A 90MJ multi jet target burner heats an 18 litre open pan to fry up to 25kg an hour, and the open pan with a cool zone lets crumbs settle below the burner to keep the oil clean and lasting longer. Simple mechanical controls and a manual pilot ignition make it easy to run and cheap to maintain.

Fastfri is made by Moffat. The FF18 runs on natural gas or LPG, so a licensed gas fitter makes the connection. Like all Moffat gas fryers, it has a gas regulator built in, so a separate regulator is not required and should not be fitted, since an extra regulator becomes a point of failure. Note the FF18 is supplied set for one gas type and does not come with a gas conversion kit, so specify natural gas or LPG when ordering.

Best for: cafes, takeaways and smaller kitchens that want a reliable single pan fryer in a narrow 400mm space.

Does the FF18 need a gas fitter?

Yes. It connects to natural gas or LPG through an R ¾″ BSP male fitting, so a licensed gas fitter makes the connection. The gas entry sits 40mm from the right hand side, 24mm from the rear and 221mm from the floor.

Does the FF18 need a separate gas regulator?

No, and one should not be fitted. Like all Moffat gas fryers, the FF18 has a gas regulator built in, so it connects straight to the gas supply. Adding a second regulator in the line is unnecessary and becomes a point of failure, so the gas fitter should connect it without one.

Does the FF18 come with a gas conversion kit?

No. The FF18 is supplied set for one gas type and does not include a conversion kit, so specify natural gas or LPG when you order and it comes ready for that supply.

What is the cool zone for?

The open pan has a cool zone below the burner where crumbs and batter settle away from the heat. That stops them burning and fouling the oil, so the oil stays cleaner and lasts longer, and the pan is easy to drain and clean through the 30mm drain valve.
