TOTAL MAGICLEAN / VARIABLE
OIL LEVEL
Visioclean is a fryer with variable oil level
allowing you to fry varied foods.
You can adapt the quantity of oil, 1 or 2
litres, to what you are cooking and cut
down on the amount of fat.
Your Visioclean fryer also has the
advantage that it can be completely taken
apart to allow cleaning of all component
parts.
- The lid, basket, bowl and housing can all
go into the dishwasher.
- Your fryer's anti-odour filter can also be
cleaned, without even detaching it from the
lid and can also be put in the dishwasher.
- The front of the control panel can be
wiped clean with a slightly dampened
sponge.
Dismantling the fryer
Open the lid by pressing on one of the two
buttons and pull it away from the fryer
- Fig.
Lift the basket handle until you hear a
“click” as it locks - Fig.
Remove the basket.
After pulling the cord towards the front,
remove the control panel - Fig.
Take out the bowl from the housing.
Unscrew (1) the drain valve located on the
bottom of the bowl - Fig.
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.
Dry them off.
For good visibility through the
window, see chapiter Cleaning.
Never immerse the control panel
and cord in water.
Ensure that the anti-odour filter is
dry before frying.
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. 17).
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.
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

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,

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.
Never move the fryer with hot oil or
fat inside.
Maintenance
Storing the oil
Turn off the fryer and wait until the oil has
completely cooled.
Use a skimming ladle to pick out the little
pieces of food remaining in the fat - Fig.
Leave the fat in the fryer or keep it in a
separate container in a cool place (recom-
mended if you do not use the fryer often).
Do not use metal tools.
Filtering the oil
Use a filter paper (available from approved
Service Centres).
Wait until the oil is lukewarm.
Carefully empty the oil into a saucepan.
Clean the inside of the bowl and dry.
Place a filter paper at the bottom of the
basket.
Place the basket and filter paper in the
fryer (handle in raised position).
Carefully pour the oil back into the bowl
- Fig.
Throw away the filter paper and clean the
basket or use a filter pot with a maximum
capacity of 2.4 L (available from approved
Service Centres) - Fig.
The oil must be filtered regularly.
Crumbs falling away from foods tend to
burn and cause the fat to deteriorate
more quickly which in time will increase
the risks of it catching fire.
For the filter to work properly,
change it after every 80 times you cook.
Changing the oil
Do not pour used oil into the sink. Let it
cool down and put it out with your
household rubbish. If you add oil, make
sure you use the same type.
Change the oil every 8 to 12 uses
maximum. A "clean" oil keeps the
flavour quality and lightness of foods and
cuts down on smells.
Changing the carbon filter
Open the fryer's lid.
Take out the filter using the holding tabs
- Fig. 18

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
Visioclean is very easy to clean thanks to
its exclusive system - Fig.
TOTAL MAGICLEAN
You can put the following into the
DISHWASHER:
- basket,
- lid (with FILTER),
- bowl,
- housing, after removing the control
panel,Take care the dishwasher rotating
blades do not damage any of the fryer
parts.
Cleaning the window
For good visibility, put the lid through the
dishwasher or clean it with a sponge
dipped in washing-up liquid - Fig.
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.

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.
