HYGIENE
In order to avoid contamination with bacteria via raw meat, fish or poultry, it
is important to handle these ingredients carefully during the preparation
process. There are a number of things you should be aware of.
Hand washing
- Be sure to wash your hands regularly, especially before preparing food, after touching raw ingredients and before eating.
- Wash your hands with a liquid soap, for at least 15 seconds. Afterwards it is important that you dry your hands with a clean towel or paper towel.
During preparation
- When preparing raw ingredients, it is important that the environment is clean and that you use a clean cutting board and clean cutlery. Rinse materials with hot water and soapy water for next use.
- It is a good idea to use a different chopping board for vegetables and dough/bread than for raw ingredients.
- It is important that the cutlery used to handle the raw ingredients is not used to handle the food once cooked or baked. It may contain a lot of bacteria, which can make you sick. Wash the cutlery in between or use different knives and forks.
- You should also ensure that prepared food does not come into contact with products that are still raw.
- It is also important to not burn your meat, as this could cause harmful substances to form.
Serving the meal
- When serving meat, fish & poultry, make sure that the prepared food is not placed on the same plate that the raw food has been in contact with.

USE
General directions:
- Remove all packaging before using the product for the first time.
- Clean the tray and the basket with soapy water, rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
- There should be enough space around the appliance to let the heat escape.
- Make sure there is enough ventilation.
- Place the appliance on a stable and level surface.
- Do not obstruct the air intake and exhaust openings during use; ensure that no curtains hang against the appliance and do not cover the appliance with a towel, cloth, etc.
- NEVER put oil, fat or other fluids in the tray, as this is a fire hazard!
- Do not place your hand in the open and Health Fryer while it is in operation, on account of the hot and powerful airflow.
- Do not touch the tray or the basket without oven gloves while the appliance is in use, nor shortly thereafter, as these parts become extremely hot. After use, switch off the appliance, unplug it and wait for it to cool down.
- When not in use, store the appliance in a dry place.

- If necessary, pause the program by pressing the power button:
- Press the power button:
- The Health Fryer will now start the selected programme. At the end of this period the Health Fryer will automatically switch off and a beep will sound (5 times).
-
In addition to the pre-programmed programmes, the Health Fryer can also be manually set to the desired temperature and time as follows:
- Press the power button:
- Press: to set the time
- Press: to set the temperature.
- Press the power button again to start the Health Fryer.
-
Remove the tray and basket from the appliance. Slide the protective hood (2) forwards. Press the release button (2) and lift the basket
from the tray. Shake the contents into a dish. Remove large or delicate items of food, such as croquettes or fricadelle sausages, with a pair of tongs. -
Start cooking more food, or clean the appliance (see further on in this manual for cleaning instructions). Remove the plug from the socket before cleaning the appliance. If the appliance is to be used to prepare a second load of food or continuously, it does not need to be preheated again.
-
During preparation, you can remove the tray from the appliance by the handle in order to give the food a shake. This is not essential, but it will result in the food being more evenly heated and browned. If you decide to shake the food, do so approx. halfway through the cooking time, for example. After pushing in the tray, the programme will automatically resume.
-
You can switch the Health Fryer off before the programme has ended by holding the power button for 20 seconds. The fan will continue to rotate for 20 seconds and an end signal will sound (5x).
Preparation:
-
The Health Fryer is suitable to prepare all foods that may normally be cooked in a convection oven. Food will often be ready more quickly
in the Health Fryer due to the concentrated airflow and the compact space in which food is prepared. -
If it is available, we recommend the oven version for users who wish to prepare
pre-packaged foods, such as frozen chips and snacks. -
In supermarkets, you may also find various brands of chips and snacks specially intended for use in an airfryer. When preparing these foods, please follow the instructions on the foods’ packaging.
-
The following table gives examples of foods that are suitable for preparation in the Health Fryer. The indicated times and temperatures are estimates and will vary subject to the amount of food placed in the appliance, as well as the food’s composition. You will sometimes need to experiment with the settings.
-
In general, larger amounts of food will need longer preparation times. The times stated in the table apply to amounts of approx. 400g. For 2 kg the cooking time will be 3 times as long.
-
Do not try to prepare more than 2 kg of food at the same time.
-
The basket is permeable to air because this is essential to the proper operation of the Health Fryer, so make sure you do not block the airflow by, for instance, placing aluminium foil in the basket.
-
In the Health Fryer, do not prepare very fatty foods and/or foods that spatter a lot, as the fat could come into contact with the hot heating element and begin to smoke or even burn.
Programmes:
The Health Fryer has 8 programmes and a standard
programme.
You can select the programmes with the menu display.
The temperature and time of all programmes can be adjusted. When selecting the
programmes these values are alternately visible on the display.
The temperature setting ranges from 80°C to 200°C. The time setting ranges
from 00 to 60 minutes. The Health Fryer will switch off at the end of each
programme and a beep will sound (5x).
You can pause every programme with the power button . The button light will
start to flash. Press again to resume the programme.
The appliance will switch off automatically after
a programme has ended or by holding the power button for 20 seconds. The fan
will continue to rotate for 20 seconds and an end signal will sound (5x).

i.e. not freshly cut chips.
Potatoes only become chips when they have been pre-fried in oil, such as is
the case with pre-fried chips. Potatoes can be cut into all types of shapes,
including the shape of chips. However, the final result will more closely
resemble fried potatoes than chips. The best method to prepare freshly cut
chips is as follows:
-
Soak the cut potato pieces for 20-30 minutes
in cold water, leave to drain, then dry with a dishtowel or kitchen towel. -
Put a tablespoon of oil (e.g. sunflower seed oil or olive oil) in a bowl and sprinkle with pepper and salt.
-
Place the potato pieces in the bowl and mix until they are covered in a layer of oil.
-
Remove the potato pieces from the bowl with a spoon or similar and place them in the basket of the Health Fryer. Do not pour the oil from the bowl into the basket, as this overload the appliance with oil.
Oil:
- The Health Fryer cooks food without the addition of oil, as it is not possible to use oil in the Health Fryer. Dishes are therefore far less fatty and contain 65% less oil than food cooked using traditional methods (measured against a Bourgini deep fryer with deep frying oil).
- The only application which requires the addition of a small amount of oil (i.e. 1 tbs = 15 ml) is the preparation of fresh potatoes.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool down before cleaning and/or servicing.
- Do not immerse the appliance or parts in water or any other liquid.
- Do not use any acerbic or abrasive cleaning liquids.
- Do not use any sharp objects.
- Only the removable basket and tray can be cleaned in a dishwasher. Do not clean the appliance and the other parts in the dishwasher.
- The tray and the basket can also be cleaned with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly once clean.
- Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a soft, damp wiping cloth. Thoroughly dry the exterior of the appliance.
- Clean the interior of the appliance with a moist, soft cloth. Dry with a kitchen towel.
- Check the appliance for any damage on a regular basis.
To clean thoroughly:
- Fill the pan with approx. 0.5 litre of water.
- Replace the pan in the unit and switch on the Health Fryer for circa 20 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius.
- Remove the pan and leave the Health Fryer to cool.
