What is the Kmart window air fryer?
The Kmart 6.2L Window Air Fryer does everything you would expect an air fryer to do, except it has a built-in viewing window, so you can watch your food cook in real time.
It comes with eight preset cooking functions covering all your everyday favourites, including chips, chops, prawns, drumsticks, steaks, fish, baking, and defrosting, so there’s no guesswork involved.
With a 6.2L capacity, it’s big enough to feed the whole family and compact enough to sit on your benchtop.
Better Homes and Gardens senior food editor Sarah Murphy is quite excited about an air fryer with a window, saying, “I think the window helps you gauge in real time how your food is cooking. Sometimes air fryers can get intense heat, which can be tricky to cook with if you’re getting used to using one.
“Having a window on your air fryer means you are less likely to overcook things.”

How to clean the Kmart window air fryer
Keeping your air fryer clean is simple and only takes a few minutes after each use.
Before you clean: Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely.
The basket and drip tray: According to the instruction manual, wash with hot water, dishwashing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge, or simply pop them in the dishwasher. If food or grease has stuck to the bottom, fill the pan with hot water and a little dishwashing liquid and leave it to soak for around 10 minutes before washing.
The outside: Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth. That’s it.
The inside: Wipe with a slightly damp cloth, then finish with a dry, soft cloth to polish.
A few things to avoid: Never submerge the main unit in water. Avoid harsh scrubbers, abrasive cleaners, sharp objects, or oven cleaners, as these can damage non-stick surfaces.

The built-in viewing window lets you monitor your food as it cooks without opening the basket. This keeps heat and airflow consistent, helps avoid overcooking, and means you never have to guess if your food is done.
Yes. The non-stick basket and drip tray are both dishwasher safe. For a quick clean, wash with hot water and dishwashing liquid using a non-abrasive sponge. If food has stuck, soak it in hot soapy water for 10 minutes before washing.
Some foods, especially chips and fries, need to be tossed or turned halfway through cooking. Give the basket a shake at the halfway mark for more even results.
This is completely normal when cooking greasy foods. Oil drips into the pan, producing white smoke as it heats up. It won’t affect your food or the appliance. To minimise it, make sure the pan is clean and free of grease residue from previous cooks.
Rinse your chips first to remove surface starch, then dry them thoroughly before adding oil. Cutting them a little smaller and adding a little more oil also helps achieve a crispier result.
