Giles Enterprises GEF560-VH (GEF-560VH, 70901 / 70903) 24-3/8 Inch Ventless Electric Round Kettle Fryer, 60 lb Oil Capacity, 15 kW, Ansul Fire Suppression
Giles GEF560-VH (GEF-560VH, 70901 / 70903) — Ventless Electric Kettle Fryer, 60 lb
The Giles GEF560-VH, listed on Giles' specification sheet as the GEF-560VH, pairs the GEF-560 electric round kettle fryer with Giles' integral ventless hood to deliver crisp, moist fried chicken where a ducted hood is not practical. The 18-5/8-inch fry pot holds 60 lbs of oil and cooks up to 19 lbs of product per load, with 15,000 W circular elements surrounding the product for even heat. The multi-stage recirculating air cleaning system removes grease-laden vapors and helps control odor; Giles lists it to UL-KNKG and states compliance with ANSI/UL-197 and ANSI/UL-710B. A self-contained Ansul R-102 wet chemical fire suppression system, a standard automatic basket lift, a 50-preset computer controller, and on-board 1/2 hp filtration are built in. The hooded cabinet is only 24-3/8 inches wide and needs just 7-1/2 feet of ceiling height. It is made in Montgomery, Alabama, as item 70901 (208V 3-phase) or 70903 (240V 3-phase).

Ansul field set-up, charging, and commissioning by an authorized Ansul dealer is the customer's responsibility. Fryer plus hood draws 44 A at 208V 3-phase (70901) or 38 A at 240V 3-phase (70903); single-phase 70902 / 70904 draw 75 / 64 A. Service cord not included.
