The Cecilware EL-250 Electric Fryer offers a space-efficient solution for operations with limited counter space and moderate frying volume. Its 25 lb oil capacity and countertop stainless steel construction make it suitable for cafes, concession stands, small restaurants, and other environments where a compact footprint is essential. The unit draws 5.8 kW on a standard 120V single-phase circuit and heats oil to a maximum temperature of 375°F.
At 12 inches wide, 22 inches deep, and 24 inches tall, the EL-250 fits comfortably on standard prep counters while leaving room for adjacent equipment. The 95 lb operating weight provides stability during use without requiring reinforced surfaces. Operators should plan for adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and safe access during oil changes and cleaning procedures. Standard 120V electrical service simplifies installation in most commercial kitchen environments.
The fryer ships with a frying basket and is backed by a 1 year limited warranty. Its light-duty classification makes it appropriate for intermittent use rather than continuous high-volume production. The stainless steel construction supports routine cleaning and maintenance, helping operators maintain sanitary conditions. Operators should consult local codes regarding ventilation requirements for electric fryers of this output level.
