rack
level.
•Select the ROAST function and adjust temperature to your preference.
Turn the timer to desired time when ready to begin the cooking
process.
•Turn your food around (when size allows you to) halfway through the
cooking process.
•The power of the fan will allow your food to achieve a perfectly brown
exterior with a tender and juicy interior.
•When cooking time is up, a bell will ring and the appliance will shut off.
•Using oven mitts and the rack handle pull out your food and enjoy!
Tip: same as for the convection broiling function, make sure to keep an eye
on your food to make sure the outside is not getting cooked faster than the
inside.
KEEP WARM
Use your Kalorik Maxx Air Fryer Oven to keep your food warm after cooking,
using the Keep Warm setting.
•Keep Warm is not a separate function but rather a temperature you
can set your oven to, to keep your food warm once you are done
cooking.
•Cook under your desired function, temperature, and time.
•When done, if you don’t want to eat your food immediately, you can
turn the temperature knob to the left until you reach Keep Warm (170°).
•Keep using the function and accessory that you used to cook.
oNo need to do anything else! Once timer elapses, simply turn
temperature to KEEP WARM and turn the timer knob to the time
you wish to keep your food warm for.

AFO 50939 SS –200605
19
www.KALORIK.com
•Be sure to not let your food sit under the Keep Warm setting for too long
as you run the risk of overcooking it.
When timer elapses and the bell rings, take your food out with oven mitts
and enjoy!
Cooking Tips
Cooking
Technique
Description
Info
Air Fry
Recommended for
foods that you want
to get nice and
crispy, without the
fat of a traditional
deep fryer.
•Works with fresh and frozen cut fries.
•Make anything from chicken wings to
fried fish to donuts with little to no oil.
•Achieves crispy vegetables packed
with flavor, not with fat.
•Recommended accessory: air frying
basket.

food is rotated or shaken at least
once halfway through the cooking
process. To do so, simply open the
oven and use tongs or a spatula to
turn and rotate food.
•The Fast Air Fry level is recommended
for adding extra crispiness on foods.
Not recommended for reheating
frozen foods unless used to finish off
or add extra crispiness.
Bake
Recommended for
foods that would
normally be
prepared in a
conventional oven.
•Works with prepacked frozen meals.
•For best results, preheat the oven at
least 5-10 minutes at the desired
temperature.
•Turn accessory around (180°) halfway
through the cycle to ensure even
baking.
•Good for foods that require rising like
cakes, breads, quick breads, soufflés,
or other baked goods that need to
be cooked well on the inside without
browning too much on the outside.
•Good for keeping foods tender, e.g.,
baked potatoes.
•Recommended accessories: air rack
and/or baking pan.

AFO 50939 SS –200605

www.KALORIK.com
Convection
Bake
Recommended for
quicker baking and
browning foods.
•Preheat oven for 5-10 minutes.
•For best results, place food on the
center of the rack spaced out
evenly.
•Good for foods that do not rise like
cookies, meats, casseroles, etc.
•Generally, convection baking is
quicker and therefore requires a
lower temperature —aim for 10-25°F
less than if you were using a
conventional oven.
•Recommended accessories: air rack
and/or baking pan.
Convection
Toast
Use the convection
toast function to
rapidly toast bread
to perfection:
crunchy on the
outside and soft on
the inside.
•Preheat oven for 10 minutes.
•Set food on the center of the rack
spaced out evenly.
•Set temperature to 350°F for light
toast, 400°F for medium, and 450°F for
dark. No need to flip.
•Recommended accessory: air rack in
middle slot.
Pizza
Cook perfectly crisp
and cheesy pizzas.
•Preheat oven for 5-10 minutes.
•Fits a 12-inch pizza
•Rotate 180° halfway through cooking
•Cook until cheese is melty, and crust
is warm
Convection
Broil
Used for meats such
as beef, chicken, or
pork. Can create a
nice char or
caramelization on
vegetables and
fruits. Also used for
top browning
casseroles and
gratins. Generally,
broiling is done at
the highest
temperature setting
(450°F) for best
results.
•Preheat the oven for 10 minutes.
•Use the top slot for best results.
•Watch over food to not overcook.
•Do not use glass oven dishes to broil.
•Recommended accessories: air rack
in top slot and baking tray in lower
slot to catch grease drippings.
•CAUTION: 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.
