Overview

Waldorf FNL8224E 800 Series 450mm Twin Pan Electric Fryer Low Back Version

The Waldorf FNL8224E is a heavy-duty 450mm twin pan electric fryer from the 800 Series, designed for high-volume commercial kitchens that demand consistent output and straightforward operation. Each pan holds 12 litres of oil and the unit delivers a combined 17kW of power through six stainless steel heating elements, achieving a production rate of 31kg per hour to keep up with even the busiest service periods.

Built to a fully modular design for easy installation, servicing and cleaning, the FNL8224E features bull nose welded 304 stainless steel construction throughout, mechanical thermostatic controls and a low back configuration suited to ventilated canopy setups. Hinge-out counterbalanced heating elements, 25mm drain valves and fail-safe safety cut-outs make daily maintenance and safe operation straightforward for kitchen staff.

Key Benefits
