cooking chips
WARNING: When your Halo+ Health Fryer is in the tilted position, the lid will not stay open on its own and may close unexpectedly. Always return the appliance to the level position before opening the lid.
Your Halo+ Health 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 18.
1.Press the lid latch button and open the lid.
2.Fit the inner bowl over the central shaft.
3.Add the chips to the bowl. Distribute the chips evenly over the bottom of the bowl. Don’t exceed 1.25kg of fresh chips or 1.0kg frozen chips.
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 Halo+ Health Fryer into a suitable mains supply and switch the socket on. Your Halo+ Health Fryer will beep, the display will light up blue and after a second or two will show 00.
6.Use the + button to enter the desired cooking time in minutes. If you keep your finger on the + button, the time will increase quickly. When you are near the desired time, make single presses of the button. If you overshoot the desired time, use the – button to adjust the time.
Next, pull the tilt mechanism lock outwards and tilt your Halo+ Health Fryer forwards. Release the tilt lock to lock your Halo+ Health Fryer in the fully tilted position. When in the correct position, the 
icon will show in the window of the tilt lock.
7.Press the dual heat mode (
) button to start cooking. The display will turn orange, the 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.
8.When the cooking time has ended, your Halo+ Health Fryer will beep and the heater will turn off.
Notes
The cooking time can be adjusted up or down during cooking using the + or – buttons.
During cooking, you may open the lid if required. First, set your Halo+ Health Fryer to the level position then press the lid release button. Opening the lid will switch off the heater and the fan, and the timer will stop counting down. To restart cooking, close the lid then return your fryer to the tilted position. Cooking will resume when you close the lid and the timer will continue to count down.
During cooking, the 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.
You can cancel cooking at any time by pressing and holding either the dual heat mode 
button or the grill mode 
button. Your Halo+ Health Fryer will beep, the display will
return to 00 and cooking will be cancelled.

2.Place the food on the rack (if you are using it). Select the cooking time, then the grill function. The rack and food will rotate during cooking so make sure that the food will not touch any part of the heater/fan assembly or other part of the lid when it is closed.

Notes
This product has been designed to cook foods in a healthier way. We do not recommend that you use your Halo+ Health Fryer to cook foods which are very fatty e.g. chicken portions (with the skin on), lamb chops, sausages or other fatty cuts of meat.
Dual Heat cooking mode without tilting
To tilt or not to tilt....
Your Halo+ Health Fryer can be used to cook the foods and recipes that you would normally cook in a standard oven or saucepan. However, when your Halo+ Health Fryer is tilted, the food inside is ‘tumbled’ which may damage fragile foods such as salmon, jacket potatoes, fairy cakes, etc. You can use the dual heat mode cooking method without setting your Halo+ Health Fryer into the fully tilted position. The recipes in these instructions will give you more details on which method is best.
