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.
SETTINGS:
Except the preset menu, you also can use this air fryer to make other foods by setting the
time and temperature. This table below helps you to select the basic settings for the
ingredients you want to prepare.
Note: Keep in mind that these settings are only for reference. As ingredients differ in
origin, size, shape as well as brand, we cannot guarantee the best setting for your
ingredients.
Because the Rapid Air Technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance,pulling
the frying tray briefly out of the appliance during hot air frying barely disturbs process.
Tips:
- Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger
ingredients.
- A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time; a smaller
amount of ingredients only requires a slightly shorter preparation time.
- Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimized the end
result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
- You can coat fresh potatoes with a little oil for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the
air fryer within a few minutes after you have added the oil.
- Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.
- Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
- The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 500 grams.
- Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also
requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.
- You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients by setting the temperature to 150°C
and the timer to about 10 minutes.

Making home-made fries
For the best results, we advise to use pre-baked fries. If you want to make home-made
fries, follow the steps below:
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, take them out and
dry them with kitchen paper.
3. Pour 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the sticks
are coated with oil.
4. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excess oil
stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the basket.
Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the basket in one go, to prevent excess oil
from collecting at the bottom of the frying tray.
5. Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions in this chapter.
CLEANING:
Clean the appliance after every use.
The frying tray, basket and the inside of the appliance have a non-stick coating. Do not
use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may
damage the non-stick coating.
1. Remove the mains plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down.
Note: Remove the frying tray to let the air fryer cool down more quickly.
2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth.
3. Clean the frying tray and basket with hot water, some washing liquid soap and a non-
abrasive sponge.
You can use a washing liquid to remove any remaining dirt.
Note: The frying tray and basket are dishwasher-proof.
Tip: If dirt is stuck to the basket, or at the bottom of the frying tray, fill the frying tray with
hot water and with some washing liquid soap. Put the basket in the frying tray and let the
frying tray and the basket soak for approximately 10 minutes.
1. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
2. Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues.
STORAGE:
1. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
2. Make sure all parts are clean and dry.
