BHS-G Gas Fryer with Cold Zone & Electronic Control – 2 x 22 L

A gas fryer that keeps oil clean by trapping food debris below the heating zone, preventing burnt particles and extending oil life. The burners heat the oil from above the cold zone, where sediment settles out of the cooking path. This separation reduces off-flavours and cuts oil replacement frequency, lowering running costs in busy kitchens.

The fryer uses a sealed gas burner system with electronic ignition and continuous flame supervision. When the operator sets the temperature, the control modulates the burner to hold the oil within a degree of the target. A built-in timer starts when the basket is lowered, and an alarm sounds when the countdown ends. Standby mode reduces the temperature between services, saving gas and keeping the oil ready for the next load. A dedicated melting function gently warms solid fat to liquid without overheating, protecting the oil's quality from the start.

To use the fryer, the operator fills the 22 L tanks with oil, sets the temperature between 110 and 190 °C, and selects the timer duration. The electronic display shows the current oil temperature and the remaining time. Once the oil reaches the set point, the operator lowers the basket of food into the hot oil. The cold zone beneath the heating elements catches any crumbs or batter that fall through, keeping the cooking oil cleaner for longer. When the timer sounds, the basket is lifted out, and the food is drained before serving. The fryer can hold the temperature in standby mode between batches, or the operator can shut it down and drain the oil through the valve at the base.

The fryer is built with a deep-drawn AISI 304 stainless steel tank, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning. The top plate is embossed to prevent oil from pooling, and all edges and corners are rounded to eliminate sharp angles where dirt could collect. A high chimney directs steam and vapour away from the appliance's interior, reducing condensation and corrosion. The drain valve at the base connects to an oil container with a built-in filter, simplifying oil changes and filtering out debris. The body is made of high-quality stainless steel, and the legs are adjustable to level the fryer on uneven floors.

The electronic control panel includes a temperature set point, a timer, a standby button, and a melting function. The temperature set point adjusts the oil temperature in one-degree increments, while the timer counts down from the selected duration. The standby mode lowers the temperature to a preset level, and the melting function runs a low-temperature cycle to liquefy solid fat. Alarms sound when the timer ends or if the temperature deviates from the set point, alerting the operator to check the fryer.

The 42.2 kW power rating indicates the gas load the fryer places on the supply, requiring a dedicated gas line sized for the appliance. The 230 V electrical connection powers the control system and ignition, drawing minimal current. The 2 x 22 L volume allows two separate vats of oil, each with its own basket, enabling different foods to be fried simultaneously without flavour transfer. The 400 x 930 mm footprint fits standard worktop depths, while the 850 to 1040 mm height accommodates the chimney when extended. The 4 x 140 x 400 x 120 mm basket size determines the maximum load per batch, guiding portion control and workflow planning.

Cleaning involves draining the oil through the valve and filter, then wiping down the tank, top plate, and exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The rounded edges and embossed surfaces prevent grease from sticking, making daily cleaning quicker. The drain valve and filter should be checked regularly to ensure they are free of debris, and the chimney should be inspected for blockages. The adjustable legs should be checked for stability, and the gas connection should be tested for leaks as part of routine maintenance.

The fryer is available for different gas types, including G20, G25, G25.3, G2.350, G27, and G30/G31. The order must specify the gas type to ensure the correct burner and regulator are fitted. The appliance is CE approved and tested by a notified body, confirming compliance with European safety standards. The hair-joint connection system allows seamless integration with other GORT LINE 900 units, creating a continuous worktop for larger kitchens.

This gas fryer is categorised under professional fryers in the BHS-G range, designed for high-volume frying in restaurants, hotels, and catering operations.
