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
14 for cleaning instructions.
Assembling the paddle
1. Push the handle firmly 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 fitted the correct way up as shown in
figure 1 below. Two of the wheel axles are stamped with the word ‘UP’.
These must face upwards when the roller is correctly fitted. If, during use,
the bowl makes excessive noise or fails to rotate properly, make sure that the
bowl roller assembly is fitted the right way up.
1. Place the bowl roller assembly centrally into the bottom of your Halo Air
Fryer.
2. Place the bowl into the body of your fryer as shown in figure 2 below.
UP
During cooking the removable bowl rotates so only use the handle to remove the
bowl after cooking has fi nished. Remember the bowl will be very hot! Don’t set the
bowl down on a surface that may be damaged by heat.
After cooking, you can use the detachable bowl handle to remove the bowl
and its contents safely.
1. Place the bowl handle over the lip of the removable bowl
2. Lower the handle onto the bowl
3. Slide the lever forwards. The handle will grip the bowl. Let the lever
return to its rest position.
4. Lift the bowl out of the fryer body.
5. To release the bowl, press the button on the handle.
6. Lift the handle off the rim of the bowl.

measure. Spread the oil evenly over the chips. Please refer to our cooking
popular, convenience and frozen foods guide on page 12-13.

Your Halo Air Fryer comes complete with a dual height rack that can be used
for a variety of foods e.g. sausage, chicken, chips, fish, etc. Foods can also

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

GUIDE TO OILS AND FATS GUIDE TO POTATOES

Using your Halo Air Fryer to cook food will help you to reduce the amount
of oil needed in some recipes, which may benefit your diet.
The table below lists some of the more widely available, popular oils. All
of them can be used in your Halo Air 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.
Sunflower 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 flavour.
Grape Seed oil Shallow, deep and stir frying.
• You can also use low calorie cooking spray in your Halo Air Fryer
• Always ensure that the ingredients are evenly coated with oil.
There is nothing quite like a plate of homemade chips—especially with your
Halo Air Fryer doing all the hard work for you.
When choosing potatoes for your 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 Dauphinoise recipe.
Usage Variety
Homemade chips, potato wedges,
roast potatoes
Maris Piper, King Edward, Sante,
Rooster, Romano
Dauphinoise Charlotte, Desiree
Jacket potatoes Maris Piper, King Edward

CARE AND CLEANING
TROUBLESHOOTING
14 15
Always unplug your Halo Air Fryer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning it.
NEVER immerse the body, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
Never use harsh abrasive cleaners or cleaning materials.
• Inside the lid, carefully wipe any oil spatter from the halogen heater/fan assembly
cover with kitchen paper. Wipe over the outer body and lid with a clean, slightly
damp cloth and dry.
• Wash the rack, paddle, cooking oil measure, removable bowl and bowl handle by
hand in warm soapy water using a cloth, sponge or brush. Dry completely before
use or storage.
• The rack, paddle, cooking oil measure and removable bowl may be washed in a dishwasher.
PROBLEM POTENTIAL CAUSE SOLUTION
• The air fryer
does not work.
• The appliance is
not plugged in.
• You have not set
the timer.
• Put the mains plug in an earthed
wall socket.
• Press the timer knob to the required
preparation time to switch on the
appliance.
• The ingredients
fried with the
air fryer are not
done.
• The amount of
ingredients in the
pot is too big.
• The preparation
time is too short.
• Put smaller batches of ingredients
in the pot. Small batches are fried
more evenly.
• Press the timer to the required
preparation time.
• The ingredients
are fried
unevenly in the
air fryer.
• Certain types of
ingredients need to
be shaken halfway
through the
preparation time.
• Ingredients that lie on the top of or
across each other (eg: fries) need
to be shaken halfway through the
preparation.
• The paddle
can’t move into
the appliance
properly.
• There are too much
ingredients in the
pot.
• Do not fill pot beyond the MAX
indication.
• White smoke
comes out of
the appliance.
• You are preparing
greasy ingredients.
• The pot still
contains grease
residues from
previous use.
• When you fry greasy ingredients in
the air fryer, a large amount of oil
will be in the pot. The pot produces
white smoke and the pot may heat
up more than usual. This does not
affect the appliance or the end result.
• White smoke is caused by grease
heating up in the pot. Make sure you
clean the pot properly after each use.
• Fresh fries are
fried unevenly
in the air fryer.
• You did not soak
the potato sticks
properly before you
fried them.
• You did not use the
right potato type.
• Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for
at least 30 minutes, take them out
and dry them with kitchen paper.
• Use fresh potatoes and make sure
they stay firm during frying.
• Fresh fries are
not crispy when
they come out
of the air fryer.
• The crispiness of the
fries depends on the
amount of oil and
water in the fries.
• Make sure you dry the potato sticks
properly before you add the oil.
