The heater with a power of 5.0kW is controlled by a potentiometer located on the control panel. It is possible to set the operating temperature in the range of 60~200°C. The installed splash-proof switch allows you to turn off the device without having to disconnect the power cable from the mains. In addition, the control panel has a protective cover made of very durable polycarbonate that protects the panel from oil splashes during frying. This makes it much easier to keep your air fryer clean. The removable heater can be hung on special holders in the position where the dripping oil is returned to the tank. The fryer has an additional safety feature that automatically turns off the heater when it is removed from the tank. An additional protection protects it from overheating at temperatures above 260°C.
A particularly useful feature of YATO fryers is the use of the so-called "cold zone", i.e. the gap between the heater and the bottom of the tank. This function uses the phenomenon that the heat generated by the heater rises to the top, heating the oil. On the other hand, under the heater, the oil temperature is lower. As a result, crumbs and food residues falling to the bottom of the tank are stored in oil at a lower temperature and do not burn.
The freestanding fryer has an additional 370x315x390mm cabinet underneath with a lockable door. Inside the cabinet, at a height of 32cm, there is a drain tap, allowing you to drain the oil from the tank. This is a particularly useful feature that allows the oil to be changed very quickly. In addition, it allows you to pour your old oil directly into the canister, thus minimizing the risk of spilling it. The cabinet is mounted on four legs with height adjustment in the range of 13.5~16cm.
Both the housing and the lids of the fryer are made of high-quality stainless steel. This makes the fryer quick to clean and keep clean.
The YATO fryer has a very durable basket with dimensions of 250x230x120mm, which has a plastic, non-heating handle. On the other hand, special hooks allow the basket to be hung directly above the tank, minimizing the risk of oil splashing on the worktop. This significantly increases the cleanliness of the workstation and minimizes the time needed for cleaning.
The fryer, powered by 380~400V, measures 520x365x935mm and weighs 16kg.
