For buyers comparing commercial fryers, this free-standing electric model is cooking equipment designed for everyday high-output use in restaurants, pub kitchens, canteens and other busy operations. Its twin-tank layout supports foods such as chips, chicken and seafood while allowing an operator to organise separate batches across the 2 tanks.

The fryer has a total capacity of 16Ltr, arranged as 2 x 8Ltr tanks. It is supplied with 2 baskets and 2 lids, with 1 strong basket for each tank. This provides space for larger items and allows separate frying loads to be managed at the same time.

Dual 6kW elements provide 12kW (12000 W) total power for rapid heat-up and recovery, helping the oil return to cooking temperature between loads. The armoured elements use low power density to support oil life while still delivering the output needed for a busy commercial service.

It is a 12kW electric fryer requiring a 400V 3-phase supply and hardwired installation. It must not be fitted with a plug; connection, earthing and the appropriate protected circuit should be handled by a qualified and competent electrical engineer.

The operating temperature range is 60°C to 190°C. For general frying, the operating guidance identifies 170°C to 180°C as a suitable setting, while the thermostat and heating indicator cycle the elements to maintain the selected temperature.

A thermal cut-out automatically disconnects power if the temperature exceeds safe levels, helping protect the oil and heating elements. After the fryer has cooled sufficiently and been checked for obvious damage, the front-mounted reset can be pressed until it clicks to restore operation.

Front-mounted drain taps allow each tank to be emptied after the oil has cooled to no more than 40°C. Hinged heating assemblies improve access to the tanks, while the silver stainless steel body supports routine cleaning. Disconnect power first, avoid abrasives and never immerse the lifting mechanism.

The assembled unit measures 850 mm high, 600 mm wide and 600 mm deep. Its 600 mm format is intended to align with other Buffalo 600 Series equipment, helping create a tidy, coordinated commercial cook line.

The free-standing fryer is fitted with strong, height-adjustable 150 mm feet, allowing it to be levelled on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Leave 200 mm between the appliance and walls or other objects for ventilation and keep it away from splashing water and flammable materials.

The Buffalo 600 Series includes a comprehensive 2-year parts and labour warranty. Correct professional installation, attended operation and regular cleaning remain important because unauthorised adjustment, unsuitable parts or operation outside the product instructions can affect warranty support.
