Apuro CP793-A 8L Commercial Induction Fryer 3kW | Single Tank Benchtop Fryer 15A

Slash energy costs, prolong cooking oil life, and maintain exceptional food consistency with the Apuro CP793-A 8L Single Tank Commercial Induction Fryer. Purpose-engineered for Australian cafes, restaurants, food trucks, takeaway shops, bistros, and catering kitchens, this heavy-duty 3kW countertop fryer harnesses advanced induction heating technology to deliver ultra-fast thermal recovery and uniform cooking temperatures on a standard single-phase 15A connection.

Cutting-Edge Induction Efficiency & Prolonged Oil Life

Unlike traditional deep fryers that rely on submerged immersion elements, the CP793-A utilizes high-efficiency external induction coils mounted around the perimeter of the tank. By heating the ferrous stainless steel vessel directly, thermal energy is distributed uniformly across the entire basin. This eliminates localised scorching and harsh element hot spots, keeping frying oil fresher for longer, preventing bitter burnt flavours, and slashing recurring oil replacement expenses by up to 30%.

Rapid 3kW Recovery & Consistent Frying Output

Driven by a high-output 3kW induction generator, the Apuro CP793-A reacts almost instantaneously to temperature drops when baskets of frozen chips, crumbed poultry, or battered fish are lowered into the vat. Rapid thermal recovery prevents excessive oil absorption, guaranteeing that chips, calamari, doughnuts, and arancini emerge golden, crisp, and oil-free during peak lunch and dinner rushes. The intuitive dial control allows operators to fine-tune frying temperatures across a wide 60°C to 190°C operational range.

Element-Free Seamless Tank & Integrated Front Drain Tap

End-of-shift sanitisation is fast, safe, and effortless. Because there are no exposed heating elements, brackets, or wiring inside the vat, the interior consists of a seamless, smooth stainless steel well that wipes spotless in seconds without snagging cleaning pads. The V-shaped oil pan channels cooking oil and loose crumb sediment directly toward the heavy-duty front-mounted drain tap, allowing kitchen staff to filter or discharge cooled oil safely into recovery tins without dangerous lifting or tipping.

Commercial Food-Grade Stainless Steel Build & Component Protection

Constructed throughout from high-grade commercial stainless steel, the CP793-A is engineered to endure rigorous back-of-house service. A base-mounted, slide-out washable air filter shields internal induction inverter electronics from airborne grease and dust, ensuring reliable long-term performance in demanding kitchen environments. The unit includes a commercial-grade wire basket with a stay-cool heat-resistant handle, an automatic thermal overheat cut-out, and a fitted stainless steel night lid to preserve oil quality between service periods.

Technical Specifications

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

To protect internal induction electronics, maintain oil hygiene, and ensure optimal thermal conductivity:

1. Power Down & Cool Off: At the end of trade, turn the thermostat dial to the off position, isolate the unit from the power outlet, and allow the frying oil to cool to a safe handling temperature (under 40°C).

2. Oil Draining via Front Tap: Place a commercial oil filter container or food-grade disposal bucket directly beneath the front drainage valve. Rotate the tap handle slowly to allow cooled oil to discharge through a filter cone. The sloping V-shaped pan ensures complete, gravity-fed draining with minimal residual oil pooling.

3. Internal Tank Sanitisation: Because the interior well is completely smooth and free of heating element coils, simply wipe down the stainless steel basin with a soft microfibre cloth dampened with warm water and a neutral, food-safe commercial kitchen degreaser. Rinse with fresh water and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Never use steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or harsh caustic chemicals that could scratch the stainless steel.

4. Basket & Night Lid Cleaning: Wash the wire frying basket and stainless steel night lid in a commercial pot-wash sink using warm water and detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reintroducing to the fryer. Never lower a wet basket into hot oil.

5. Base Air Filter Maintenance: Inspect the removable mesh air filter located on the base of the unit daily. Slide out the filter, rinse away airborne grease and dust with warm water and detergent, dry thoroughly, and slide back into position. A clean air filter is essential to maintain airflow across the internal induction inverter.

6. Electrical Safety: Never hose down the unit, submerge the chassis in water, or spray the appliance with a commercial high-pressure washdown hose or pre-rinse sink gun.

Benchtop Placement & Electrical Guidelines

The Apuro CP793-A is designed for countertop installation across commercial kitchens, catering trailers, and takeaway cooklines:

1. Dedicated 15A Electrical Connection: The induction fryer is fitted with a heavy-duty Australian 15 Amp plug (with a wider earth pin) and operates on standard single-phase 220–240V power. Drawing 3.0kW (approx. 13.0A), it requires a dedicated 15A commercial power outlet. It cannot be connected to a standard 10A domestic or light-commercial socket. Never file down the earth pin or use domestic adapters or extension cords.

2. Solid, Heat-Resistant Countertop: Position the 13.5 kg unit on a flat, level, sturdy, and heat-resistant commercial stainless steel workbench. Ensure all non-slip rubber feet make full, flat contact with the bench surface to eliminate movement during basket loading and shaking.

3. Clearances & Inverter Ventilation: Maintain at least 100 mm of clearance around the rear and sides of the appliance, and keep the area beneath the base air filter completely unobstructed to ensure continuous cooling airflow across the induction coils and electronics.

4. Separation from Open Flames & Water: Maintain a minimum distance of at least 400 mm between the open fryer vat and any adjacent open-flame cooking equipment (such as gas chargrills or wok burners) to eliminate the risk of grease splash ignition. Ensure the fryer is positioned well clear of washdown sinks and spray hoses.

5. Kitchen Extraction: Position the induction fryer under an approved commercial kitchen exhaust hood compliant with AS 1668.2 to capture grease-laden cooking vapours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I plug this induction fryer into a standard Australian 10 Amp power point?

No. The Apuro CP793-A has a powerful 3kW induction generator drawing approximately 13.0 Amps at 230V. It is fitted with an Australian standard 15 Amp plug (which features a wider earth pin) and requires a dedicated 15A commercial power outlet to operate safely without tripping safety breakers.

How does an induction fryer save on oil costs compared to traditional fryers?

In traditional element fryers, the extreme surface temperatures of the immersion coils create severe hot spots that scorch sediment, break down oil molecules, and accelerate oxidation. The Apuro CP793-A heats the entire tank wall evenly via induction, eliminating localized scorching. This preserves oil clarity and chemistry, allowing kitchens to use the same batch of oil significantly longer before replacing it.

Why is an element-free tank easier to clean?

Conventional fryers feature coiled electric elements and brackets submerged in the oil, making it awkward and time-consuming to wipe beneath the coils. With induction heating, the coils are located outside the tank, leaving an unobstructed, smooth stainless steel well that can be wiped clean in seconds with zero food traps.

What is the purpose of the base-mounted air filter?

Induction appliances rely on high-speed internal cooling fans to keep internal inverter electronics and magnetic coils within safe operating temperatures. The removable base filter prevents commercial kitchen grease and airborne dust from entering the chassis. It slides out easily for daily rinsing and maintenance.

Does this fryer include safety cut-out protection if the oil overheats?

Yes. The CP793-A is equipped with an integrated thermal safety cut-out sensor. If the oil reaches an unsafe temperature or if the unit is accidentally powered on without sufficient oil in the tank, the safety system automatically interrupts power to protect internal components and eliminate oil ignition risks.
