Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

My business is at a high elevation; does this change anything when I order gas cooking equipment?
Many gas equipment manufacturers need to make adjustments to the equipment so it operates correctly at elevations over 2,000 feet. Sometimes we can special order from the manufacturer and have your cooking equipment delivered ready-to-go, but in cases where your unit is in stock and waiting to ship, you’ll need to have a qualified service technician come to your location and alter your unit at the time of installation so that it is compatible with a higher elevation. Contact our Special Orders team prior to placing your order, and we will let you know what will work best for the equipment you are planning to purchase.

Pros. The deep fryer is pretty powerful. Cons. It’s pretty loud if don’t like noise. For me, I don’t mind. But what bothered me is that in the description it says stainless steel and it’s not. The only thing that’s stainless steel is the front cover and around the vent. I would love to return it so I can get an all stainless steel one instead but it’s too late. My employees installed it and used it. Another con is the height from the front from bottom to up is more then what the specs says. It’s funny I even spoke to customer service about that before ordering it. And she confirmed it, but it turned out it’s higher then what is says. Other then that everything is fine.

Thank you for your review, Ali! Our Customer Solutions team has been in touch with you about this fryer. Please note, not all stainless steel looks like the brightly polished and brushed stainless steel that we are accustomed to on items like refrigerators or work tables. More information on the materials used in this product can be found in the product description or in the "Specsheet" document in the Resources and Downloads section on this page. If you have any further questions, please contact Customer Solutions!

I will not buy any other fryer. it replaces a smaller one of the same type and is 11 years old and still working. My only complaint is the temp. knob is very hard to turn on and off. I might have to call for warranty service...we'll see. Other than that it works fine and open pot vs tubed is a no brainer. I had another one once with tubes and it always leaked...even after repaired it developed a new leak. Never again. Webstaurant store is a great place to buy with good prices and nice people. Some snags getting this one on time but Jimmy followed the shipment and kept in touch with me daily and it all went well. Thanks Jimmy!

Now that it's working it does the job well. Had issues with flames coming out the top exhaust. Customer service eventually resolved the issue but at my expense. Brand new unit for only the customer to pay for incorrect factory specs as they said. I would not buy this brand again.
