Overview

Austheat AF813 Freestanding Electric Fryer, 3 Baskets

The Austheat AF813 is an Australian-made freestanding electric deep fryer built for the rigours of high-volume commercial kitchens. With a single 43-litre oil capacity pan and three heavy-duty stainless steel baskets, it supports continuous batch frying across fish and chip shops, takeaways, cafés and busy restaurants. The 1.5mm stainless steel tank and robust all-stainless construction are designed to handle the demands of daily service, while swing-up immersion heating elements allow straightforward access to the tank for cleaning and maintenance.

A cook/idle switch linked to dual thermostats lets operators drop to a lower holding temperature during quiet periods, cutting energy consumption without letting the oil cool entirely. Manual-reset over-temperature safety cut-outs protect both equipment and staff, and the pan can be used open without baskets for wet-batter products. Rear castors paired with adjustable front legs make it easy to reposition for cleaning or servicing, and optional tank joining covers (SS1794) allow multiple units to be configured modularly side by side.

Key Benefits

• 43-litre oil capacity supports larger batch volumes and sustained high-throughput service without constant oil top-ups.
• Three included stainless steel baskets allow simultaneous cooking of different products, improving output and workflow efficiency.
• Cook/idle dual-thermostat control reduces energy costs during slower periods by maintaining oil at a lower idle temperature rather than full cooking temperature.
• Fast heat-up to 180°C in approximately 10 minutes reduces wait times at the start of service.
• Open-pan wet-batter capability means the unit serves a wider menu range without additional equipment.
• Swing-up heating elements provide unobstructed access to the smooth tank interior and lockable 1-inch drain, making daily cleaning faster and more thorough.
• Manual-reset over-temperature safety cut-outs provide a reliable last line of defence against overheating, protecting staff and the equipment itself.
• Rear castors and adjustable front legs make repositioning straightforward for cleaning, servicing or kitchen reconfiguration.
• Modular joining capability via the optional SS1794 cover allows multiple fryers to be paired together, scaling capacity to match larger operations.
