PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

KNOW YOUR AIR FRYER OVEN
Discover the new generation of air fryer ovens! The Kalorik 26 Quart Digital Maxx Air Fryer Oven combines multiple appliances into one. It functions as an air fryer, roaster, broiler, rotisserie, dehydrator, oven, toaster, pizza oven, and slow cooker.
The Kalorik Digital Maxx Air Fryer Oven uses special Turbo Maxx technology to cook food faster than ever. Customized upper and lower heating elements provide even heat distribution for perfectly cooked results. An optimized airflow system and high-performance turbofan are engineered for maximum air circulation, delivering the same crispy texture and rich flavor of deep-fried food, ⁠with little to no oil. This reduces fat and calories for healthier meals.

The rotisserie setting rotates the included spit accessory during cooking, allowing meat to roast evenly in its own juices and develop maximum flavor.
The Kalorik Digital Maxx Air Fryer Oven reaches up to 500°F, perfect for searing meat or vegetables to caramelized perfection. The oven can fit a large chicken, 12” pizza, or up to 9 slices of toast in its cavity.

Modern and multifunctional, the Kalorik Digital Maxx Air Fryer Oven features glass French doors with a single-hand automatic opening to prevent dripping or scalding.
A built-in auto-shutoff safety feature automatically stops operation when the doors are open.
An easy-to-use digital LED display contains 21 presets for foolproof cooking. Accessories include an air frying basket, baking pan, air rack, crumb tray, *bacon tray, *2-in-1 steak and dehydration tray, rotisserie spit, rack handle and rotisserie handle.

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.

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).

Using the Rotisserie Spit

• Insert the rotisserie spit through the center of the food lengthwise.
• Slide the forks onto each side of the spit and secure them in place by tightening the screws provided. Make sure the forks are securely inserted and food is centered on the spit.
• Use the rotisserie handle to lift the rotisserie rod. The hooks of the rotisserie handle should be placed under the grooves on both sides of the rod. Make sure the long end of the rod is on the right side of the handle, and the short-indented side is on the left side of the handle.
• Open the oven doors. Slide the accessory in the cavity. Insert the right side (long end) of the rod in the rotisserie spit support. Then, place the left side (short indented end of the rod) on the left hook inside the cavity.
  CAUTION: Rotisserie accessories are very sharp and will likely get very hot during the cooking process. Be careful and use oven mitts to avoid personal injury.

WARNING: Place all ingredients on the racks, rotisserie spit or basket in a way to prevent any contact with the appliance’s heating elements. Do not overfill.
