Common questions:

How much oil do I need to fill it?
120 L in total, at 40 L a pan, filled to the max oil level mark 280 mm above the base of each pan.

Why buy this instead of three RF-1E fryers?
Three RF-1E units take 1350 mm side by side, against 1270 mm here, and this model comes with a removable refill spout and an oil outlet hose. Three separate fryers can be placed apart or swapped one at a time, so go by your layout.

Does my site have enough power?
Each pan is rated 13.5 kW at 400 V and 20 A. Ask your electrician to size the supply from the 40.5 kW total before you order.
