The Roller Grill RFE12 is a silver stainless-steel countertop fryer. It has 1 oil tank and 1 frying basket. It is designed for commercial frying of fresh or frozen chips and can be placed on a suitable counter or the matching RF-MS stainless-steel cabinet.

The RFE12 has a 12Ltr oil tank and a maximum food charge of 2.5kg. These are different measurements: 12Ltr refers to the oil volume, while 2.5kg is the maximum food load for an individual frying cycle.

The RFE12 is intended for businesses with regular demand for freshly fried chips, including chip shops and fast-food takeaways. It can cook fresh or frozen chips, while its single-tank countertop layout suits operations that want concentrated frying capacity in one workstation.

A cooler zone beneath the heating elements allows loose food fragments to settle away from the main cooking area. This helps prevent crumbs from carbonising as quickly, supporting longer useful oil life and more manageable oil care during busy service.

The RFE12 has a large-capacity drain valve at the front to make controlled oil removal easier. Switch off and unplug the fryer, then allow the appliance and oil to cool completely before draining. Used oil can be passed through a suitable filter if it is being retained for reuse.

The RFE12 is a 9kW, 380V 3-phase electric fryer. The site supply, earthing and isolation arrangements should be checked before installation, with direct electrical connection entrusted to a suitably qualified person.

The RFE12 combines thermostatic heat control with an additional safety thermostat and a microswitch that prevents operation when the control unit is incorrectly positioned. The safety thermostat also stops heating if the fryer overheats or the oil level becomes too low.

The green light shows whether the fryer is switched on. The orange light stays illuminated while the oil is heating and goes out once the selected heat level has been reached, giving the operator a clear indication that the fryer is ready for cooking.

The fryer is supplied with 1 basket with an insulated, heat-resistant handle and 1 lid with a handle. The lid should be kept near the fryer for covering it after use or in an emergency, but it must not be fitted while the fryer is operating.

Place the fryer on a level, heatproof surface with at least 10 cm between it and a wall or partition. Keep it away from combustible materials and arrange the position so the electrical connection remains accessible. The unit can sit on a standard-depth counter or the RF-MS cabinet.

Confirm that the drain tap is closed and the control unit is fully inserted. Add oil while the elements are cold, keeping the level between the MIN and MAX marks, and never energise the fryer with uncovered elements. Solid fats should not be used because they can damage the heating elements.

Allow the fryer and oil to cool completely, unplug the appliance and remove the control unit. Clean the exterior with warm water, washing liquid and non-abrasive materials, then wipe with a damp sponge. Never immerse the control unit, cable or plug, and do not clean the fryer with a water jet.

The RFE12 has sturdy silver stainless-steel construction and is 400 mm wide. This independently supported width helps buyers plan the space required within a commercial counter run.

No integrated undershelf is included. The fryer is suitable for a standard-depth counter or can be paired with the RF-MS stainless-steel cabinet. A CW12 chip scuttle is also available as a separate companion unit for creating a modular cook-and-serve arrangement.

The Roller Grill RFE12 includes a 2-year parts and labour warranty. Warranty support remains subject to the applicable terms, including correct installation, operation and maintenance.
