The Alpina SF-4003 is a single stand-alone deep fryer with a 3.1 litre oil capacity and a maximum food capacity of approximately 0.9 kg. It combines a black and stainless-steel exterior with push-button controls and provides up to 2000 W of frying power for home use. The unit is designed for countertop placement and operates from a standard 230 V, 50 Hz household supply.
Advantages
The fryer offers a compact footprint and a stainless-steel housing that is easy to wipe clean. With a 2000 W heating element and adjustable thermostat, it reaches frying temperatures quickly and maintains consistent heat for even results. Its single-basket, stand-alone design simplifies setup and storage compared with built-in models.

- Frying items such as potatoes, small fish, chicken pieces and snacks
- Households that need an easy-to-store countertop fryer
When it may not be suitable
The 3.1 L oil capacity and roughly 0.9 kg food capacity make this fryer better suited to small or medium portions rather than large-family or party-sized batches. It does not replace commercial-grade equipment for frequent heavy use.

How to use
Place the fryer on a stable, heat-resistant countertop and fill the oil to the indicated level, not exceeding the maximum mark. Plug the unit into a compatible 230 V / 50 Hz outlet, set the thermostat to the desired frying temperature, and wait for the indicator to show the oil is ready. Place food into the basket in small batches to avoid overcrowding, lower the basket into the oil, and monitor cooking until the required doneness is achieved. After frying, switch off and unplug the appliance, allow oil to cool, then follow the manufacturer’s instructions for draining and cleaning.

Usage recommendations
For best results with the Alpina SF-4003, preheat the oil to the recommended temperature, fry items in even-sized batches, and avoid overfilling the basket. Clean the stainless-steel surfaces after they have cooled and follow safety guidance to prevent oil splatter and overheating.
