About this product
Cook crispy golden chips for the family without fuss. The Tefal Uno Deep Fat Fryer handles generous portions with its 1kg food capacity and 1.8 litre oil tank, perfect for feeding 3-4 people with frozen chips, homemade wedges, or battered fish. Its 1470W power heats oil quickly, and the adjustable thermostat lets you set temperatures from 150 to 190 degrees. An indicator light shows when it's ready, and the large viewing window lets you monitor cooking without lifting the lid. The rise and fall basket drains oil properly, ensuring crisp, not greasy, results.
The cool zone at the bottom keeps your oil fresher for longer by catching any stray bits before they burn, and the exterior stays cool to the touch so there's no risk of accidental burns. Cleaning up is straightforward thanks to the dishwasher-safe parts, and it sits neatly on your worktop without taking over. You'll get a solid 2-year manufacturer's guarantee for complete peace of mind.

Compact, quick-heating deep fat fryer ideal for 2-3 people. Produces crispy chips and cooks well. Easy to use and clean, good value for money. Some concerns about basket handle and oil draining.

Handle very flimsy and nearly had accident.
Would of been a higher rating however the handle came lose while had chips cooking in hot fat.. handle is flimsy and not the safest in my opinion other than that very good and lightweight

Cooks chips well
Purchased Sunday, used it Monday good price as I have seen the same one elsewhere much more expensive, lightweight compared to my last one and it uses less oil, I was sceptical about the size but was surprised, it cooked enough chips for 3 adults, heats up reasonably quickly, the only negative is the pan doesn't come out to empty or clean and the basket handle is a bit flimsy.

The capacity of the fryer is 1.8 litres and it can hold up to 1kg (based on frozen chips).
the basket does not rotate
Hi, if the plastic clips are a part of the packaging, they must be removed before the product is used.
Hi Rosiebelle, this appliance does not have a auto shut off feature.
Hello SJH,
The supplier has advised the following for the Tefal FF203840 Uno Deep Fat Fryer:
Yes, you can use lard, but you must melt this in a separate pot before you put it in the deep fat fryer. Do not place a block of lard in as some of the element would not be covered while it’s still solid and when warming, and could cause an issue. They advise a “Max 1600g and Min 1400g”.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Yes. I use crisp and dry blocks.
This appliance has a 1.8 litre capacity.
This appliance does not have a filter.
Hi there, you can clean this appliance by following the below steps:
• Let the fryer cool completely.
• Pour the oil into a separate container. This is a good time to strain the oil or replace it with new oil.
• Remove the filters and the lid from the fryer (see specific model instructions). The lid should be cleaned with hot soapy water and dried thoroughly. Some lids can be cleaned in a dishwasher (see specific model instructions).
• Change the filter (see specific model instructions).
• The removable bowl (on selected models) should be cleaned with hot soapy water and dried thoroughly. Do not use abrasives. Removable bowls are also dishwasher safe. Do not forget to drain your valve if it is equipped with a filtration system.
• Fixed bowls will need to be wiped out with paper towels to clean out as much oil residue as possible. Never immerse the fryer, cord or plug in water. You can place the fryer in a dry sink and fill the fryer halfway with water and a little washing up liquid. A non-abrasive sponge or kitchen brush can be used to scrub down the inside. Make sure the water does not overflow onto the outside of the fryer or over the heating element.
• Pour the water out and rinse just the inside, dry thoroughly.
• The outside of all fryers can be wiped down with a damp sponge. This is recommended after each use.
Hope this helps
Thanks for using Q&A

Hi Bob, we can advise that all removable parts are dishwasher safe. However, we can advise that damage to products can be caused by dishwashing. Many dishwasher detergents are now incredibly corrosive, particularly those containing phosphates and these should not be used to wash any cookware. We recommend handwashing or in the case of dishwashing use less caustic dishwashing detergents such as a pure liquid or gel or powder rather than the combination tablets or sachets as these can be very corrosive. Also, always load in the top shelf of your dishwasher.
Hi Bob,
Tefal FF203840 Uno Deep Fat Fryer
Having checked I can see the lid, basket and filter sieve are dishwasher safe.
Thanks for using Q&A.
