Built-in kitchen appliance Drop-in TECNOINOX 136019

A drop-in electric fry top creates a seamless worktop surface with individual heating zones that reach temperature quickly and hold it evenly across the plate. Electric elements beneath the steel plate transfer heat directly to the cooking surface, eliminating open flames and allowing precise control over each section. The solid steel plate retains heat, reducing energy waste and maintaining consistent cooking conditions once the set temperature is reached.

The operator lowers the unit into a prepared cut-out in the worktop, connects the electrical supply, and powers it on. Each heating zone is adjusted independently, allowing different sections to be set to different temperatures for simultaneous cooking of multiple items. The smooth steel surface provides a large, flat cooking area that can accommodate pans, griddles, or direct food contact. Once cooking is complete, the surface is cleaned with a scraper or cloth while still warm, removing residue without damaging the plate.

Constructed from stainless steel, the DFTL70E2 is built for continuous use in professional kitchens. The 700 mm width and 600 mm depth provide ample cooking space without occupying excessive worktop area. The 47.7 kg weight ensures stability during use, while the drop-in design allows integration into existing work surfaces without additional support structures.

The fry top operates on a 400 V 3-phase electrical supply, drawing up to 7.8 kW. This power level supports rapid heating and sustained high-temperature cooking, suitable for searing, frying, and grilling. The adjustable power range from 6.0 to 7.8 kW allows the operator to match energy output to the cooking demand, reducing energy consumption during slower periods.

Cleaning involves wiping the steel plate after use to prevent build-up of cooking residues. The absence of open flames or exposed elements simplifies maintenance, as there are no burners or grates to disassemble. The drop-in design means the unit sits flush with the worktop, eliminating edges where food particles could accumulate.

The DFTL70E2 is designed for installation into standard worktops, with a 700 mm frontage that fits common kitchen layouts. The 400 V 3-phase supply requires a dedicated circuit, typically found in professional kitchens where high-power appliances are in use.
