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.

- Fig.

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

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.

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.

Plug 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.
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.

Close the lid.

Cut foods to the same size so that

they cook evenly. Avoid using pieces that
are too thick.

Shake frozen foods in the basket to

detach pieces of ice away from the deep
fryer.

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.
Open the lid.
Take out the basket making sure that the
rod is completely out of the bowl - Fig.
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.

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.
For filtring and draining the fat, see
chapiter 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.
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.

2808-5064264 ME OLEO-E1 17/01/03 16:53 Page 17

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.
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.

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.
For solid fat:
Remove the lid from the container.
Turn the container over and press on it so
as to loosen the fat - Fig.
Empty the fat from the container’s fill tube.
Cut the fat into pieces then tip them into
the bowl, without the basket - Fig.

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.

Insert the container into the appliance

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.
