Electric fryer CASTA E7/FRE1V13

An electric fryer with a 13 litre tank heats cooking oil to a consistent temperature, allowing food to be submerged in a wire basket for rapid, even frying. The oil transfers heat far more efficiently than air, so the exterior crisps while the interior cooks through without drying out. A thermostat cycles the heating elements to maintain the set temperature, while a safety thermostat cuts power if the oil overheats, preventing fire and oil breakdown.

The operator fills the tank with fresh oil, closes the lid to reduce heat loss and sets the thermostat to the required temperature. Once the oil reaches the target, the green indicator light confirms the heating elements are live. The basket is loaded with food, lowered into the oil and timed according to the product. After frying, the basket is lifted, drained over the tank and the food transferred to a holding area. The lid is replaced to keep the oil clean between batches.

The fryer's tank is a single pressing of 1.5 mm AISI 304 stainless steel with rounded edges, designed for durability and hygienic cleaning. High-efficiency stainless steel heating elements are housed in protective sheaths and can be rotated out of the tank for thorough cleaning. A 12 kW power rating draws a substantial load, requiring a dedicated 400 V three-phase circuit to avoid overloading kitchen supplies. The footprint of 400 mm width by 700 mm depth fits within a standard worktop run, while the 850 mm height allows the cabinet beneath to store baskets, oil filters and cleaning tools.

Controls consist of an electric thermostat that regulates oil temperature up to 190 °C, an orange power-on indicator and a green heating-element indicator. A safety thermostat interrupts power if the oil exceeds 230 °C. The cabinet door is steel with a magnetic lock, and adjustable stainless steel legs provide stability on uneven floors.

The appliance includes a stainless steel oil draining tank, a wire basket and a lid. Cleaning involves rotating the heating elements out of the tank, wiping down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth and degreaser, and emptying the oil through the drain valve into the provided tank. Regular filter changes and oil top-ups maintain performance and extend oil life.
