CASTA LQ/FRE1V21 21 L Electric Fryer with Cabinet

An electric fryer with a 21 litre tank heats cooking oil by passing current through stainless-steel sheathed elements submerged beneath the oil. The elements transfer heat directly into the oil, raising its temperature quickly and evenly. A cold zone at the bottom of the tank collects food particles and crumbs, keeping them away from the hottest areas. This slows oil breakdown, reduces the frequency of oil changes and cuts running costs in a busy kitchen.

The operator lowers a stainless-steel basket filled with food into the hot oil. A thermostat, mounted inside the heating elements, measures the oil temperature and switches the elements on or off to hold the set point. A second, independent safety thermostat cuts power if the oil overheats, preventing fire or equipment damage. Two indicator lights on the control panel show when power is on and when the elements are heating. After the food is cooked, the basket is lifted out, drained and emptied. The oil remains in the tank, ready for the next batch.

To start a session, the operator fills the tank with fresh oil up to the marked level, closes the lid and sets the thermostat to the required temperature. Once the oil reaches the set point, the heating light goes out and the fryer is ready. The basket is loaded, lowered and timed. When the food is done, the basket is raised and the food drained. At the end of service, the oil is drained through a chromed-brass tap into a stainless-steel container fitted with a filter, allowing the oil to be reused. The tank and cold zone are then cleaned with warm water and detergent, and the heating elements are rotated out of the way for thorough access.

The fryer is built from AISI 304 stainless steel throughout: the tank, work surface, doors and adjustable legs. The tank is drawn from a single sheet with 1.5 mm walls and rounded edges to prevent food or oil from catching. The work surface has a large, rounded basin that gives the oil room to expand when baskets are lowered, stopping overflow. A magnetic closure on the doors keeps the cabinet secure and easy to open. The adjustable legs let the unit sit level on uneven floors and can be set to match the height of adjacent equipment.

The control panel has two indicator lights. One shows that the fryer is powered; the other shows that the heating elements are active. The thermostat dial sets the oil temperature up to 190 °C. A separate safety thermostat cuts power if the oil reaches 230 °C, protecting the fryer and the kitchen.

A 20 kW power rating means the fryer draws a substantial current and must be connected to a three-phase 400 V supply. This is standard in professional kitchens where high-capacity appliances are used. The 21 litre tank holds enough oil to cook large batches of chips, fish or other fried items without frequent refilling. The 400 mm depth, 900 mm width and 850 mm height give the fryer a compact footprint that fits into most kitchen layouts while leaving space for the operator to work safely around it.

Cleaning is straightforward because every part that touches oil is stainless steel and designed for easy access. The cold zone collects residues, which are drained through the tap. The heating elements rotate out of the tank, so the interior can be scrubbed without obstruction. The oil draining tank has a built-in filter to catch particles, keeping the oil clean for reuse. The work surface and doors wipe down quickly, and the rounded edges prevent dirt from collecting.

The fryer is supplied with a basket, a lid and a stainless-steel oil draining tank. No other variants or accessories are listed for this model.
