6 Type definitions for Fryer

6.1 General

The fryer is used to fry various cooked foods, such as French fries and others. A system may consist of one or more fryer vats. Each fryer vat can be operated individually.

If the device is equipped with a lift, the frying basket of each vat can be automatically lowered and raised again after an adjustable cooking time.

Figure 10 shows an overview of the object types for the Fryer device class.
