Product Information

Full details

The Steelmore 28L Floor-standing Electric Fryer is designed for high-volume commercial kitchens, restaurants, and catering services that require reliable, consistent frying performance. Its standout benefit is the powerful 9kW heating element combined with a 28-litre capacity, allowing for rapid heat recovery during back-to-back service cycles. One important caveat is that this unit requires professional hardwired installation, making it less suitable for mobile operations or locations without dedicated single-phase electrical capacity.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I plug this fryer into a standard wall outlet?

No. Due to the 9kW heating element, this unit must be professionally hardwired to a compatible single-phase electrical circuit.

What is the purpose of the cold zone?

The cold zone is the area at the bottom of the tank where oil stays cooler. It collects crumbs and food debris, preventing them from burning and extending the longevity of your frying oil.

How often should I drain the oil?

Frequency depends on your usage volume, but the large-bore drain tap is designed to make daily or bi-daily oil filtration easy and efficient.

Is the unit suitable for outdoor catering?

It is designed primarily for indoor professional kitchens. Using it outdoors requires a stable power source and weather protection.

What safety features does the fryer have?

The unit includes an automatic high-limit thermostat and an integrated safety cut-out mechanism to prevent overheating.

Troubleshooting

Fryer fails to heat up

Check if the safety cut-out mechanism has been triggered. Reset the high-limit thermostat if required or check the hardwired electrical connection.

Oil is smoking or burnt taste

The oil may be depleted or the cold zone is overloaded with crumbs. Filter the oil and clean the tank floor thoroughly.

Temperature is inconsistent

Ensure the thermostat probe is clean and not coated in residue, which can cause inaccurate readings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rapid heat recovery for high-volume service
  • Large oil capacity reduces frequency of oil top-ups
  • Cold zone technology saves on oil costs
  • Durable, easy-to-clean stainless steel finish
  • Safety features include automatic high-limit cut-out

Cons

  • Requires professional hardwired installation
  • Large floor footprint may not suit small kitchens
  • High power consumption necessitates specific electrical infrastructure

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician, as the unit requires hardwiring into a single-phase supply capable of handling the 9kW load. Ensure the fryer is placed on a level, non-combustible floor surface with adequate ventilation clearance to allow heat to escape. For ongoing care, clean the stainless steel exterior with non-abrasive detergents to prevent scratching. Drain the oil regularly and use the large-bore tap to flush out the cold zone sediment. Ensure the oil level is always maintained between the 'Min' and 'Max' markers inside the tank before switching the heating element on to avoid damage.
