Maximum Control
Equipped with solid-state digital controls, this unit features two countdown timers, compensating time adjustment, and an automated temperature control boil-out mode. The temperature can be adjusted from 200-390 degrees Fahrenheit, and the control allows the unit to react within 2 degrees Fahrenheit of the set temperature, which provides faster recovery and improves overall performance. A SoftStart ignition system combines with three selectable melt modes to allow you to gradually heat up your oil and help preserve its life, while also using fewer BTUs.

Powerful Operation
With an oil capacity of 45-50 lb., this Vulcan PowerFry5 natural gas floor fryer is packed with great benefits to make your frying experience as easy and efficient as possible. Boasting a 14" x 14" frying area, this tube-style fryer delivers 70,000 BTU of power and comes with two twin fry baskets, so you can get to frying as soon as you fill the tank!

Boasts Quick Recovery
This fryer features Vulcan's exclusive FivePass heat transfer system that passes heat to the oil for a much quicker recovery, yielding 66% cooking and 78% thermal efficiency.

Energy-Efficient
By maintaining an idle temperature setting that only uses 4,251 BTU of power, the fryer conserves energy and proves to be a very efficient addition to your equipment lineup.

Excellent Safety Features
At its maximum production rate, the flue temperatures are less than 500 degrees Fahrenheit! Plus, to ensure safety for all employees, a hi-limit indicator shuts off the gas connection and standing pilot if the oil temperatures get too high. A large V-shaped cold zone at the bottom of the fry tank prevents crumbs and other debris from burning, which extends the life of your shortening and improves the taste of the product. A 1 1/4" full-port drain valve makes oil removal a quick and hassle-free process.
