The FivePass™ heat transfer system in this fryer is unlike the multiple heat exchange tubes and burners found inside other fryers. The burner and heat exchange tubes look like they belong under the hood of a racecar, snaking back and forth with smooth bends. This design effectively extends the length of the heat exchange tubes while using s a single burner. This also increases the surface area to transfer more heat to the oil for the same amount of fuel burned. With 68% cooking efficiency and 78% thermal efficiency, this fryer is much better than other fryers on the market at harnessing the heat of burning gas. This fryer features a SoftStart™ ignition system that only uses 35,000 BTU/hr of gas at start up to gradually heat oil without breaking it down which will extend its life. When this fryer is idle it only burns 4,802 BTU/hr of gas to maintain the cooking temperature.

To easily set the frying temperature, this fryer has a simple solid state analog knob behind the door with a range from 200° to 390°F. This fryer features users selectable fat melt modes and electronic ignition.

Thanks to the built-in filtration system oil can be used for much longer without needing to be changed reducing downtime and operational costs. Filtration is provided by the KleenScreen PLUS® stainless steel mesh filter.
