American Range AF-50HE 50 lb Gas Floor Fryer, 75,000 BTU, ENERGY STAR

The American Range AF-50HE is a 50-pound ENERGY STAR® certified high-efficiency gas floor fryer with a heavy-gauge stainless steel tank and a 14" x 14" frying area. Its burner is rated at 75,000 BTU/hr in total. It runs on natural gas or liquid propane; select the gas type above.

Tube-Fired Frying

Heat passes through tubes inside the oil, and a special alloy metal diffuser in each burner tube improves heat transfer to the oil for quick recovery between loads. A large cool zone below the tubes collects crumbs and sediment away from the heat, which helps extend oil life.

A millivolt control system needs no electrical connection and provides 100% safety shut-off, and the thermostat holds oil between 200°F and 400°F. A 1-1/4" full-port drain valve makes draining safe and quick.

Why Operators Choose It

• Fast recovery: Burner-tube diffusers for better heat transfer.

Specifications

Installation & Utility Requirements

Connect to the gas supply with the inlet size shown above. Manifold pressure is 5.0" W.C. on natural gas and 10.0" W.C. on propane (the countertop griddles use 4.0" W.C. on natural gas through the supplied regulator, which must be installed). Specify the gas type, and the altitude if above 2,000 feet; have a qualified technician make the connection and check pressures at start-up.

For use only on non-combustible floors and counters, on legs or casters (or with a 2-inch overhang when curb mounted). Clearance from non-combustible walls is 0 inches; next to combustible walls keep at least 12 inches at the sides and 4 inches at the rear. Install under a ventilation hood per NFPA 96 and local codes. If the unit sits on a stand with casters, use a flexible gas connector with a restraining device.
