2. The cooking compartment is pulled out from the Health Fryer during cooking. In this case, the timer will continue counting down until the set cooking time has elapsed.

Dos and Don’ts

Do:
Check that the non-stick coated cooking basket is securely fitted before use. Not doing so may prevent the Health Fryer from operating.
Only hold the cooking compartment by the cooking basket handle.
Take care when removing the non-stick coated cooking basket, as steam may be emitted.
Don’t:
Invert the non-stick cooking basket with the cooking compartment still attached, as excess oil may collect at the bottom of the cooking compartment and could leak into the ingredients.
Cover the Health Fryer or its air inlets, as this will disrupt the airflow and could affect the frying results.
Fill the cooking compartment with oil or any other liquid. Press the non-stick coated cooking basket release button whilst shaking the ingredients.
Touch the cooking compartment during or straight after use, as it gets very hot and could emit steam; only hold the cooking compartment by the handle.
Turn the timer control dial in an anticlockwise direction, as this will damage its accuracy.

Description of Parts

Introduction

A healthier way to fry without losing any of the flavour, the Health Fryer is extremely versatile and is a perfect alternative to low fat cooking. Utilising hot air, it cooks delicious food using little or no oil, meaning treats can still be enjoyed even when leading a healthy lifestyle.

Instructions for Use

Before First Use

STEP 1: Switch off and unplug the Health Fryer from the mains power supply.
STEP 2: Wipe the Health Fryer main unit with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
STEP 3: Clean the accessories in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the Health Fryer main unit in water or any other liquid. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaning detergents or scourers to clean the Health Fryer or its accessories, as this could cause damage.
STEP 4: Place the Health Fryer main unit onto a stable, heat-resistant surface, at a height that is comfortable for the user.

Note: When using the Health Fryer for the first time, a slight smoke or odour may be emitted. This is normal and will soon subside. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation around the Health Fryer. It is advised to run the Health Fryer without food for approx. 10 minutes before first use; this will prevent the initial smoke or odour from affecting the taste of the food.

Assembling the Health Fryer

STEP 1: Fit the non-stick coated cooking basket into the cooking compartment, until it is secure.
STEP 2: Slide the cooking compartment inside the Health Fryer main unit to close it.

Note: The cooking compartment must be closed securely before use, as not doing so could prevent the Health Fryer from working.

Using the Health Fryer

STEP 1: Plug in and switch on the Health Fryer at the mains power supply.
STEP 2: To switch on the Health Fryer, turn the temperature control dial to the required heat setting.
STEP 3: Preheat the Health Fryer for approx. 3-5 minutes by turning the timer control dial to the corresponding time setting. The orange power and green heat indicator lights will illuminate, signaling that the Health Fryer has been switched on and is heating up. When the Health Fryer reaches the required temperature, the green heat indicator light will turn off.
STEP 4: Remove the cooking compartment by pulling the cooking basket handle out of the Health Fryer. Ensure that the plastic cover is concealing the cooking basket release button, taking care not to release the hot non- stick coated cooking basket. STEP 5: Place the ingredients into the non- stick coated cooking basket and then slide the cooking compartment inside the Health Fryer main body to close it.
STEP 6: Turn the temperature control dial to the required heat setting.
STEP 7: Determine the cooking time required for the ingredients and use the timer control dial to set it accordingly; the timer will begin to count down once set.
STEP 8: Some ingredients may require shaking halfway through the cooking time. Remove the cooking compartment by pulling the cooking basket handle out of the Health Fryer. The plastic cover must be concealing the cooking basket release button; take care not to release the hot non-stick coated cooking basket by pressing the cooking basket release button. Shake the cooking compartment gently, slide it back inside the Health Fryer main unit to close it and continue to cook.
STEP 9: Once cooking is complete and the set time has elapsed, the timer will sound. Using the cooking basket handle, carefully pull the cooking compartment out from the Health Fryer main unit. Check whether the ingredients are ready by carefully opening the cooking compartment. If the ingredients are not cooked, replace the cooking compartment and use the timer control dial to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
STEP 10: When the food is cooked, empty the contents into a bowl or onto a plate, using a pair of heat-resistant tongs (not included) if the food is large or fragile.

Note: Always preheat the Health Fryer before starting to cook. During use, the green heat indicator will cycle on and off to signal that it is maintaining the selected temperature.

Caution: Do not tip the food directly into a bowl or onto a plate, as excess oil may collect at the bottom of the cooking compartment and could leak onto the ingredients. Exercise caution when opening and closing the cooking compartment during use, as it will get very hot.
Warning: Nominal voltage is still present even when the thermostat is turned to the off position, to permanently switch off the Health Fryer, ensure it is turned off from the mains power supply.

Using the Non-Stick Coated Cooking Basket

The non-stick coated cooking basket is removable for ease of cleaning.
STEP 1: To remove the non-stick coated cooking basket from the cooking compartment, push forward the plastic cover on the handle to reveal the cooking basket release button.
STEP 2: Press and hold the cooking basket release button and carefully lift the handle to release the non-stick coated cooking basket from the Health Fryer main unit.
STEP 3: Replace the non-stick coated cooking basket by fitting it into the cooking compartment, until it is secure.
STEP 4: Slide the plastic cover back into position, so that it conceals the cooking basket release button.

Note: Do not use the Health Fryer without the non-stick coated cooking basket; ensure that it is properly and securely fitted before turning on the Health Fryer.
Warning: Never press the handle release button if the cooking compartment is elevated, as this could cause injury; only press it once the cooking compartment has been placed onto a flat, stable surface.
