Built to last

Delivery and setup
- Ships by freight carrier; the shipping cost depends on your location. See our shipping policy for details.
- Call (201) 467-8222 for the current lead time before you schedule installation.
- Choose natural gas or LP when you order. If your kitchen is above 2,000 feet, tell us the elevation so Royal can set the unit up for it.
- A qualified gas installer must connect it with a manual shut-off valve following local codes; no external regulator is needed. On casters, Royal calls for a quick-disconnect flexible connector and a restraining device.
- Boil out the new tank with a non-chlorine boil-out product before the first fill.
- Inspect the shipment before signing and note any visible damage on the freight bill.
Questions buyers ask
How much oil does it hold?
The stainless steel tank holds 75-80 lbs. of oil, and the frying area is 17 1/2" x 18".
Does it need electricity?
Yes. Royal lists 120V, 60 Hz, 1-phase at 2 A, with a 6' cord and a standard 3-prong grounded plug.
What gas connection does it need?
A 3/4" NPT connection at the right rear with a manual shut-off valve. Manifold pressure is 3.5" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for propane; no external pressure regulator is required.
Does it have a built-in filter?
No. The RHEF-75-DM is a single fryer without a filter. Royal builds the same fryer with a built-in filter as the RHEF-75-1 to -5 models, and sells the RPF-50 portable filter.
What does the DM control do?
It is a digital solid state thermostat.
How much clearance does it need?
6" at the rear and sides from combustible walls and 0" from non-combustible walls.
What does the warranty cover?
Royal covers RHEF fryers and fryer filter systems for 2 years parts and labor from installation (up to 30 months from manufacture). The stainless steel fry tank has a 10-year prorated warranty. Labor is covered when an authorized Royal service agency does the work.
How do I clean it?
Filter the oil at the end of each day and wash the baskets and loose parts. Once a week, drain the tank and run a boil-out with a non-chlorine commercial boil-out product.
