MBM MAGISTRA PLUS 700 Electric Fryer – 13 Litre Capacity

An electric fryer heats a measured volume of oil to a controlled temperature, allowing food to cook quickly and evenly while developing a crisp exterior. The heating element sits below the oil, transferring energy directly into the liquid. A thermostat monitors the temperature and cycles the element on and off to hold the set point, preventing scorching and ensuring consistent results across batches. The fryer's tank is shaped to create a cold zone at the bottom, where food particles settle instead of burning, extending the life of the oil and simplifying cleaning.

To operate the MAGISTRA PLUS 700, the user fills the 13 litre tank with fresh oil, ensuring the level stays below the maximum mark. The thermostat is set between 90 °C and 190 °C, depending on the food being fried. Once the oil reaches the chosen temperature, the basket is loaded with food and lowered into the tank. A timer or visual check determines when the food is ready; the basket is then lifted, drained briefly over the tank, and the food transferred to a holding area. After use, the oil is cooled and drained through the front outlet into a collection tank fitted with a stainless steel filter, removing debris before the oil is stored or discarded.

The fryer is constructed from AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, 1 mm thick, with a continuous weld along the tank seams for hygiene and durability. The tank itself is moulded with rounded corners to eliminate crevices where food residue could collect. Inside, armoured electric heating elements tilt out of the tank for thorough cleaning. A large front drainer simplifies oil removal and daily maintenance, while a safety thermostat prevents overheating.

The 9.0 kW power rating requires a 400 V three-phase supply, the standard circuit for professional kitchen equipment. The 53 kg weight indicates a freestanding unit that can be positioned on a worktop or mobile stand without additional reinforcement. The 400 mm width, 714 mm depth and 850 mm height fit within a typical commercial kitchen footprint, leaving space for adjacent appliances and workflow.

Cleaning involves tilting the heating elements out of the tank, wiping down the interior with a non-abrasive cloth, and rinsing the cold zone to remove settled particles. The front drainer and oil collection system are designed for quick disassembly, allowing the stainless steel filter to be cleaned or replaced. The thermostat and safety cut-out should be checked periodically to ensure they respond correctly to temperature changes.

The MAGISTRA PLUS 700 is a single-tank electric fryer with no stated variants or additional configurations.

This fryer is listed in the professional catering equipment catalogue under electric fryers, alongside other MBM models designed for high-volume frying.
