Anvil Deep Fryer Double Pan

The Anvil FFA0002 is a double-pan benchtop deep fryer with two independent 5 litre tanks. Running them separately is the real feature: use both when you are busy and only one when you are quiet, which saves oil and power on a slow afternoon and keeps allergens or fish apart from everything else. Tanks are removable stainless steel with carrying handles, night lids are included, and there is a reset switch plus an extra safety thermostat. It needs two separate 10 A outlets.

Why operators choose the ICE-FFA0002

• TWO separate 10 A plugs required — 2 x 2.4 kW means two power points, not one. This is the fact that derails installations - check you have two outlets within reach of the bench before ordering
• Two independent 5 litre tanks — run one or both. On a quiet shift you heat 5 litres of oil instead of 10, and you can keep fish or an allergen separate from the rest of the menu
• Removable stainless tanks with carrying handles — the tanks come out and have handles - which is the difference between changing oil and dreading changing oil
• Reset switch and extra safety thermostat — a second thermostat is a genuine safety layer on a fryer, and the reset means a trip does not mean a service call
• Hinged element box — the elements lift clear as a unit for cleaning under them, rather than being worked around
• Night lids included — covering oil overnight slows oxidation, which extends oil life and saves money
• Separation of foods — the manufacturer's own point - two tanks keeps flavours and allergens apart
• 577 mm wide bench footprint — two fryers in the space of one, which is why the double-pan format exists

Specifications

Venue suitability

The FFA0002 suits cafes, clubs, takeaways and pubs frying to order, and any kitchen that needs to keep one product separate — fish, or a gluten-free line. The double-pan format gives you that separation in a single bench space.

Installation & delivery

This fryer needs TWO separate 10 A power points. It is supplied with two 10 A plugs because each 2.4 kW tank draws almost the whole of a 10 A circuit — putting both on one outlet or one circuit will trip it. Confirm you have two accessible outlets, ideally on separate circuits, before ordering. Note the dimensions are recorded width x height x depth: 577 mm wide, 288 mm tall, 470 mm deep. Site it under extraction — a fryer produces grease-laden vapour that a general exhaust will not handle. Allow clearance to lift the tanks out. Our data records no weight for this model.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Why does it need two power points?

Because it is effectively two fryers. Each tank has its own 2.4 kW element, and 2.4 kW at 240 V is 10 amps - the whole of a standard circuit. The manufacturer supplies two 10 A plugs for exactly that reason. Run both from one outlet or one circuit and you will trip the breaker, probably mid-service. Ideally use two separate circuits.

Q: What is the point of two separate tanks?

Flexibility and separation. On a quiet shift you heat one tank instead of two, which saves oil life and power. And you can keep one product apart - fish is the usual reason, or a gluten-free line where cross-contamination matters. A single large tank cannot do either.

Q: How much oil does it hold?

5 litres per tank, 10 litres in total if you run both. The tanks are removable stainless steel with carrying handles, which makes the oil change considerably less unpleasant than tipping a fixed tank.

Q: Are the night lids included?

Yes - the fryer is complete with night lids. Covering the oil overnight slows oxidation, so the oil lasts longer, which on a fryer run daily is a real saving.

Q: What safety features does it have?

A reset switch and an extra safety thermostat beyond the operating one, plus a hinged element box so the elements lift clear rather than being worked around during cleaning.

Q: What warranty does the ICE-FFA0002 come with?

Covered for 2 years on parts and 1 year on labour — the two halves run for different periods, so in the second year you are covered for the part but not the technician's time. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
