Gas fryer Virtus AMZ0060

A gas fryer heats cooking oil with a high-efficiency cast iron burner housed in an insulated combustion chamber. The burner's flame transfers heat directly to the oil, raising its temperature quickly and evenly. A thermostatic gas valve regulates the flame, maintaining the set temperature for consistent frying results. The insulated double-walled door retains heat, reducing energy waste and keeping the kitchen cooler.

To operate, fill the 13 litre tank with oil and set the desired temperature using the analogue dial on the front. The piezo ignition starts the burner, and the thermocouple safety system shuts off the gas if the flame fails. Once the oil reaches temperature, lower the basket into the tank to fry food. The upper tray with a perforated bottom holds precooked items, allowing excess oil to drain back into the tank. Combustion gases are vented through a dedicated chimney above the tank.

The fryer is built with a stainless steel exterior and a low-level drain tap for each tank, allowing safe and easy oil removal. A removable spout on the drain or filter simplifies cleaning. The front-mounted analogue temperature display, 7 cm in diameter, provides clear visibility of the oil temperature during operation.

The 17 kW gas burner delivers sufficient heat for a 50 kg/h output, making it suitable for high-volume frying. The unit's footprint of 550 x 920 mm fits standard worktop layouts, while its 1610 mm height allows placement under most overhead extraction systems. The weight ensures stability during operation, reducing the risk of tipping when the door is opened.

Cleaning involves draining the oil through the low-level tap, removing the spout for thorough rinsing, and wiping down the interior and exterior surfaces. The perforated upper tray should be cleaned separately to prevent oil build-up. The insulated door and combustion chamber require occasional inspection to ensure no grease or debris has accumulated.

This model is configured as a single-tank fryer on a base with an insulated door, designed for professional kitchens requiring reliable and efficient frying performance.
