CASTA LADY 700 L7/FRE2V8 Electric Twin-Tank Fryer

A professional electric fryer with two independent 8 L tanks lets a busy kitchen run two batches or two different foods at once without mixing flavours. Each tank holds a measured volume of oil, heated by submerged stainless-steel elements that transfer energy directly into the liquid. The oil circulates by convection, so every part of the tank reaches the same temperature and food cooks evenly. A wire basket lowers into the hot oil, holding the food clear of the elements and allowing it to drain when lifted.

To begin, the operator fills each tank with fresh oil up to the marked level, fits the lid and basket, and sets the thermostat to the required temperature. The orange pilot light shows the unit is live; the green light confirms the elements are heating. Once the oil reaches the set point, the thermostat cycles the elements on and off to maintain steady heat. The basket is loaded with food, lowered gently to avoid splashing, and timed by sight or an external timer. When the food is golden and crisp, the basket is raised, drained over the tank, and the contents tipped onto a tray or rack.

The tanks are pressed from a single sheet of 1.5 mm AISI 304 stainless steel with rounded corners for strength and hygiene. Each element is sheathed in stainless steel and mounted on a pivot so it can be swung out of the tank for thorough cleaning. A separate stainless-steel oil-draining tank is supplied, allowing used oil to be decanted safely without spills. The control panel carries two indicator lights and a rotary thermostat knob for each tank. A safety thermostat cuts power automatically if the oil exceeds 230 °C, protecting both the appliance and the operator.

A 14 kW power rating means the fryer must be connected to a three-phase 400 V circuit capable of supplying the full load without voltage drop. The 400 mm depth and 700 mm width fit a standard worktop or mobile stand, while the 850 mm height leaves clearance above for the lid and basket handle. The adjustable stainless-steel legs level the unit on uneven floors and can be raised to allow a trolley underneath for moving.

Cleaning starts by switching off and unplugging the fryer, then allowing the oil to cool. The elements are rotated out of the tank, the oil is drained into the supplied tank, and the interior is wiped down with a soft cloth and mild detergent. The rounded corners and smooth welds prevent food debris from sticking, and the stainless-steel surfaces resist corrosion from both oil and cleaning agents. The cabinet door has a magnetic lock to keep the control panel dry and secure when not in use.

The L7/FRE2V8 is a twin-tank model; single-tank versions are also available in the CASTA LADY 700 range. The appliance is catalogued under professional fryers for medium to high-volume catering operations.
