DANGER T Fal EZ Clean FR8000 ALERT

[@lazystef74]

Aren't you suppose to let the oil cool? I mean I don't have one but common sense would tell me to wait till it cool.

[@Powerfade54]

That dumb hick is right, you liberal moron. Firstly, the drain switch is automatic. The oil WILL NOT drain until the desired temp is reached. Secondly, even though the oil is not extremely hot when it is draining, it can still cause a lot of damage. Even fire if you have this on your stove, which a lot of people do to use the stove's exhaust fan. Thirdly, the plastic melting is an indicator that the entire drain process and mechanism have been corrupted, and extremely hot oil was indeed allowed to drain into the reservoir. If the plastic was heat rated it would not have melted and the oil, even though extremely hot, would have been contained within the reservoir. Fourthly, he noted a malfunctioning drain assembly. Which most likely is the culprit that allowed hot oil to be released prematurely. He is right that T-fal does not offer that part as a replacement. You need to buy the entire pan. That mechanism is sealed in place at the factory and should not ever come loose. Lastly, now how does it feel to be the 'dumb' liberal screaming; look how more superior I am? You are a jerk! Now go back down into your mama's basement and play your video games!

[@pureblood8712]

Exactly, no effing way I’d do this hot.

[@NodSivad]

What an idiot. They litterally tell you in the guide book to wait until it’s cool before you put it through the filter into the plastic.

[@Ladythyme]

The oil shouldn’t be hot when you filter the oil….I think it’s a user defect

[@77MyEsha]

I've only just got mine (with the white filtration box) I find it does only start the filtration process once it detects its cool enough, however on the strength of your experience Ive decided not to entirely trust the automatic filtration, but wait a good 3 hours before turning the dial to filtrate, its just not worth the risk, as with all things automatic, nothing is foolproof,, and as I have pets, Im not risking their welfare. A little patience is all that is needed. Please dont give this man a hard time, he took the trouble to show us what can potentially go wrong, and lets face it a gallon of hot oil all over your kitchen is no joke, so I say thank you kind sir for alerting us to this issue 👍👍👍

[@puretoon]

I've just bought one and it informs you many times in the manual to let the oil cool right down, intact the machine WON'T drain the oil until its cooled right down, so I don't know how your spout has melted-if thats what you're trying to say/show, unless you've forced the action somehow. I've used mine once last night and not knowing how long it would take the oil to drain, left it until today and it's drained fine in about 5 minutes or so. The switch on the front of the body is turned to 'automatically drain the oil' which then allows to fully cool, so you must be doing something really wrong for that to happen.

[@lorettafts]

🤣🤣🤣 Omg, you're supposed to let it cool next time try reading the instructions. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@silverTabbed]

I had the smaller version of this fryer for YEARS. You could turn the knob to filter before the oil cooled, actually, and when the oil was cool, it automatically started filtering. I'm not sure if this version has the same mechanism, but it looks like it does.

[@williamparsell2195]

My guess would be that you tried to lift the top/dirty oil reservoir up for cleaning before the bottom clean oil reservoir was slid out. I assume the bottom clean oil reservoir slides/clips into the filter mechanism of the top oil reservoir creating a seal. If you pry the top reservoir off first it will looses the filter screen fastener push nut creating a leak leading to your melted plastic/oil fiasco. I assume rotating the knob full counter clockwise releases this clip seal allowing for bottom tank removal then you can remove the top tank for cleaning.

[@NumaticVacuum]

People commenting clearly have no idea about this product. The reason it says automatic oil filtration is because you don’t have to wait for it to cool. The instructions tell you yo change the lever from fry to automatic oil filtration and the oil WILL NOT drain until it is sufficiently cooled. The valve does not open until the temperature is at a low enough temperature. You may of gotten a Friday afternoon model/faulty one. I have been using mine for ages and it works as described, I just love it. Easy to clean, it works, no complaints on my part.

[@jaggsdrennan5665]

You are correct, as far as your comment goes, however, there is a caution in the users guide to check that the valve is in the correct position before filling the pot with oil, if not, you should check to make sure there is no damage to the metal housing. I would say he probably skipped this step.

[@pmaddox]

We love ours, used it like 30 times and never had any problems with it...just let it cool before using the filtration, and i see where people say it leaks when you use the filtration, and if you go past the max fill line with your oil it will leak, just go to the max line only, if you have to go past the max line just take enough oil out to bring it to the max line and it won't leak..boom! you're welcome...yea we have had no problem with ours...you just have to take your time with it....thanks for the vid David S. Peace to You and Yours Sir.

[@gingervalene3979]

How did the drain mechanism become loose? Please explain.

[@dugefresh7063]

You should "NEVER" have Hot oil in the Plastic Storage Reservoir let alone Oil Hot enough to melt the plastic the instructions clearly state waut "3" Hours before using the Filitration Feature to allow the oil to cool down to room temperature! But Whatever!

[@mariotibbrine1]

do the instructions say to let the oil cool in the fryer before draining? not that it would make a difference I'm sure.

[@tfr51]

Probably does somewhere, but even if it didn't common sense will tell you to let the oil cool down before messing with it.

[@dsarti1]

Irelivent.... when the washer failed the container could not handle the temperature

[@mariotibbrine1]

Is there a disclaimer in the instructions?

[@mariotibbrine1]

Dave I understand product failure I was just curious about the disclaimer in the instruction manual.

[@tony2227]

dsarti1 Point taken but the way you explained the situation or the event was that you were filtering the oil and at that point the plastic melted ... AND then you said that another defect was the washer but you didnt say that the washer gave up and then it went into the plastic container melting it ....so your video could be questioned in a court of law .... BECAUSE if there is a disclaimer saying that oil needs to be cool before filtering then you video explanation becomes worthless....reason why i say this is because you started the video by explaining the plastic and not the washer ....HAD you pointed out that the reason the plastic melted was becuase a defective washer leaking hot oil in to the plastic then we wouldn't question your video.

[@50hellkat2]

You can order a replacement stainless steel bowl for 24 dollars and you can also order that plastic part that holds the grease as well. Tfal told me that when it starts not draining to replace the bowl with the drainage valve filtration.

[@rickthebaker9379]

Obviously you didn't read the manual which is the first thing you are supposed to do. The temperature goes up to 375 degrees not 450 or 500 as you mentioned. It also says to LET THE OIL COOL before draining. The final mistake you made way allowing a child to operate the fryer.

[@Powerfade54]

Maybe you should read the manual. The draining is an automatic function. You set it to drain and when the oil cools to a proper temp it will start draining automatically. He said the plastic reservoir should be rated for 500*, and he is right! The final mistake you made was opening your mouth and removing all doubt how ignorant you truly are! Have a nice day, junior!

[@Dhaemon77]

@@Powerfade54 The drain function is not automatic you fool. You have to manually move the dial all the way to the right to set to the drain function.

[@bryanlandru6016]

Anyone with half a brain knows not to filter hot oil into a plastic container until the oil has had a chance to cool down. And it looks like the price that is loose was beat with a hammer or dropped repeatedly… P.S. Things don’t lost when you do t take care of them and use them with some common sense.

[@50hellkat2]

Lots of comments are saying that you have to let the oil cool and then put it to the filter mode. I read instructions and my understanding is that there is a mechanism in the machine itself that will not let oil drain unless the oil is cool. I have never waited til the oil cooled to slide it into the drain position and it did not drain oil until it was cooled. I feel T-fal needs to rewrite their instructions because judging by your comment section there is confusion. i do not think i will replace mine because you make very good points. SAFETY FIRST. I came here because i wanted a fix for my issue which filtration will not drain and this is my first after several years of use, so time to throw this into the recycle i think. I came here because i was looking for a fix. Thank you for your excellent video. I am thankful for your feedback and that i can avoid a situation like what you had or worse. You should send your video to Tfal. Maybe they can fix this engineering flaw and clean up their chinese to english interpretations on their instruction sheet.

[@Kaiketsu]

User Error! you drained the oils when it was hot (instructions tell you not to!) and also for you to even do that you would have to force the drain open as the controls wont drain it until it knows its cool that is probably why metal drain is broken.

[@voluntarism335]

wrong once you are done frying you turn it off then set it to automatic filtration it waits until the oil cools down enough for the plastic then it filters the oil. I know because I have used this today since I got it and it did not start filtering until a few hours later. Next time before accusing someone for being stupid know what you're talking about. Myn worked fine and nothing melted he probably got a defective unit.

[@Kaiketsu]

@@voluntarism335 " the controls wont drain it until it knows its cool " in better words, the heat sensitive coil that controlls the drainage valve will not actuate until the oil is coolenough, this guy would have had to break that part of the pan for it to drain hot oil

[@voluntarism335]

@@Kaiketsu I don't know how he has used this but if he has not washed the thing after each time he was done with it then yeah he probably damaged his unit. I have used the fryer many times since and it's still fine once I'm done I simply set it to filter I don't wait then I come down after a few hours and the oil is filtered then I simply get the bucket poor the remaining oil into a jar and get paper towels and wipe down the metal bucket that holds the oil then I wash it in hot water and soap.

[@franny5295]

I appreciate the heads up. I've got mine on a rimmed cookie sheet and will make sure my child is nowhere near it for the duration of it being hot. However unlikely, things happen and this is definitely something I'd rather know about and never see than the other way around.

[@tap42]

I have the All-Clad version. I always wait the day after I use the fryer to drain it. The oil still leaks out of the container. Luckily I have it sitting on a rimmed cookie sheet. Because of this issue, I stopped draining the fryer all together, but it still leaks with the oil in the tub. I have contacted All-Clad (T-fal is a sister company) and instead of them addressing the issue, I was directed to purchase expensive replacements for the oil reservoir from a small appliance parts site. I agree, these things are faulty and it doesn't matter if the oil is cooled or hot, it still has a defect. I never attempted to drain it while it was hot because I was afraid the plastic would melt, but I still ran into the same problem with draining completely cooled oil.

[@Carlos-qn8gi]

I think you asked for refund and they didn't give you a penny because you didn't read the instructions

[@rickhodgkins6937]

You're supposed to turn your unit off to cool your oil to cool your oil down before you filter and drain it back into the plastic container, no wonder you're having difficulties for Christ sakes! If you are really having problems with the unit then you should have registered the product when you purchassed it that would have been smart!

[@damandbass]

I Worked maintenance at McD's and used to filter the oil. That said, this is a good example of companies going cheap. Everything that comes in direct contact with the oil should be able to handle the hottest temperatures that the fryer con produce. Period.

[@hamiltoncouple01]

Another serious fault with these machines is underrated power cord. After few uses, cord melts at the plug due to high wattage. It’s quite common problem. When I contacted T-Fal regarding this issue, they were perfectly aware of it and have replacement cords, at a price. And you are perfectly correct, oil tank should be metal, not cheap plastic. This is quite inferior product.

[@allrightsreserved3237]
