Infernus INEF-16V Commercial 16L Electric Fryer with Drain Tap 3kW (13A Plug)

Description

Streamline end-of-shift kitchen cleaning, eliminate heavy lifting of hot cooking oil, and maintain high frying throughput with the Infernus INEF-16V Commercial 16L Electric Fryer with Drain Tap. Engineered specifically for busy commercial kitchens—including fish and chip shops, cafés, gastro pubs, street food trailers, and burger takeaways—this 3kW countertop workhorse combines a 16-litre oil capacity with an integrated front drainage valve and a tilt-up element lifting mechanism across a compact 345mm footprint.

Commercial 16L Electric Fryer with Drain Tap Features & Performance

• Integrated Front Oil Drainage Tap: Manually lifting heavy, oil-filled tanks is one of the most common workplace burn hazards in commercial catering. The INEF-16V eliminates this risk with a front-mounted mechanical drain tap. Kitchen staff simply position an oil filtering container or bucket beneath the valve and open the safety lever to drain the oil reservoir quickly, safely, and cleanly without spilling a drop.
• Innovative Element Lifter Mechanism: Fixed elements make wiping down the base of the tank difficult and time-consuming. The INEF-16V features a balanced element lifting system that swings the 3kW heating head assembly upward out of the well. This gives staff complete, open access to the bottom and corners of the tank for fast sanitisation and sediment removal during service shifts.
• True Plug & Play Standard 13A UK Operation (3kW): Pulling 3kW, the unit comes pre-wired with a standard UK 13-amp 3-pin plug. It requires no three-phase electrics or hardwiring by an electrician—simply unpack, fill with oil to the stamped level markers, plug into any standard commercial socket, and start frying immediately.
• Precise Thermostatic Regulation & Hi-Limit Safety: The front control console features an intuitive variable thermostat dial for accurate temperature regulation, complemented by independent neon indicator lights displaying power status and active element heating. For complete fire safety compliance, an internal manual-reset hi-limit safety cut-out thermostat automatically isolates power if oil temperatures exceed safe thresholds.
• Substantial 16-Litre Capacity with Heavy-Duty Basket: The 16-litre stainless well provides ample thermal capacity, preventing extreme temperature drops when full baskets of cold frozen chips or chilled goujons are submerged. Supplied complete with a heavy-gauge nickel-plated wire mesh basket featuring a heat-resistant insulated Bakelite handle, a stainless steel night lid, and an internal crumb rack to prevent debris from resting directly against the heating coil.

Technical Specifications

Safety & Operation Advice: Never open the drain tap while the heating element is energized or without an appropriate heat-rated container placed securely underneath the spout. Always ensure oil is filled between the MIN and MAX markers before turning the thermostat dial.
