Overview

Waldorf FN8224EE 800 Series 450mm Twin Pan Electric Fryer

The Waldorf FN8224EE is a 450mm twin pan electric deep fryer from the redesigned 800 Series, delivering 17kW of frying power across two independent 12-litre pans for a combined 24-litre oil capacity. Built in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel throughout, it is engineered for the demands of high-volume commercial kitchens requiring consistent output, precise temperature management, and straightforward daily servicing.

Each pan is heated by three 2.83kW stainless steel heating elements and controlled independently via digital display electronic thermostats, providing precise temperature management and the flexibility to fry different products simultaneously. A production rate of 31kg per hour, paired with programmable basket timers, melt cycles, and fail-safe over-temperature cut-outs, makes the FN8224EE a dependable workhorse for fast-paced foodservice operations.

Key Benefits

• Independent digital controls on each pan allow two different products to be fried simultaneously at different temperatures, maximising menu flexibility.
• A 31kg per hour production rate with fast heat recovery keeps throughput high during peak service periods.
• Programmable basket timers with countdown displays and audible alarms per pan reduce the risk of over- or under-cooked product and free up operator attention.
• Hinge-out counterbalanced heating elements and an easy-clean open pan design simplify daily cleaning and routine servicing, reducing downtime.
• Fail-safe over-temperature safety cut-outs and an element tilt switch that cuts power when elements are lifted protect the unit and kitchen staff.
• Programmable melt cycles allow solid-fat products to be safely liquefied before full frying temperature is reached, protecting elements and extending oil life.
• 25mm drain valves on each pan make oil changes faster and less messy compared to smaller-diameter fittings.
• Fully modular construction and a low-back model option (FNL) support flexible kitchen layouts and straightforward equipment replacement.
• Two standard baskets and a stainless steel lid are included in the box, so the unit is ready for immediate use on delivery.
