Commercial Electric Countertop Fryer | Single Tank Deep Fat Fryer | 2 Baskets | Lincat DF46

Q: How long does it take for the oil to heat up?

A: While times vary based on the starting oil temperature, you can typically expect it to reach 180°C in approximately 10-15 minutes thanks to its powerful 6kW element.

Q: Can I cook two different types of food at once?

A: Yes, the single tank twin basket fryer design allows you to cook two different items, like chips and  onion rings, in their own baskets simultaneously.

Q: Is this a plug-in fryer?

A: No, the Lincat DF46 is a powerful commercial unit that requires professional hardwiring to a single-phase electricity supply by a qualified electrician.

Q: What is the maximum chip capacity per basket?

A: Each of the two baskets is designed to hold approximately 1.5kg of chips for optimal cooking results.

Q: How often should I change the oil?

A: This depends on usage, but the 'cool zone' feature helps extend oil life. It's best practice to filter the oil daily and  change it when it becomes dark, smokes, or imparts off-flavours.

Q: Is it easy to clean the heating element?

A: Yes, the element is hinged and  can be lifted up, providing clear access to the bottom of the tank for simple and  thorough cleaning.

Q: Can I use solid cooking oil or fat?

A: Yes, but you must melt it slowly on a low heat setting first. Do not melt solid fat from cold on a high setting as this can damage the element.

Q: What is the benefit of a front-mounted drain tap?

A: It provides a much safer and  more convenient way to drain old oil directly into a suitable container, reducing the risk of spills and  burns associated with tipping the unit.
