The deep fat fryers Profi manufactured by frifri aro SA are available in three variants 6, 8 & 10.
The difference is between the number of frying pots and power execusion of the heating element.
The deep fryers essentially consist of a frying pot in which a submerged heating element heats the frying
oil and keeps it at the required frying temperature.
The frying basket with the product being fried is lowered into the hot frying oil manually.
The selection of the required frying temperature (in steps of 5°C between 150°C and 190°C) is made by
the rotary knob „ 12 positions“ in front of the deep fryer.
The FMC allows to heat up slowly the fat up to 75°C, to avoid smoke and to deteriorate the fat.
The led lights indicate the working mode of the fryer or a possible default.
