Product Features

A reliable workhorse for any commercial kitchen, the Avantco FF400 natural gas 50 lb. stainless steel floor fryer quickly cooks your most popular fried foods, delivering excellent results every time. It utilizes four heat exchange tubes to deliver 120,000 BTUs of power while taking up minimal kitchen space, and its type 430 stainless steel tank ensures outstanding durability and long product life. And thanks to its fast recovery time, this fryer is sure to keep up with your busiest hours.

The Avantco FF400 floor fryer features a cool zone in its fry tank, collecting excess batter and crumbs and allowing them to sink to the bottom of the tank for easy cleaning. A 1 1/4" ball type full port drain lets you quickly remove used oil, and an Invensys thermostat allows temperature adjustment from 200 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This fryer also has a stainless steel door, front, and header, while its galvanized sides and back ensure a strong structure. A convenient tube rack supports the two included nickel chrome wire mesh fry baskets, and 6" adjustable legs make it easy to clean the floor underneath.

    It's a basic fryer, no bells and whistles, but it has given us no trouble in the several years we've been using it in our homeless shelter. Good unit for the money.

    I have been running this fryer for about 1 and a half years. Yes I did have a pilot issue but I can imagine this is due to being burned continuously for a year straight (pilot is on even when machine is off) I was able to call the tech that was assigned to the warranty claim. I was able to meet him for the part and install it two wires. Super simple fix. Lesson learned have the 750? temperature Resistance Millivolt Replacement Thermopile ready on hand. $ Part worth every penny to have on hand to avoid a day waiting on a tech. That was the only issue I have had with this fryer.

    Good reliable fryer. Cheaper than getting a used one locally. Plus the option for entended warranty is a blessing.

we purchased 2 of these fryers and after a few months of use they are great, easy to use and very easy to clean they look new after every cleaning, worth every dollar.

Nice little fryer than can run all day. We use this primarily for french fries only and nonstop all day. We do have to dump the oil each night due to the volume we go through.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
