Frequently Asked Questions - Healthy Choice AFO2300 Lenoxx

What type of oil should I use in the Healthy Choice AFO2300?

Use high-quality vegetable or canola oil with a high smoke point like sunflower or peanut oil. Avoid using olive oil as it burns easily.

How much oil does the fryer need?

The maximum oil capacity is 2.3 liters. Fill between the MIN and MAX lines inside the bowl.

Can I fry frozen foods directly?

Yes, but pat dry excess ice and lower slowly to prevent oil from splashing. Reduce the fry time by 1-2 minutes.

How do I clean the deep fryer?

Unplug and let it cool completely. Remove the bowl and basket, wash with warm soapy water or place them in the dishwasher. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.

Why does the power light blink?

The thermostat is maintaining temperature. The light cycles on and off during frying. If it stays off, check the plug and reset the safety button.

Is the basket dishwasher safe?

Yes, both the bowl and basket are dishwasher safe. Hand drying recommended to prevent spots.

What is the maximum fry time?

The built-in timer can be set up to 30 minutes. For best results, fry in batches for 5-15 minutes depending on food.

Can I use the fryer without oil?

No, this is a traditional deep fryer requiring oil. For oil-free cooking, consider an air fryer.

What does the auto shut-off feature do?

The fryer turns off automatically if the temperature exceeds 200°C or if the timer ends. This prevents overheating.

How do I change the oil?

After cooling, pour used oil into a container through a sieve to remove food debris. Dispose properly; do not pour down the drain.

Use a soft sponge and soapy water to remove any dust on the surface that may happen during packing and transport. Allow the Air Fryer Convection Oven to dry before use.

PRODUCT USE AND ACCESSORIES:

* Choose an accessory to use for different cooking styles.

A. ROTISSERIE STICK, FORK AND SCREWS:

Use for roasts or a whole chicken.

Force the shaft length ways through the meat and centre.

Slide the forks onto the shaft from either end into the meat. Then lock into place with the screws. There is an indentation point on the shaft for a screw. Ensure the other screw is fitted tightly to the stick.

You can adjust the screws closer to the middle if needed, but never outwards towards the ends.

Ensure that the roast meat or chicken are not too large and are able to rotate freely inside the Air Fryer Convection Oven.

Tie up the chicken or other roast meat with cooking string to hold it tightly around the rotisserie stick.

Note: The only modes which the rotisserie will turn are BROIL, ROAST and AIRFRY modes.

B. ROTISSERIE HANDLE:

Use to remove cooked roasts or chicken which have been cooked using the rotisserie.

Place under the rotisserie shaft and then lift gently.

C. WIRE RACK; D. MESH TRAY; E. BAKING TRAY:

Each of the above can be used for a wide range of foods. Each can slide into the Air Fryer Convection Oven. Ideal for multi-level cooking.

F. PAN HANDLE:

Used to assist with removing hot wire rack, mesh tray and baking tray from the unit.

G. CRUMB TRAY:

Install the crumb tray at the very bottom, inside the Air Fryer Convection Oven. Always keep the crumb tray in this position while using the appliance.

Note: Please use your own oven mitts to remove the crumb tray after the cooking is complete.

Note:

• The baking tray can also be used as a drip tray.

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 paper towels.

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 with a kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks on the mesh rack.

5. Fit the mesh rack inside the Air Fryer Convection Oven.

6. Cook the fries for 12 – 18 mins at 200 Degrees.

USING THE ROTISSERIE:

- When the rotisserie stick is fitted inside the slots in the middle of the Air Fryer Convection Oven, use the BROIL or ROAST or AIRFRY pre-set mode for turning of the rotisserie.

The rotisserie will only turn when BROIL or ROAST or AIRFRY is used.

- The rotisserie fork is a great way to cook a roast chicken inside the Air Fryer Convection Oven as it allows even circulation and thorough cooking.

Note: The total weight of a chicken/meat cooked using the rotisserie stick should not exceed 2.5 kg, as the rotation will scrape the drip tray (use baking tray) in the bottom of the Air Fryer Convection Oven.

Please use the mesh tray or wire rack if cooking a large chicken.

Bind the legs and wings of the chicken with cooking string.

TIPS:

- Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ones.

- Large quantities of food only require a slightly longer cooking time than smaller quantities.

- Flipping or turning smaller sized foods halfway through the cooking process ensures that all the pieces are evenly cooked.

- Misting a bit of vegetable oil on fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding a little oil, do so just before cooking.

- Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the Air Fryer Convection Oven.

- Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.

- Place an oven safe baking tin or dish (not included) inside the Air Fryer Convection Oven when baking a cake or a quiche. A tin or dish is also suggested when cooking fragile or filled foods.
