Description
Maximize frying output while conserving valuable counter space with the Infernus INEF-171L Commercial 17L Single Tank Electric Countertop Fryer. Engineered specifically for space-restricted commercial kitchens—such as busy breakfast cafés, street food trailers, pub snack passes, burger vans, and mobile event kiosks—this 3kW countertop workhorse pairs a 17-litre stainless tank with the simple convenience of a standard 13-amp plug-and-play setup.
Commercial 17L Single Tank Electric Fryer Features & Performance
- Space-Saving 17L Tank with 9.8L Oil Capacity: Measuring just 295mm wide, the INEF-171L delivers commercial frying power without occupying critical prep surfaces. The deep-drawn 17-litre stainless well features marked fill lines for a 9.8-litre working oil level, providing ample thermal mass to maintain frying temperatures when dropping full wire baskets of frozen chips, goujons, or battered fish.
- Plug & Play 13-Amp UK Electrics (3kW): Rated at 3kW, the unit comes pre-wired with a standard UK 13-amp 3-pin plug. It requires no three-phase power connections or costly electrician call-out fees. Simply place the fryer on a level stainless counter, fill with oil, plug into a standard wall socket, and start cooking immediately.
- Accurate Thermostatic Control (50°C to 190°C): Equipped with a responsive front-mounted rotary thermostat dial with dedicated neon heating indicators. The broad 50°C to 190°C temperature range allows kitchen staff to blanch chips at lower temperatures or crank heat up to 190°C for fast, golden finishing during peak orders.
- Lift-Out Element & Removable Oil Basin for Rapid Cleaning: Cleaning fixed-element fryers can be slow and hazardous. The INEF-171L features a hinged, lift-up heating element assembly and a fully removable inner stainless steel oil tank. Staff can lift the entire tank out by its integrated handles to filter used oil directly into containers and carry the basin straight to the potwash sink.
- High-Limit Thermal Safety Protection: Built with commercial safety in mind, the heating head incorporates an automatic manual-reset high-limit safety cut-out thermostat. If oil levels drop or temperatures exceed safe operating parameters, power to the heating element is instantly isolated.
- Durable Commercial Stainless Steel Chassis: Constructed from food-grade stainless steel with non-slip rubber feet to ensure stable placement during fast basket handling. Supplied complete with a heavy-duty nickel-plated wire basket with a heat-resistant insulated handle, a stainless steel night lid, an internal crumb wire rack, and a rear basket resting hook for oil drainage.
