To avoid contamination with bacteria via raw meat, fish, or poultry, it is important to handle these ingredients carefully.

Hand Washing:

• Wash your hands regularly with liquid soap for at least 15 seconds, especially before preparing food, after touching raw ingredients, and before eating.

• Dry your hands with a clean towel or paper towel.

During Preparation:

• Ensure the environment is clean and use a clean cutting board and clean cutlery.

• It is a good idea to use different chopping boards for vegetables and dough/bread than for raw ingredients.

• Do not use the same cutlery to handle raw ingredients and then cooked food. Wash cutlery in between or use different knives and forks.

• Ensure that prepared food does not come into contact with products that are still raw.

• Do not burn your meat, as this could cause harmful substances to form.

Serving the Meal:

• When serving meat, fish, or poultry, make sure that the prepared food is not placed on the same plate that the raw food has been in contact with.

Follow these general directions before using the BOURGINI 18.2141.00.00 for the first time:

1. Remove all packaging.

2. Clean the tray and the basket with soapy water, rinse with clean water, and dry thoroughly.

3. Place the appliance on a stable and level surface.

4. Ensure there is enough space around the appliance for heat to escape and for adequate ventilation.

5. Do not obstruct the air intake and exhaust openings. Ensure no curtains are hanging against the appliance and do not cover it with a towel or cloth.

6. NEVER put oil, fat, or other fluids in the tray, as this is a fire hazard.

7. Do not place your hand in the open Health Fryer while it is in operation due to the hot and powerful airflow.

8. Do not touch the tray or the basket without oven gloves while the appliance is in use or shortly thereafter, as these parts become extremely hot.

Basic Operation:

1. Insert the plug into an earthed socket.

2. Press the Power button (23). The Health Fryer will switch on.

3. Use the menu button (21) to select a pre-programmed setting.

4. Always use the basket. Never prepare food directly in the tray.

5. Place the food in the basket.

6. Place the basket in the tray and slide the tray fully into the appliance.

7. Press the power button to start the selected programme. At the end of the cooking period, the Health Fryer will automatically switch off and a beep will sound (5 times).

Manual Operation:

1. Press the power button.

2. Press the Temp/Time button to switch between setting the temperature and time.

3. Press + or – to set the desired time and temperature.

4. Press the power button again to start the Health Fryer.

Removing Food:

1. Remove the tray and basket from the appliance.

2. Slide the protective hood (2) forwards. Press the release button (2) and lift the basket from the tray.

3. Shake the contents into a dish. For large or delicate items like croquettes, use tongs to remove them.

Pausing and Shaking Food:

• You can pause the program by pressing the power button. Press it again to resume.

• During preparation, you can remove the tray by the handle to shake the food. This helps the food cook more evenly. After pushing the tray back in, the programme will automatically resume.

Switching Off Early:

• You can switch the Health Fryer off before the programme has ended by holding the power button for 3 seconds. The fan will continue to rotate for 20 seconds and an end signal will sound (5x).

The BOURGINI 18.2141.00.00 Health Fryer has 8 pre-set programmes. You can select them with the menu button. The temperature and time of all programmes can be adjusted. The temperature setting ranges from 80°C to 200°C, and the time setting ranges from 0 to 30 minutes.

The following times are for approximately 400g of food. It is recommended to shake the food halfway through the preparation time. For 1 kg of food, the cooking time will be about 3 times as long. Do not prepare more than 1 kg of food at a time.

*i.e. not freshly cut chips.

Potatoes only become chips when they have been pre-fried in oil. The final result for fresh potatoes will more closely resemble fried potatoes than chips. The best method is as follows:

1. Soak the cut potato pieces for 20-30 minutes in cold water.

2. Leave them to drain, then dry with a dishtowel or kitchen towel.

3. Put a tablespoon of oil (e.g., sunflower seed oil or olive oil) in a bowl and sprinkle with pepper and salt.

4. Place the potato pieces in the bowl and mix until they are covered in a layer of oil.

5. Remove the potato pieces from the bowl with a spoon or similar utensil and place them in the basket of the Health Fryer. Do not pour the oil from the bowl into the basket, as this will overload the appliance with oil.

Note on oil usage: The Health Fryer cooks food without the addition of oil. Dishes are far less fatty and contain 65% less oil than food cooked using traditional methods. The only application that requires a small amount of oil (1 tbsp = 15 ml) is the preparation of fresh potatoes.

Regular Cleaning:

• Unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool down before cleaning.

• Do not immerse the appliance or parts in water or any other liquid.

• Do not use any acerbic or abrasive cleaning liquids or sharp objects.

• Only the removable basket and tray can be cleaned in a dishwasher. The appliance itself and other parts must not be cleaned in a dishwasher.

• The tray and basket can also be cleaned with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.

• Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

• Clean the interior of the appliance with a moist, soft cloth and dry with a kitchen towel.

• Check the appliance for any damage on a regular basis.

To Clean Thoroughly:

1. Fill the pan with approx. 0.5 litre of water.

2. Replace the pan in the unit and switch on the Health Fryer for circa 20 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius.

3. Remove the pan and leave the Health Fryer to cool.

4. Remove the plug from the socket.

5. Hold the Health Fryer upside down and the loose remnants will fall out.

6. Place the Health Fryer in the correct position and replace the pan.

7. Allow the Health Fryer to dry for approx. 10 minutes before using it again.
