The Valentine CORE 400 combines serious frying capacity with a compact 400mm-wide design. With a 15–18 litre pan, two baskets and an output of 38–46kg per hour, it offers plenty of capacity for busy commercial kitchens while taking up relatively little space on the cooking line.
Designed around Valentine’s single-piece stainless steel fry pan, the CORE 400 features a reduced cool zone, ECO mode, fast recovery and double insulation to help manage energy and oil use without compromising frying performance. Gravity filtration comes as standard, while adjustable castors make the fryer easier to manoeuvre when cleaning.
The CORE 400 is supplied for three-phase connection as standard, with a 230V single-phase version also

Installation Notice
This is not a standard 13A plug-in appliance. The CORE 400 requires a suitable commercial electrical supply and must be installed and commissioned by a suitably qualified engineer in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so may invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.
FAQs
What if I need something with a bit more power?
For greater frying demand, take a look at the Valentine CORE 400T Turbo. It keeps the same 400mm width and 15–18 litre capacity, but increases power to 18kW and output to 46–54kg per hour.
Should I choose Three Phase or Single Phase?
Choose the version that suits the electrical supply available in your kitchen. The CORE 400 is supplied for Three Phase as standard, with a 230V / 64A Single Phase option also available. If you’re unsure, check with your electrician before ordering.
What if I don’t have space for a 400mm-wide fryer?
The Valentine CORE 250 is just 250mm wide, with a 9–10 litre capacity and an output of 20–26kg per hour. For more output in the same slimline width, the CORE 250T Turbo delivers 28–36kg per hour.
Can I move the CORE 400 for cleaning?
Yes. Unlike the CORE 250’s rear castors, Valentine states that the CORE 400 is fitted with adjustable castors, making it easier to manoeuvre when required for cleaning. Always allow the fryer and oil to cool and follow safe handling procedures before moving it.
Can I install the CORE 400 myself?
No. The CORE 400 requires a dedicated commercial electrical supply and should be installed and commissioned by a suitably qualified engineer in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements.
