HENDI Profi Line fryer with 8 L oil vat and digital panel

A deep fryer heats a measured volume of oil to a set temperature, then lowers a basket of food into the oil so the heat transfers quickly and evenly through the surface. The oil conducts heat far faster than air, so food cooks in minutes while the inside stays moist. A V-shaped vat concentrates the oil beneath the basket, reducing the total volume needed and keeping the temperature stable when food is added.

The operator pours oil into the vat up to the marked level, closes the lid and sets the desired temperature on the digital panel. A timer is programmed for the cooking cycle; when it expires the fryer switches off automatically. The basket, fitted with an extended handle for safe grip, is lowered into the hot oil and raised when the food is done. A drain tap at the base allows oil to be removed without tilting the unit.

The fryer is built from 18/0 stainless steel, chosen for resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning. The control panel is removable for separate cleaning and triggers an automatic shutdown if detached during operation. A thermostat with restart function maintains the set temperature and protects against overheating.

The 3.5 kW power rating indicates the load on the electrical circuit; a single-phase 230 V supply is required. The 8 L oil volume determines the batch size for typical items such as chips or battered fish. The compact footprint of 305 mm depth, 515 mm width and 345 mm height fits under most worktops, while the 9.05 kg weight allows the unit to be moved by one person when empty.

Cleaning involves draining the oil, removing the basket and lid, wiping the interior with a non-abrasive cloth and washing the control panel separately. The stainless-steel surfaces may be sanitised with standard kitchen agents.

The fryer is supplied complete with basket and lid, matching the Profi Line specification.
