Benchstar IF3500S-AL - 8L Single Tank Induction Fryer with Auto Basket Lift

Benchstar IF3500S-AL - 8L Single Tank Induction Fryer with Auto Basket Lift

The Benchstar IF3500S-AL combines induction heating with an automatic basket lift, so busy cafes and quick service kitchens can set a program, walk away and come back to food that has already been lifted out of the oil. FED quotes temperature accuracy within about 2°C, around 90% energy efficiency, and up to 5 custom programs on the touch screen, while a cold zone stops crumbs burning and helps the oil last longer. It holds 8 litres of oil and needs a 15 A outlet. The IF3500S is the same capacity without the lift.

Key features:

• Automatic basket lift when cooking is complete, at 12.1 mm per second to a height of 127mm
• Fast induction heating with about 90% energy efficiency
• Touch screen control holding temperature within about 2°C
• Save and recall up to 5 custom cooking programs
• Cold zone keeps crumbs from burning, so oil stays cleaner and lasts longer
• Overheating and overvoltage protection

Common questions:

How does the auto lift work?
When the cooking time ends, the basket lifts out of the oil by itself, so food is not left frying if staff are busy elsewhere.

What is the cold zone?
It is a cooler part of the tank that stops food crumbs from burning. FED says this keeps the oil cleaner, keeps flavours pure and extends oil life.

What plug does it need?
It is rated at 3.5 kW and needs a 15 A outlet. If you don't have one, a licensed electrician must install it.
