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 consistent, everyday performance in professional catering environments rather than light or occasional use. The twin-tank configuration allows operators to fry different products simultaneously without any crossover of flavours, which in a mixed-menu kitchen represents a straightforward and practical operational gain.
In sustained service the DF618 performs in the way you would expect from a Lincat workhorse. The tanks are fully welded stainless steel, which eliminates the crevices that trap fat and debris on lesser units. The hinging element design allows the tank to be accessed for cleaning or inspection quickly and without tools — something that matters considerably more than it sounds at the end of a long service. Front-mounted controls mean staff are not reaching across hot oil to make temperature adjustments, and the element safety cut-out provides a sensible layer of protection should the oil level fall short during service.
- Twin independent tanks for simultaneous frying of different products without flavour transfer
- Fully welded stainless steel tanks resist corrosion and simplify end-of-day cleaning
- Hinging element with safety cut-out supports maintenance access and safe daily operation
- Front-mounted controls keep hands clear of hot oil during service adjustments
- Baskets, batter plates, and stainless steel lids included as standard
As a counter top unit, the DF618 is well suited to kitchens where floor space is limited but frying output cannot be compromised — 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 fit.
If you are weighing up whether this unit is the right match for your service volume or kitchen layout, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The DF618 is well suited to a pub kitchen where fried items feature regularly on the menu and floor space is limited. For venues running very high volumes of fried food continuously — particularly during peak evening service — it is worth discussing your expected throughput with us, as a higher-capacity unit may serve you better in the long run.
- As an electric counter top fryer, the DF618 requires a suitable electrical supply and a stable, heat-resistant surface capable of supporting the unit when tanks are filled with oil. It should be positioned to allow adequate ventilation and access to the front controls during service. If you are unsure whether your existing supply or counter arrangement is appropriate, it is worth confirming before ordering.
- Yes — each tank operates independently with its own temperature control, which is the core practical advantage of the twin-tank layout. This means you can hold one tank at a lower temperature for items like chips while running the second at a higher setting for battered fish or other products, without any compromise to either.
