Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My fryer won't heat up at all. Could this be the problem?

Q: Is this part compatible with single-phase Buffalo fryers?
A: No, this temperature limiter is specifically designed for the three-phase electrical system of the HU198 model only.
Q: Why do I need a qualified engineer to fit this?
