before first use

Never immerse any part of the fryer body, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid. Before assembling or disassembling your fryer, ensure it is unplugged and all parts are cool.

Unpack the appliance and remove all packaging, promotional materials and stickers. Remove all printed documents. Wash the removable bowl, paddle, measuring spoon, wire rack and bowl handle in hot soapy water. Rinse then dry all of the parts. Wipe the body and lid with a damp cloth only—see page 16 for cleaning instructions.

Assembling the paddle

1. Push the handle rmly into the hole in the paddle until it clicks. Once assembled, do not try to remove the handle from the paddle otherwise it may be damaged.

Fitting the bowl roller assembly

The bowl roller assembly must be tted the correct way up as shown in gure 1 below.

Two of the wheel axles are stamped with the word ‘UP’. These must face upwards when

the roller is correctly tted. If, during use, the bowl makes excessive noise or fails to rotate properly, make sure that the bowl roller assembly is tted the right way up.

1. Place the bowl roller assembly centrally into the bottom of your Halo Health Fryer.

2. Place the bowl into the body of your fryer as shown in gure 2 below.

curtains or wall coverings).

Care is required when using the appliance on surfaces that may be damaged by heat. The use of an insulated pad is recommended.

Your Halo fryer can be used to cook fresh or frozen chips, however, for the healthiest option, we suggest you try our perfect homemade chips on page 17.

Cooking chips uses the paddle to ensure even cooking. Foods such as mushrooms, diced potatoes, etc. can also be cooked using the paddle.

1. Press the lid release button and open the lid.

2. Fit the removable bowl then t the paddle onto the spindle in the bowl.

3. Add the chips to the bowl. Distribute the chips evenly over the bottom of the bowl and don’t exceed the MAX indicator line on the bowl.

4. Add the recommended quantity of oil to the chips using the cooking oil measure. Spread the oil evenly over the chips. Please refer to our cooking popular, convenience and frozen foods guide on page 14-15.

5. Close the lid and plug your fryer into a suitable mains supply and switch the socket on. Your fryer will beep, the display will light up blue and after a second or two will show 00.

Use the TIME button to enter the desired cooking time in minutes. If you keep your

nger on the TIME button, the time will increase quickly. When you are near the

desired time, make single presses of the button.

If you make a mistake press and hold the on/off button until your fryer beeps and the

display once again shows 00. Re-enter the time as described above.

6. Press the on/off button and the display will turn orange, the halogen heater will illuminate and the fan will start. The timer will start to count down in minutes until 1 minute remains when it will count down in seconds.

7. When the cooking time has ended, your fryer will beep and the halogen heater will turn off. The fan will continue running until you open the lid.

Notes

During cooking, you may open the lid at any time by pressing the lid release button. Doing this will switch off the halogen heater and the fan but the timer will continue to

count down. Closing the lid will restart cooking. If you have had the lid open for some

time, you may need compensate with additional cooking time after the original time has elapsed.

During cooking, the halogen heater will switch on and off from time to time. This is normal and allows your Halo Health Fryer to maintain an even cooking temperature.

MAX

other cooking methods

Your Halo Health Fryer comes complete with a dual height rack that can be used for a

variety of foods e.g. sausage, chicken, chips, sh, etc. Foods can also be cooked directly

in the removable bowl with or without the paddle. Use whichever method gives you the best results.

1. The rack can be used either way up to bring food closer to, or further from the halogen heater.

2. Press the release button and open the lid. Place the rack into the removable bowl whichever way up you require.

3. Place the food on the rack. The rack and food will rotate during cooking so make sure that the food will not touch any part of the halogen heater/fan assembly or other part of the lid when it is closed.

4. If required, add oil evenly over the food.

5. Close the lid and plug your fryer into a suitable mains supply and switch the socket on. Your fryer will beep, the display will light up blue and after a second or two will show 00.

Use the TIME button to enter the desired cooking time in minutes. If you keep your

nger on the TIME button, the time will increase quickly. When you are near the

desired time, make single presses of the button.

If you make a mistake press and hold the on/off button until your fryer beeps and the

display once again shows 00. Re-enter the time as described above.

Notes

During cooking, you may open the lid at any time by pressing the lid release button. Doing this will switch off the halogen heater and the fan but the timer will continue to

count down. Closing the lid will restart cooking. If you have had the lid open for some

guide to oils and fats

Using your Halo Health Fryer to cook food will help you to reduce the amount of oil

needed in some recipes, which may benet your diet.

The table below lists some of the more widely available, popular oils. All of them can be used in your Halo Health Fryer. However, for best results, we recommend Vegetable or Rapeseed oil.

Oil Type Use

Vegetable oil Shallow, deep and stir frying.

Rapeseed oil (often called vegetable oil) Shallow, deep and stir frying.

Corn oil Shallow, deep and stir frying.

Sunower oil Shallow, deep and stir frying.

Olive oil Shallow and stir frying. Marinades,

dressings, drizzling.

Sesame oil Shallow, deep and stir frying. Marinades,

drizzling.

Peanut oil (often called ground nut oil) Shallow and stir frying. Dressings. Adds a

nutty avour.

Grape Seed oil Shallow, deep and stir frying.

• You can also use low calorie cooking spray in your Halo Health Fryer

• Always ensure that the ingredients are evenly coated with oil.

guide to potatoes

There is nothing quite like a plate of homemade chips—especially with your Halo Health Fryer doing all the hard work for you.

Did you know there are hundreds of varieties of potatoes grown around the world with about 80 different varieties grown commercially in the UK. Potatoes are usually divided into two cateorgories:

Floury potatoes – These are generally lighter in colour, with a drier feel, perfect for homemade chips and jacket potatoes. Well known varieties are King Edward, Maris Piper and Rooster.

Waxy potatoes – These are moist, rm and translucent and hold their shape well—great

in salads. Examples of these include Charlotte and Jersey Royals

When choosing potatoes for our recipes, it’s worth buying the right type to achieve the best results. Many potatoes can be used for a variety of purposes. For example, the King Edward potato can be used for both homemade chips and our Dauphinoise recipe.

Usage Variety

Homemade chips, cajun-style potatoes, roast potatoes

Dauphinoise Charlotte, Desiree

Jacket potatoes Maris Piper, King Edward
