WORLDWIDE EXCLUSIVITY
Filtration, drainage and automatic storage of oil/fat
Oléoclean is fitted with an exclusive and patented system for filtration and automatic drainage, suitable for most types of oils and fats used for cooking.
Thanks to the OIL BOX container, you can store your oil or fat and keep it until you next want to use it.
- The drainage of oil is completely automatic and does not need any special handling, which makes it totally safe.
- Thanks to the automatic filtration system, your oil/fat stays clean and lasts longer for healthier frying.
- Separate OIL BOX containers can be used to store oil/fat used for frying different types of food (chips, fish, doughnuts, etc.) to avoid any transfer of flavours.
Dismantling the fryer
Open the lid by pressing on one of the two buttons and pull it away from the fryer - Fig. 1
Remove the oil/fat container - Fig. 2 Lift the basket handle until you hear a "click" as it locks - Fig. 3
Remove the basket.
After pulling the cord towards the front, remove the control panel - Fig. 4
Take out the bowl from the housing.
Unscrew (1) the drain valve located on the bottom of the bowl.
Remove the drain valve (2) and filter grid (3) - Fig. 5
Preparation for use
Cleaning the fryer
Remove the protective film from the underside of the viewing window (depending on model).
Clean all parts (except the control panel) with a sponge and washing-up liquid or put them through the dishwasher - Fig. 6 Dry them off.
For good visibility through the window, see chapter Cleaning.
Never immerse the control panel and cord in water.
Ensure that the anti-odour filter is dry before frying.
Reassembling the fryer
Important : while replacing the automatic drain valve ensure that the seal is placed correctly under the 3 lugs designed for this purpose.
Place the filter grid in the bowl (domed side facing you) - Fig. 7
Turn the bowl over holding the filter grid. Place (1) the automatic drain valve flat on position O.
Turn (2) to position I - Fig. 8
Replace the bowl then the control panel.
Position the cord to the right side in the cord channel.
Turn the oil/fat container's drain button anti-clockwise to the closed position ✗ - Fig. 9 and slide the empty container in the fryer.
Follow the diagram shown on the underside of the bowl.
Do not misalign the position of the drain button.
Do not force the drain button.
Oil to use
Use an oil recommended for deep frying. For best results we recommend blended vegetable oil. For sunflower oil, groundnut oil, or soya oil, ensure the oil is changed after every 5 uses.
If you are using a solid vegetable fat: Cut it into pieces and put it at the bottom of the bowl (without the basket).
Place the thermostat on the position 150°C for melting it then follow the manufacturer's recommendations for cooking.
Lard or dripping should not be used under any circumstances and may cause overflowing, smoking or risk of fire. For traditional UK style deep fried foods, especially chips, we do not recommend using olive oil.

Do not mix different types of fat/oil.

You have the possibility of frying your food with 1 litre of fat/oil or 2 litres of fat/oil depending on type of food (see cooking table).
Filling the bowl
Fill the bowl (fitted with its automatic valve) with fat/oil.
Do not exceed the quantity corresponding to the marks for 2 L inside the removable bowl which correspond to 2 litres.
The marks for 1 L in the removable bowl correspond to a volume of 1 litre.
The bowl is also marked in UK cups 5 cps and 11 cps - Fig. 10
| Cooking method | Volume of oil | Solid fat |
| Deep frying | 2 L | 1785 g |
| Minimum deep-frying | 1 L | 890 g |
Adjust the level of oil according to the amount of food being cooked ensuring that you stay within the Minimum and Maximum levels. Check each time before cooking and correct if necessary using the same type of fat/oil.
Frying
Preheating
Check the fryer has oil/fat inside before switching on.
Close the lid - Fig. 11ug in.
Set the thermostat to the position corresponding to the food you are frying (see cooking tables p. 20).
The fryer is heating and the temperature light is on.

Never plug in the deep fryer
without oil/fat inside.

Never exceed the maximum
quantity of food for safety.
Removing the basket
Lift the basket handle until you hear the "click" as it locks - Fig. 12
Fill the basket with food.
Reduce the quantities for frozen foods.
Put the basket in place on the edge of the bowl and leave the handle in the horizontal position - Fig. 13 lose the lid.
| Frying (2 L) Fresh Frozen | chips chips |
| Maximum capacity 1000 g | 750 g |
| Quantity recommended for best results | 550 g 400 g |

Cut foods to the same size so that cook evenly. Avoid using pieces that oo thick.
Shake frozen foods in the basket to detach pieces of ice away from the deep fryer.
Lowering the basket
When the oil has reached the right temperature, the light goes out.
Press on the basket release button (1).
Slowly fold back the handle fully into its slot (2), gently lowering the food into the hot oil - Fig. 14
Do not push on the raising/lowering handle. Always press first on the handle's locking button.
Do not leave the fryer unattended.
Set the cooking time (depending on model)
Press on the timer button to set the time minute by minute - Fig. 15
Release. The selected time (in minutes) is displayed and the countdown starts.
In case of mistake or to delete the selected time, hold the button down for 2 seconds.
To stop the ringing signal, press on the button.
Place the deep fryer:
- on a steady level surface,
- where the lid can open fully and away from overhead cupboards,
- away from water splashes or heat sources,
- out of the reach of children.
Setting the timer is only possible when the temperature of the oil is reached.
Cooking
Watch while cooking
During cooking, it is normal for the temperature light to go on and off.
It is normal for viewing condensation to obscure the window at the start of cooking.
Taking food out
Lift the handle horizontally to raise the basket until you hear a “click” as it locks
- Fig. 3
Open the lid.
Take out the basket making sure that the rod is completely out of the bowl - Fig. 16 Serve.
Do not touch:
- the viewing window, the glass may be hot.
- the steam vented at the back of the fryer, will be hot.
The buzzer can be cancelled by pressing on the timer touchpad.
For a second frying
Correct the level of oil if necessary, with the same type of oil.
Wait until the temperature light goes out before lowering the second batch of food.
To reduce the circulation of smells: don't leave the lid open for too long.
Stopping the appliance
Once frying is completed, place the thermostat/control button on to position O - Fig. 17
For crispier chips, open the lid immediately after draining.
Season food with salt and pepper once out of the fryer to avoid getting into the oil/fat.
Unplug the appliance.
Let the fryer cool down (1 to 2 hours).
Roll the cord behind the fryer.
To move the fryer, use the carrying handles - Fig. 18
For filtering and draining the fat, see chapter Maintenance.
Never move the fryer with hot oil or fat inside.
Maintenance
Draining the oil
Once frying is finished, turn the drain button clockwise to the open position
- Fig. 19
For your safety, the appliance drains automatically when the fat is cool enough (draining process begins after about 2 hours and may take a further 2 hours to complete).
Make sure that the oil container is empty before draining the bowl.
Storing the container of oil In the appliance
The appliance must be carried and transported flat, in a cool dry place away from light.- Place the drain button in the closed position -Fig. 9
Outside of the appliance
Before taking the container out, make sure that the drain button is in the closed position.
Wait at least 2 hours before taking the full container out of the appliance.
Take out the container - Fig. 20
Carry the container with both hands.
Store it in a cool dry place away from light. It is not necessary to store oil in a refrigerator - Fig. 21
Always keep the container in a horizontal position with the lid on top.
You can store your different types of oils/fats in several separate containers which are sold as accessories. Diagrams shown on the container lid help to identify the type of oil contained inside.
Reusing the fat/oil
Hold the container carefully.
For oil:
Remove the cap located on the container lid. Empty the oil in the bowl - Fig. 22
For solid fat:
Remove the lid from the container.
Turn the container over and press on it so as to loosen the fat - Fig. 23
Empty the fat from the container's fill tube.
Cut the fat into pieces then tip them into the bowl, without the basket - Fig. 24
Change the fat/oil every 8 to
12 uses. A “clean” fat preserves the taste quality and lightness of foods as well as limiting smells.
Diagrams on the container's lid show you the different handling operations.
Replacing the container
Refit the lid on the container and close the cap.
Place the drain button in the closed position ✗Fig. 9
Insert the container into the appliance
- Fig. 25
Changing the carbon filter
Open the fryer's lid.
Take out the filter using the holding tabs
- Fig. 26
Replace the new filter in the lid.
For the filter to work properly, change it after every 80 times you fry.
If the filter falls into the hot fat, you have to change the fat and the filter.

Cleaning the window
For good visibility, put the lid through the dishwasher or clean it with a sponge dipped in washing-up liquid - Fig. 27
Leave the window to dry in the surrounding air or wipe it with a clean cotton cloth. Replace the lid.
Clean the window each time the fryer has been used.
Position the lid at 45° in the dishwasher, with the window upwards.
Cleaning the removable bowl
The browning and scratches which may appear after long use are normal.
We guarantee that the non-stick coating complies with regulations concerning materials in contact with foodstuffs.
You can clean your bowl in the dishwasher. Be careful not to damage the coating with the racks in the dishwasher. Avoid distorting your bowl (particularly the outsides) through knocks or a fall.
To retain the non-stick qualities for as long as possible, do not use metal tools.
If however your bowl becomes misshapen, obtain a replacement from your approved Service Centre.
For more thorough cleaning
Cleaning the oil/fat container
Clean the oil/fat container with water to which you have added some washing-up liquid or put it through the dishwasher, removing the lid. Dry it off.
Cleaning the drain valve
Completely immerse the valve in a container of hot water to which you have added some washing-up liquid, pressing on the red part - Fig. 28
Leave to soak for a few minutes.
Press again on the red part to rinse and empty the drain valve.
We recommend that you change the drain button and its seal and/or filter grid if they are damaged.
Cleaning the container's fill tube
To empty solid fat from the fill tube:
Remove the container from the fryer and empty it - Fig. 20
Place the drain button in the open position -Fig. 19
Position the container upright, with the fill tube facing you.
Remove the black cap - Fig. 29
Empty the solidified fat from the tube - Fig. 30
Replace the black cap (according to diagram) - Fig. 31
Replace the drain cap in closed position - Fig. 9
Cooking times
The cooking times and the quantities of fat are only a guide, they may vary depending on quantities and personal taste. For thicker foods (marked with an asterisk) and when cooking with 1 litre of oil, turn the food halfway through frying to ensure even cooking on both sides.
Foods recommended for frying in 1 litre of oil can be cooked in 2 litres of oil if preferred, using the same cooking temperature and time.
Cooks tip : when cooking battered foods or doughnuts, remove the wire basket to prevent food sticking to it. Take great care when handling the food and use tongs. Gradually place the food in the hot oil, submerging it an inch at a time to prevent it from sinking straight away.
