Self clean fryer
This is the most easiest and best fryer i have ever owned, it takes me around 10 minutes to clean fully with its oil drain filter system

Awful. dont buy!
Great idea but unfortunately it's been made by idiots. The oil box leaks. Doesn't seal securely and just splits open. Also it drains itself without you switching settings. Hot oil drains back into oil box, making me scared it will blow under pressure covering me with hot oil. Fry basket does not sit level. Can't fry much at one time. Kitchen is half ruined due to oil leaks. Plus cost of clean up. Better off buying cheap then throw it out and get another. Very disappointed in argos. I thought they sold quality products.....

Dangerous Appliance
Very dissapointed with this fryer. I would say its very dangerous as quite a few times it emptied the oil during use and other times as soon as cooking finished. Lucky my smoke alarms went of when it started smoking otherwise the outcome couldve been much worse. Also the oil box is a very poor design as the first time I used it I wasnt aware of the ease in which the lid comes of so I had a pretty horrific clean up to do. I no longer use this fryer

Very good product
Recently purchased this and what a great buy! Love the oil removal tray, nice, large basket too cook with and easy to use. Would definitely recommend.

excellent for a larger family
Bought a few weeks ago & is deceiving in the oil used, does not seem enough but in fact is plenty for a family of 6 to have a decent potion of chips each & cooks well. It also has the added feature of filtering oil in a much less messy way
Jellybean, 45 - 54, Glossop
Cooks perfect oil drain is great
Bought it six months ago at going good
Calverooni, 45 - 54, Lancashire
Great machine
Quality bit of kit excellent for the bigger family , you can’t go wrong with this one

Steer clear
Steer clear of this one as it filters the oil out as you are frying, did not find it safe to use and all you get offered is a repair even though it’s only been used twice,
E Morgan, 55 - 64
Best fryer
Best fryer I ever bought
Aretim, 55 - 64, Weston-super-Mare
Super easy, Fill, fry, drain !!!
Our old deep fryer was good but its draw back was when you had finished cooking, what do you do with the oil? With the oleo the oil filters and rains into the drip proof container (automatically) all the “oily/dirty” bits go in the dishwasher. All done ready for your next fish n chip night (which by the way cook beautifully!) Worth every penny!!!!!!

Hi Dave. Yes you would. We would recommend the Fryer has space and nothing above it
Hi Starzone,
Unpleasant odours off this Tefal FR804040 OleoClean Pro Deep Fat Fryer - Black can be due to aged oil and/or a saturated filter that needs to be changed. It is recommended to change the oil or filter or both regularly. To minimize the smell, it is recommended to use an exhaust fan or open windows to allow proper ventilation.
Thank you for using Q&A
The approximate dimensions of the basket are: 8.5cm H x 26.5cm D x 20.5cm W

The above answer is NOT correct. Yes you can switch the machine off and unplug. You move the lever to the filter oil mode. The oil will be filtered automatically once it has cooled sufficiently. No power is needed
No, the oil can only be filtered with the unit powered on and once the oil has cooled down.
Yes, there is a safety cut-out function.
Hi Dave. The maximum capacity for the Oleoclean is 1.2kg based on fresh chip. The maximum capacity for frozen chips is 900g
Hi Dave,
Having checked, I can confirm the overall capacity is 1.2Kg.
Thanks for using Q&A
Hi Henry,
Thanks for your query about the Tefal FR804040 OleoClean Pro Deep Fryer - Black.
Having checked with our supplier, we cannot give an exact answer as this would depend on exactly what it is you were cooking, your preferred/chosen portion sizes and so on. It is of course possible to cook a load of food in it and divide it into four between four people.
You'd need to consider cooking times for the different foods, allowing room enough for the items to cook through and it may not be suitable for all kinds of foods.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Jax,
The supplier has advised the following on the Tefal FR804040 OleoClean Pro Deep Fryer - Black:
“ Item dimensions L x W x H 47.5 x 41.3 x 36.3 centimetres
I would suggest it's never stored with oil in the unit, as the mechanism for draining the oil could be moved when storing ”
Thanks for using Q&A.
There is not an area within the product to store the cord.
No. The lid has a metal mesh type grid to let the steam out.
The lid does have a built in filter.
