Do not let the cable run across an open space e.g. between a lower socket and table.

Personal safety

WARNING: Never attempt to move your Health Fryer until it is completely cool. This can take up to three hours.
Be careful not to touch those surfaces of the Health Fryer which become hot when in use.
WARNING: To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the control unit in water or other liquid.
Unplug from the electrical outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
Never leave the Health Fryer unattended when connected to the electricity supply.

Electrical requirements

Check that the voltage on the rating plate of your appliance corresponds with your house electricity supply which must be A.C. (Alternating Current).

Before First Use

Remove all packaging materials.
Remove any promotional stickers from the appliance. NB: Not the rating label on the base of the product.
Wash the drawers (3) and crisping trays (4) by hand with warm water, a little washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse, and leave the drawer upside down to drain. Make sure the drawer and crisping tray are thoroughly dry before re-fitting to the air-fryer.
Note: During washing it is possible that water droplets can enter the space between the two layers of the drawer window, this is normal and will not cause any problems. Leave the drawer in a warm environment for a few hours to allow the droplets to evaporate or use of the airfryer will create the heat to evaporate the water droplets.
To clean the outside of the appliance, only ever use a damp cloth.
Operate the air-fryer, without food at 220°C for at least 10 minutes. Select the “Frozen Chips” menu on both controls by pressing the M button until you reach the icon and then manually set the temperature by pressing the button. During this operation a slight odour may be noticed, this is normal for the first operation, a result of any production residues being evaporated/dispersed.
There is an air vent at the rear of the air-fryer, ensure there is at least a 15 cm gap between walls/cupboards etc all around the appliance to allow the hot air to escape.

Using the Health Fryer

Hints & Tips
Cook your food thoroughly. Remember that your food may begin to turn golden brown before it is cooked through. As a general guide raw food needs to be cooked on a slightly lower temperature but for longer compared to pre-cooked foods.
Select your cooking utensils with care. High-temperature plastic utensils or suitable wooden utensils are ok

Do not use metal utensils, they will damage the non-stick coating of the drawer and food trivet.

Note: As a general guide, avoid filling the drawer more than half full with food. The more the drawer is filled, the food will need turning more to ensure it is cooked evenly. Smaller amounts of food can often be cooked in a shorter time.
Note: If the drawer is opened during the cooking process to check on/turn/rearrange the food, the appliance will automatically pause the air- fryer. When the drawer is re-fitted the cooking process will automatically continue from the same point that the drawer was opened

The temperature can be increased/decreased using the touch button. Press the start/stop touch/button and the pre-heat start operating for 3 mins. Using the pre-heat will improve the cooking performance.
When the pre-heat operation is complete, remove the drawer and place on a heat resistant surface, place the food to be cooked onto the food trivet inside the drawer, taking care not to touch the hot surfaces of the drawer.
Select the programme required on the left control panel by pressing the **M** selector for left or right drawer until the icon is illuminated. The time can be increased/decreased using the touch button, then press the touch button and the temperature will flash in the panel and can be increased/decreased using the touch button.
Repeat steps 1 to 3 to programme the right-hand panel. Alternatively, press the programme match button if the same pre-set, cooking time and temperature is required.
If different programmes and cooking times have been selected for the left and right drawers, the synchronise button can be selected, this synchronize the finish time of the drawers, so left & right programs complete at same time.
Holding your finger on the on/off touch-button for a few seconds will stop/cancel the cooking process but please note that the appliance will take a few moments to run-through a stop/cool down process.
If the drawer is opened during the cooking process to check on/turn/rearrange the food, the appliance will automatically pause the air-fryer. When the drawer is re-fitted the cooking process will automatically continue from the same point that the drawer was opened

Audible indicator

Whenever the product is plugged into the mains supply or a menu selection is made, it is
accompanied by an audible ‘beep’. At the end of the set time, the air-fryer will ‘beep’ five
times to indicate the food the ready and the air-fryer will return to the standby mode.

Troubleshooting

Why does my Air Fryer not switch on?
The Air Fryer is not plugged in correctly. Plug it into the mains socket and switch on. A circuit breaker has been tripped. Check and reset the circuit breaker. The drawers are not fully in place. Push the drawers into place

Why has the food not been cooked thoroughly?
Food capacity has been exceeded. Remove some of the food and fry again in separate batches. This will cook food more evenly and thoroughly. The temperature was set too low. Manually increase set temperature. The cooking time was not long enough. Manually increase set cooking time.
Why are my chips not cooking evenly?
Chips were not rinsed adequately before cooking. Rinse chips thoroughly (to remove starch) and allow them to dry before cooking.
Why are my chips not crispy?
There may be a lack of oil or too much water. Ensure chips are dried after rinsing with water.
Possibly add a little more oil to the chips before cooking. Chip size may be too large. Try cutting the potato into smaller pieces for a crispier result. You may be using the wrong type of potato. When making home-made chips/fries, the best type of potato to use are the floury varieties (King Edward or Maris Piper).

Why is there white smoke emitted during cooking?

The food contained within may be quite greasy or fatty. Greasy or fatty food will emit fat/ oil into the drawers of the Air Fryer, and when heated it may emit a white smoke. Try to avoid cooking greasy/fatty foods in the Air Fryer. The white smoke does not affect the cooking process. The drawers may still contain oil/fat from previous use. Ensure the drawers are thoroughly cleaned after each use.

Why will the basket not slide back into the Air Fryer housing properly?

Too much food in the Basket. If there is too much food in the basket, please remove some of the food and retry.
Drawer not aligned correctly.
Correctly align the drawer with the grooves located on the inside of the Air Fryer housing.

Care & Cleaning

Always remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.
(see “Before first use” above)
Never use abrasive cleaners, these will damage the non-stick coating of the drawers and crisping trays. Any stubborn food residue should be removed by soaking. With the drawer removed from the air-fryer, place on a heat resistant surface and fill the drawers with hot soapy water to the same depth as the crisping trays. Leave to soak until the water has cooled. Then clean as described above.
The drawers may be cleaned in a dishwasher but due to the size, design and non-stick coating of drawer, soaking/hand washing (as described above) may be quicker, easier and provide a better result.
Note: Always drain the drawers upside down after washing to reduce condensation between the 2 layers of the drawer window.
