The Wolf WF400 is a commercial freestanding gas fryer with 45–50 lb oil capacity and 120,000 BTU input. The stainless steel fry tank includes 4 heat exchanger tubes for maximum heat transfer from burner to oil — delivering fast recovery after loading and consistent frying temperatures throughout service. The large V-shaped cold zone settles food particles below the active frying zone, extending oil life and improving fry quality.
The snap-action millivolt thermostat adjusts from 200°–400°F behind the door, and the 1-1/4" port ball valve provides controlled, fast oil drainage. Twin fry baskets with plastic-coated handles included. Stainless steel front top and reinforced door. Nickel plated adjustable legs. 15-1/2" wide. CSA Star, CSA Flame, NSF.
The Wolf WF400 is a commercial freestanding gas fryer designed for the volume, reliability, and temperature consistency that a professional frying operation requires. At 45–50 lb oil capacity and 120,000 BTU, it handles the production volume of most restaurant fry station applications — from appetizers and french fries to chicken, fish, and specialty fried items.
The 4-tube heat exchanger in the stainless steel fry tank distributes burner heat across a greater surface area, accelerating heat transfer from gas to oil and improving temperature recovery after loading cold product. Faster recovery means shorter time between fry cycles and more consistent fry quality during peak service periods when the fryer is loaded repeatedly.
The large V-shaped cold zone at the bottom of the fry tank is a food quality and oil life feature. Smaller food particles and breading that fall off during frying settle into the cold zone below the active frying temperature range — preventing them from continuing to cook and carbonize in the hot oil, which accelerates oil breakdown and introduces off-flavors to subsequent fry batches.
The snap-action millivolt thermostat operates without electricity — the control system runs on millivolt power generated by the standing pilot, making the fryer fully functional during power outages. The 1-1/4" port ball valve provides controlled, complete oil drainage. Twin baskets with plastic-coated handles, stainless steel front top and reinforced door, nickel plated adjustable legs.
