CASTA EASY 700 Electric Fryer with Cabinet – 17 Litre Capacity

An electric fryer with an integrated storage cabinet, designed to deliver consistent frying results in a compact footprint. The unit heats a fixed volume of oil using submerged stainless-steel elements. A fan-free convection current circulates the oil, transferring heat evenly to the food in the basket while the lid reduces splashing and heat loss.

The operator fills the 17 L tank with fresh oil, lowers the basket into place, and closes the lid. The orange power indicator lights when the unit is switched on; the green light confirms the elements are heating. A single thermostat dial sets the oil temperature up to 190 °C, and the safety thermostat cuts power automatically if the oil exceeds 230 °C. Once the set temperature is reached, the basket is loaded with food, lowered into the oil, and timed by the operator. After frying, the basket is lifted out, drained over the tank, and the food transferred to a holding area. The oil can be drained via the included stainless-steel tank for filtering or disposal.

The fryer tank is a single-piece AISI 304 stainless-steel pressing with 1.5 mm walls and rounded internal edges, welded to the outer cabinet. The heating elements are housed in protective sheaths and can be rotated out of the tank for thorough cleaning. A magnetic lock secures the cabinet door, while four adjustable stainless-steel legs allow the unit to sit level on uneven floors.

The 16.5 kW power rating requires a three-phase 400 V supply, the standard circuit for heavy-duty catering equipment. The 400 mm width and 700 mm depth fit a standard worktop run, while the 850 mm height allows the cabinet to store frying baskets, oil filters and cleaning tools below the fryer. The 17 L oil capacity supports medium-volume frying without frequent refills.

Cleaning involves draining the oil, rotating the elements clear of the tank, and scrubbing the single-piece pressing with non-abrasive pads. The oil-draining tank and lid are dishwasher-safe. The control panel and indicator lights are wiped with a damp cloth, avoiding direct water contact.

The EASY 700 E7/FRE1V17 is supplied with a frying basket, lid and stainless-steel oil-draining tank. The unit is classified under CASTA's EASY 700 series of electric fryers.
