Separate manual gas shutoffs at the front allow for convenient servicing.
Designed with workflow and cleaning in mind, the fryer includes a tube rack that directs crumbs and debris into the cool zone, extending oil life. A removable basket hanger requires no tools, and the unit comes equipped with a full-port 1-1/4 inch drain valve for fast draining, along with a drain extension, clean-out rod, and a fryer cleaner sample packet.
