Overview

Woodson W.FAS80 Auto-Lift Electric Fryer 8 Litre

The Woodson W.FAS80 is a single-pan electric fryer with an 8-litre oil capacity, purpose-built for commercial kitchens requiring consistent, efficient frying in a compact countertop footprint. Australian made and constructed from durable stainless steel throughout, the W.FAS80 suits cafes, restaurants, hotels, and catering operations handling short to medium batch frying of chips, chicken, seafood, pastries, and snacks. Suitable for use with liquid oil only.

The defining feature of the W.FAS80 is its digital timer-controlled auto-lift mechanism, which brings the frying basket up once the set cooking cycle has elapsed, enabling a true cook-and-leave operation. Combined with mechanical thermostat temperature control, an over-temperature safety cut-out, and a removable tilting element assembly, this fryer delivers repeatable results with minimal labour and straightforward maintenance.

Key Benefits

• The integrated auto-lift mechanism elevates the basket once the programmed cook time expires, freeing staff for other tasks and delivering consistent frying results every service.
• A digital timer with a 1-999 second/minute range gives precise control over cooking cycles, reducing the risk of over or under-frying.
• An over-temperature safety cut-out protects the unit and kitchen staff if operating temperatures are exceeded.
• Designed for 180°C frying with a cooking capacity of approximately 15 kg per hour of frozen 10 mm chips, supporting steady throughput during peak periods.
• The removable tilting element assembly and easily removable oil tank simplify cleaning and routine maintenance.
• A plug-and-lead 15A, 240V connection means no hardwiring is required, making the unit simple to install or relocate in any commercial kitchen.
• Compact countertop dimensions keep bench space usage to a minimum while still delivering commercial-grade frying output.
• Stainless steel construction throughout is hygienic, corrosion-resistant, and meets the durability demands of busy commercial use.
• Australian made, offering confidence in build quality and local support.
