Drop-in electric fry top for ships LOTUS 26060631X

The LOTUS FTLD-66ETX is a professional electric griddle, also known as a fry-top. This appliance is designed for direct cooking of food items on its heated surface.

The operating principle of an electric fry-top involves a heating element located beneath a solid metal plate. When activated, the element transfers heat to the plate, bringing it to the desired cooking temperature. Food is then placed directly onto the hot plate surface, where it cooks through direct contact and radiant heat. The temperature is regulated by a thermostat to maintain consistent cooking conditions.

This model is available with a choice of plate surfaces: smooth, ribbed, or a 50/50 combination of both. The plate itself can be either a standard finish or a chrome-plated surface. The standard plate is constructed from FE430B Steel, while the chrome-plated version uses FE510C Steel. The main body of the unit is fabricated from CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 grade Stainless Steel, featuring a Scotch-Brite Satin polish finish and chromed details. The worktop has a thickness of 1.5 mm.

Controls include a double thermostat system for both operation and safety functions. The temperature can be set within a range of 50 to 300 degrees Celsius. A fixing system is integrated into the design.

The power rating of 6 kW indicates the maximum electrical load the unit will draw when operating at full capacity. The dimensions of the unit are 600 mm in length, 600 mm in width, and 220 mm in height. It weighs 45 kg.

Cleaning of the fry-top involves maintaining the stainless steel surfaces and the cooking plate. The specific materials used suggest that standard kitchen cleaning agents suitable for stainless steel and cooking surfaces can be employed.

This electric griddle is listed in the catalogue under kitchen equipment for ships and as an electric griddle drop-in for ships.
