Commercial Freestanding Single Tank Electric Fryer Features & Performance
- Generous 16-Litre Single Oil Well: Designed to meet the demands of busy commercial services. The 16-litre capacity allows operators to cook full portion baskets of chips, battered sausages, fried chicken, or onion rings with ample oil volume to maintain frying velocity and prevent cold spots.
- Rapid 3kW Heat-Up & Automatic Temperature Cycling: Equipped with an efficient 3kW submerged heating element that delivers fast preheating and rapid temperature recovery when chilled or frozen items are introduced into the oil. The automatic heat-cycling thermostat accurately monitors the well, pulsing heat as required to ensure crisp outer textures without greasy oil saturation.
- Integrated Front Drainage Valve: Filtering and discarding hot oil from standard countertop fryers is clumsy and hazardous. The INF-161FS features a heavy-duty brass drainage valve located neatly inside the lower cabinet door. Staff can drain cooling oil directly into filtering buckets or collection containers cleanly, safely, and without heavy lifting.
- Enclosed Commercial Stainless Steel Cabinet: Built entirely from food-grade stainless steel with reinforced internal bracing. The swinging front access door conceals the drainage valve and creates practical storage space beneath the frying basin for oil containers, filters, and cleaning tools, keeping busy cooklines tidy and hazard-free.
- Overheat Cut-Out & Dry-Burn Safety Systems: Engineered in full compliance with UK commercial kitchen health and safety standards. An integrated high-limit safety cut-out thermostat automatically isolates power if oil temperatures exceed safe thresholds, while dry-burn protection safeguards heating elements from accidental damage.
- Standard UK 13A Plug & Play Convenience: Operating at 3kW on standard 230V single-phase power, the INF-161FS comes fitted with a standard UK 13A 3-pin plug. This allows immediate installation on standard ring mains or generator hookups without expensive commercial hardwiring or electrician call-out fees.
- Complete with Heavy-Duty Wire Basket & Lid: Supplied ready to work out of the box, including a durable nickel-plated mesh frying basket with an insulated cool-touch handle, front resting hooks for draining oil back into the well, and a stainless steel night lid to protect clean oil from dust and airborne contaminants between shifts.
