Product Description
The Lincat DF618 is a counter top electric fryer with two independent tanks, sitting within the well-established Silverlink 600 range — a series built around practical, everyday performance in professional catering rather than light or occasional use. The twin-tank layout allows operators to fry different products at the same time without any crossover of flavours, which in a mixed-menu kitchen is a straightforward operational gain.
In sustained service, the DF618 holds up in the way you would expect from a Lincat workhorse. The tanks are fully welded stainless steel, which removes the crevices that trap fat and debris on inferior units, and the hinging element design allows the tank to be accessed for cleaning or inspection quickly and without tools — something that matters more than it sounds at the end of a long shift. Front-mounted controls mean staff are not reaching across hot oil to adjust temperatures, and the element safety cut-out provides a sensible layer of protection should the oil level fall short.
- Twin tanks allow simultaneous frying of different products with no flavour transfer
- Fully welded stainless steel tanks simplify cleaning and resist corrosion under heavy use
- Hinging element with safety cut-out aids both maintenance access and safe operation
- Front-mounted controls keep hands away from hot oil during service adjustments
- Baskets, batter plates, and stainless steel lids supplied as standard
As a counter top unit the DF618 is well suited to kitchens where floor space is limited but frying output cannot be reduced — pubs, cafés, small restaurants, and snack bars where fried items form a regular part of the menu. For very high-volume operations such as busy fish and chip shops or large contract catering sites, a higher-capacity floor-standing unit is likely to be a more appropriate choice.
If you are weighing up whether this unit matches your service volume or kitchen layout, the team is glad to help you think it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The DF618 is a solid choice for pubs and similar operations where fried items are a regular menu staple rather than an occasional side. Its twin-tank setup allows you to run, say, chips and battered fish concurrently without flavour transfer. For very high-volume sites — where fryers are running continuously across a long service — it is worth discussing whether a larger floor-standing unit would better match your throughput.
- As a counter top electric fryer, the DF618 requires a suitable electrical supply and a stable, heat-resistant surface capable of supporting the unit's weight when the tanks are filled with oil. You should also ensure adequate ventilation above the fryer, either via a canopy extract or a ventilated ceiling system, in line with current kitchen regulations. If you are unsure about your electrical supply or extraction setup, it is worth confirming those details before ordering.
- Yes — each tank on the DF618 operates independently, which means you can set different temperatures to suit different products running at the same time. This is particularly useful when frying items with different optimal cooking temperatures during the same service period.
