Achieve consistent crunch, accelerate service turnaround, and maintain precise cooking standards with the Apuro CU622-A Single Electric Countertop Fryer. Engineered for cafes, takeaways, food trucks, bistros, and pub kitchens, this high-performance 5-litre commercial deep fryer combines a powerful 2.8kW heating element with an integrated digital timer and a front-mounted oil drainage valve to handle daily frying with minimal effort.
Delivering rapid heat-up times and fast thermal recovery between baskets, the 2.8kW commercial-grade element ensures frying oil stays at target temperatures even when frozen chips or battered fish fillets are dropped into the vat. An intuitive dial thermostat allows operators to adjust cooking temperatures accurately, while the integrated front digital timer provides audible alerts so kitchen staff achieve identical golden results on every batch, cutting food waste and eliminating undercooked tickets.
Oil maintenance and shift clean-downs are hassle-free thanks to the heavy-duty front-mounted drainage tap. Staff can drain cooled frying oil directly into filtering vessels without tipping or lifting heavy hot tanks. The included sub-element batter protection plate traps loose crumbs, batter flakes, and sediment in the cool zone below the heating element, preventing burnt debris from circulating and significantly extending the working life of your cooking oil.
Constructed throughout from high-grade commercial stainless steel, the CU622-A is built to endure the rigours of continuous service. It comes supplied with a heavy-duty mesh frying basket featuring an ergonomic stay-cool handle, sturdy non-slip rubber feet to ensure countertop stability, and a stainless steel night lid that seals the vat when inactive to shield oil from airborne dust, grease, and kitchen contaminants.
Generous 5-Litre Oil Capacity: Sized for multi-portion frying batches across small-to-medium commercial cooklines.
Rapid 2.8kW Commercial Element: Delivers fast heat-up and swift recovery times between consecutive frying orders.
Integrated Digital Timer: Ensures precise, repeatable cook cycles to standardise quality and prevent overcooking.
Front-Mounted Oil Drain Valve: Simplifies oil filtering and tank cleaning without heavy lifting or messy tipping.
Sub-Element Batter Plate Included: Protects the heating element and catches burnt sediment in the cold zone to prolong oil life.
Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Build: Resilient, corrosion-resistant chassis and tank designed for fast end-of-shift sanitising.
Commercial Wire Basket with Stay-Cool Handle: Safe, comfortable handling during repetitive, high-heat service.
Fitted Night Lid Included: Shields cooled cooking oil from moisture, airborne grease, and contaminants between shifts.
Non-Slip Rubber Feet: Anchors the fryer securely on commercial worktables during vigorous basket shaking.

To preserve frying oil quality, prevent carbon accumulation, and maintain heating element efficiency:
Oil Draining & Filtration: At the close of trade, switch off the appliance, isolate it from the wall outlet, and allow the oil to cool to a safe handling temperature (under 40°C). Position a commercial oil filter bucket beneath the front drain tap, open the valve slowly, and drain the spent oil through a commercial filter cone.
Component Removal & Washdown: Lift out the stainless steel night lid, wire frying basket, and sub-element batter plate. Wash them in a commercial pot-wash sink using warm water and a neutral commercial kitchen degreaser. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely before reassembly. Never introduce wet baskets into hot oil.
Element Head Cleaning: Wipe down the stainless steel heating element and the exterior control head casing using a soft microfibre cloth dampened with warm water. Never submerge the electrical control head, power cord, or 15A plug in water, and never spray the unit with a pre-rinse spray gun.
Regular Tank Boil-Out: To remove sticky polymerised grease and stubborn carbon deposits, close the drain tap, fill the tank with clean water up to the max line, and add a diluted, food-safe commercial fryer boil-out detergent. Heat gently for 15 minutes, switch off the power, allow to cool, drain via the front tap, scrub with a non-scratch nylon sponge, and rinse thoroughly. Neutralise with a splash of diluted white vinegar, wipe dry, and ensure the valve is tightly closed before refilling with fresh oil.
Night Lid Deployment: Place the stainless steel lid over the oil vat whenever the fryer is inactive or turned off overnight to prevent airborne contaminants, moisture, and dust from degrading oil quality.
The Apuro CU622-A is designed for countertop integration across commercial catering environments:
Dedicated 15A Electrical Connection: The 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 2.8kW (approx. 12.2A), it requires a dedicated 15A commercial power outlet. It cannot be plugged into a standard 10A domestic or light-commercial socket. Never file down the earth pin or use domestic adapters or extension leads.
Solid, Heat-Resistant Countertop: Position the 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 counter to eliminate movement during basket loading and shaking.
Clearances & Ventilation: Maintain at least 100 mm of clearance around the rear and sides of the unit for heat dissipation. Operate the fryer under a commercial kitchen exhaust hood or well-ventilated prep canopy compliant with AS 1668.2 to extract grease-laden cooking vapours.
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 placed well clear of washdown sinks and spray hoses.

Can I plug this fryer into a standard Australian 10 Amp wall socket?
No. The Apuro CU622-A features a high-performance 2.8kW heating element drawing approximately 12.2 Amps. It is fitted with an Australian standard 15 Amp plug (which features a larger earth pin) and requires a dedicated 15A commercial power outlet to operate safely without tripping safety breakers.
What is the purpose of the front drain tap?
The front-mounted drain tap eliminates the need to lift or tilt a heavy tank of oil. Once the oil has cooled below 40°C, staff simply open the front valve to drain oil directly through a filter cone into an oil disposal container or storage vat, making daily maintenance safe, fast, and mess-free.
Why is the sub-element batter plate important?
The batter plate sits directly beneath the heating element. It prevents sediment, breading, and batter scraps from settling directly on the elements or burning continuously on the tank floor, keeping the oil cleaner for longer and reducing the frequency of costly oil changes.
How does the integrated digital timer assist kitchen staff?
The digital timer allows kitchen staff to set precise cooking intervals for specific menu items like hot chips, onion rings, or calamari. The audible countdown alarm alerts operators when the cycle is complete, preventing overcooked food and ensuring uniform results regardless of who is working the cookline.
Does this fryer include safety cut-out protection if the oil gets too hot?
Yes. The element assembly is equipped with an automatic thermal safety cut-out sensor. If the oil reaches an unsafe temperature or if the fryer is accidentally turned on without sufficient oil in the tank, the safety switch automatically cuts power to the heating element to protect staff and prevent oil ignition.
