The NFFOP40N is a floor-model commercial gas fryer designed for restaurants, cafés, bars, concessions, catering kitchens, and other foodservice operations. Its open frypot holds 16–20 L (32.5–40 lb) of liquid cooking oil and features a rounded bottom that provides unobstructed access for routine draining and cleaning.

A 100,000 BTU/hr U-shaped stainless steel diffusion burner provides strong heating input for startup and active frying while supporting temperature recovery after food is loaded. The thermostatic control adjusts from 93 °C to 204 °C (200 °F to 400 °F), allowing operators to select an appropriate frying temperature for a range of menu items.

The standing-pilot and millivolt control system requires no external electrical connection for basic fryer operation. If the pilot flame is lost, the thermopile-powered safety circuit closes the gas valve. A separate high-limit safety device shuts off gas flow if the oil temperature exceeds the safe operating range.

Two included fry baskets support separate batches and portion management, with a recommended maximum load of 1.1 kg (2.5 lb) per basket. A 3.2 cm (1-1/4 in) full-port front drain valve and included extension pipe support controlled draining, filtering, oil changes, and routine frypot cleaning. The fryer also includes a frypot cover, basket support rack, and four adjustable stainless steel legs.

Important Installation Requirements: This fryer is configured for natural gas only and is not field convertible to propane. Installation and gas connection must be completed by qualified personnel using a 3/4 in NPT gas connection and the specified 4 in W.C. manifold pressure. The fryer must be installed under an approved commercial ventilation hood, with the required clearances and all supplied legs or approved optional castors properly installed. Use liquid cooking oil only.
