Drop-in electric fry top for ships LOTUS 26060433X

The LOTUS FTRD-64ETX is a professional electric griddle for commercial kitchens. This fry-top is constructed from CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 grade Stainless Steel, with a Scotch-Brite Satin polish finish. The worktop is 1.5 mm thick and it has chromed details.

Operating Principle:

Electric fry-tops use an electric heating element beneath a solid metal plate. When powered, the element heats the plate to the set temperature. This heated surface is used for direct contact cooking, searing, or grilling food placed upon it. The solid plate distributes heat evenly, providing a consistent cooking temperature.

Sequence of Use:

Connect the unit to the appropriate electrical supply. Set the desired cooking temperature using the thermostat control, which ranges from 50 to 300 °C. Allow the griddle plate to preheat. Food can then be placed directly onto the hot surface for cooking. The unit includes a double thermostat system: one for operation and a safety thermostat.
