Product Description
The Lincat Silverlink 600 DF618 is a counter top electric fryer with twin tanks, designed for consistent, reliable frying output in commercial kitchen environments. It sits within Lincat's well-established Silverlink 600 range — a series built around practical, everyday use in professional catering rather than occasional or light-duty service. The twin-tank configuration allows operators to fry different products simultaneously without cross-contamination of flavours, which is a genuine operational advantage in mixed-menu kitchens.
In a busy service environment, the DF618 handles the kind of sustained demand that causes cheaper units to falter. The tanks are constructed from grade 304 stainless steel, fully welded to the hob for structural integrity and a smooth, seamless internal finish that is noticeably easier to clean at the end of service. The hinging element design means access to the tank for cleaning or inspection does not require tools or awkward manoeuvring — a small detail that makes a real difference during a heavy week.
From a practical standpoint, the front-mounted controls support safe working practice when staff are reaching over hot oil, and a safety cut-out on the element provides an added layer of protection. Standard equipment includes heavy-duty double nickel-plated baskets, batter plates, and stainless steel lids — all items that would otherwise represent an additional cost with some competitor units.
- Twin tanks allow separate frying of different products during the same service
- Grade 304 stainless steel tanks resist corrosion and simplify end-of-day cleaning
- Hinging element with safety cut-out improves both safety and maintenance access
- Front-mounted controls reduce the risk of reaching over hot surfaces
- Baskets, batter plates, and lids included as standard — no supplementary kit required
As a counter top unit, the DF618 is well suited to kitchens where floor space is limited but frying capacity cannot be compromised. It is commonly used in pubs, cafés, small restaurants, and snack bars where fried food is a regular part of the menu rather than an occasional offering. For very high-volume operations — such as busy fish and chip shops or large contract catering sites — a higher-capacity floor-standing unit may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether the DF618 is the right fit for your service volume or kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, the DF618 is well suited to this kind of environment. Its twin-tank design and robust stainless steel construction are built for sustained daily use rather than occasional frying, and the included baskets and batter plates mean it is ready to work straight out of the box. If your site runs very high volumes continuously — for example, a dedicated fish and chip operation — it is worth speaking to us about whether a higher-output unit would serve you better.
- As a counter top electric fryer, the DF618 requires a suitable electrical supply and sufficient bench space to operate safely with clearance around the unit. You should also ensure your ventilation or extraction canopy is adequate for the frying volume you intend to run, as this is a common oversight in smaller kitchens. We would recommend confirming your electrical supply specification with a qualified electrician before installation.
- The twin-tank configuration is designed to allow independent use of each tank, which means you can fry different products — for instance, chips in one tank and battered fish in the other — without transferring flavours between them. This makes the DF618 particularly practical for kitchens running a varied fried-food menu where product separation matters for quality and allergen awareness.
