CASTA Lady 900 Gas Fryer 8+8 L

The CASTA Lady 900 L9/FLG2V8 is a gas fryer designed for professional kitchens. The top table is pressed and incorporates a large, rounded bowl designed to manage oil expansion.

Gas fryers operate by heating oil within tanks using gas burners. In this model, heating is achieved via flame tubes positioned inside the tanks, which are fitted with internal fins to enhance heat exchange. High thermal efficiency burners produce the heat. A mechanic valve and safety thermocouple facilitate a quick temperature increase. The unit is equipped with piezoelectric ignition for the pilot light, powered by an independent battery. The cooking oil temperature is regulated by adjusting the gas supply valve to the burners. The maximum working temperature is set at 190 °C. A safety thermostat is included to cut off the gas supply if the oil temperature rises above 235 °C. Both the cooking thermostat and safety thermostat bulbs are located within the tank and protected from accidental impacts.

Operation involves filling the tanks with oil, igniting the pilot light, and setting the desired cooking temperature using the gas control valve. Once the oil reaches temperature, food can be lowered into the tanks using baskets. The included baskets measure 120x300x120 mm. After cooking, food is removed, and oil can be drained via the chromate-brass oil-discharging tap into a steel bowl fitted with a stainless steel filter.

Construction includes AISI 304 stainless steel for the tanks, door, and adjustable legs. The door features magnetic closing.

The power rating of 11.6 kW indicates the rate at which the appliance consumes gas to generate heat. The dimensions of 400 mm (width) by 900 mm (depth) by 850 mm (height) define the unit's footprint and space requirements. The total volume of 8 + 8 L refers to the capacity of the two cooking tanks. The weight of 65 kg provides an indication of the unit's mass for placement and installation.

Cleaning involves draining the oil, removing the filter, and wiping down the stainless steel surfaces. The oil-discharging tap facilitates oil removal.
