The Benchstar EF-3250SAL Automatic Lifting Single Tank Electric Fryer is a high-precision, high-efficiency benchtop deep frying station engineered for Australian cafes, takeaway shops, food trucks, bistros, bars, and commercial prep kitchens. Featuring a heavy-duty 8-litre removable stainless steel oil tank and a 3kW heating assembly, this unit is built for frying high-margin menu items—including chips, calamari, fried chicken, donuts, and seafood—with exceptional speed and temperature recovery.
Designed to maximize kitchen productivity and consistency, the EF-3250SAL features an automated basket lift-up system with 10 programmable cooking profiles. Once the programmed fry cycle finishes, the basket lifts out of the oil automatically, eliminating overcooking, reducing oil absorption, and freeing up kitchen staff during busy peak periods. Built with a swing-up heating element, a digital control panel with a countdown buzzer, a 230°C thermal safety cut-off, and heavy-duty non-slip feet, this 15 Amp commercial unit is backed by a 1-year parts and labour warranty.

Operating & Cleaning Guidelines
-
Setup & Program Selection: Fill the 8L removable tank with fresh commercial frying oil between the MIN and MAX fill lines. Plug into a dedicated 240V 15A outlet and power on. Select your target temperature (+50°C to +200°C) or choose one of the 10 pre-set programs on the digital panel.
-
Auto-Lifting Frying: Load food into the nickel-coated basket and press Start. The basket lowers automatically into the oil. When the countdown timer reaches zero, an audible buzzer sounds and the basket lifts out automatically to drain excess oil.
-
End-of-Shift Sanitisation: Turn off power and allow the oil to cool completely. Tilt up the heating element assembly, lift out the 8L stainless steel tank, and filter or drain the oil. Wash the tank and basket in warm, food-safe soapy water, and wipe down the exterior chassis with a damp cloth.
