Measure every doorway and turn on the delivery path; the narrowest side of the fryer is its 41" depth, and the crate is 46" on its narrowest side. Plan the gas supply and electrical connections before the fryer arrives.
Large, shallow vats
A larger, shallower vat gives more frying surface in the same footprint, and a "beach" takes up oil displacement when the basket goes in, for more even results with food that floats.
Fast recovery
High-efficiency burners with solid-state ignition and a heat-exchange design recover temperature quickly; a cold zone under the burners helps extend oil life.
Built-in filtration
The fryer filters its oil and returns it over the top of the vat to flush remnants, with no separate pump or pan to handle.
Simple controls
The standard Computron 1000 is programmable with an LED time and temperature display and simple up and down arrows.
