NOTES
This product has been designed to cook
foods in a healthier way. We do not
recommend that you use your Halo+ air
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+ air 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+ air
fryer is tilted, the food inside is ‘tumbled’
which may damage fragile foods such as
salmon, jacket potatoes, cupcakes, etc.
You can use the dual heat mode cooking
method without setting your Halo+ air fryer
into the fully tilted position. The recipes
that come with this product will give you
more details on which method is best.

Food cooking guide
The following table provides basic cooking guidelines for popular, convenience and frozen
foods. Please note that due to the variations in thickness and size of the foods being
cooked, some experimentation may be required for the best cooking results. Always ensure
that the food is thoroughly cooked and piping hot throughout before consuming.
When cooking fresh chips, we’ve kept the oil quantites as low as possible for the
healthiest results. However, if you feel the chips are a little pale and require further
browning, increase the quantity of oil slightly.
Note that we use standard oven chips in our frozen chip testing. Standard frozen oven
chips are pre-coated with oil, so there is no need for you to add any further oil.

Guide to oils and fats
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 oil.
Oil Type Use
Vegetable 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 Shallow and stir frying. Dressings. Adds a
nutty flavour.
• You can also use low calorie cooking spray in your Halo+ air fryer.
• Always ensure that the ingredients are evenly coated with oil.
12
Care and cleaning
Always unplug your Halo+ air fryer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning it. NEVER immerse
the MAIN body, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
To prevent damage to the appliance do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning, use a soft cloth and
a mild detergent.
• Carefully wipe any oil spatter from the heater/fan assembly cover with kitchen paper. Wipe
over the outer body and lid with a clean, slightly damp cloth and dry.
• Wash the removable clear lid, roasting rack, oil measuring spoon, inner bowl, drip tray and
bowl handle with warm soapy water using a cloth, sponge or brush. Dry completely before
use or storage.
• The roasting rack, oil measuring spoon and drip tray may be washed in a dishwasher.
We recommend that you wash the inner bowl by hand only, in order to preserve the
DuraCeramic™ coating.
To remove the clear lid:
1. Press and hold in the two lid release buttons (one on each side).
2. Lift off the clear lid.
3. To refit the lid, position the lid over the tongue on the top of the body as shown then pivot
the lid into place until the locks on each side click.
