Technical Specifications

Gas Installation & Commissioning Notice: Under Australian law, all commercial gas equipment must be installed and commissioned by a qualified, licensed gas plumber after installation. Proof of licensed gas commissioning is required to validate manufacturer warranty coverage.

Delivery & Freight Notice: Commercial heavy cooking equipment requires dedicated freight handling. Please contact our friendly sales team for a custom freight quote if delivery is required for a residential or non-commercial address.

Operating & Cleaning Guidelines

1. Setup & Commissioning: Ensure a licensed gas fitter connects the 1/2" LPG gas line, verifies gas pressure, and completes official commissioning. Fill the stainless steel vat with commercial frying oil up to the 37L line before igniting the burners.

2. Ignition & Frying: Light the standby pilot using the Robshaw millivolt control knob. Turn the thermostat dial to your target frying temperature (120°C–200°C). Once pre-heated, lower filled wire baskets into the oil to achieve fast, crisp frying.

3. Daily Hygiene & Oil Maintenance: At the end of service, turn off the gas supply and allow oil to cool. Open the 32 mm ball-type drain valve to filter oil through a heat-safe strainer. Wipe down the stainless steel tank interior, cold zone, and exterior panels with warm, soapy water and a mild commercial degreaser.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does the GasMax RC500ELPG require a 240V electrical connection?

No. The GasMax RC500ELPG operates using a self-generating Robshaw millivolt control system with a standing pilot light, meaning it functions entirely on gas power without needing an electrical wall plug.

2. What is the hourly production output of the GasMax RC500ELPG?

The GasMax RC500ELPG is capable of producing up to 43 kg of crispy fried chips or food per hour, making it ideal for high-volume takeaway lines and food trucks.

3. How many baskets are included with the RC500ELPG?

The GasMax RC500ELPG comes supplied complete with three heavy-duty commercial wire baskets and a stainless steel vat cover lid as standard equipment.

4. How does the cold zone extend oil life?

The tube heating design leaves a section of oil below the burner tubes at a lower temperature. Crumbs and food particles sink into this "cold zone" rather than staying against hot heating surfaces, preventing scorching and keeping cooking oil cleaner for longer.

5. What warranty covers the GasMax RC500ELPG gas fryer?

This commercial gas fryer comes standard with a 2-year parts and labour warranty, which extends by an additional 2 years for parts only when registered online within 14 days of invoice.
