Morphology
This is a directly compositional noun: 'deep' simply modifies the type of 'fryer', indicating a fryer that operates by deep (i.e. full-immersion) frying. The meaning is predictable from the constituents and follows common adjective+noun formation found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the appliance's function.
Etymology
Deep fryer comes from the clear image of a deep pot or machine: deep because it can fully cover food in hot oil, and fryer because it is used to fry. So, Deep fryer means 'a kitchen machine used to cook food by putting it completely in hot oil'.
