Electric fryer LOTUS 08090431

This LOTUS F18-74ET is a professional electric fryer featuring a neutral cabinet. Fryers of this type operate by heating oil within a tank using electric elements. Food is then lowered into the hot oil using a basket, allowing it to cook through immersion. The neutral cabinet provides storage space beneath the frying area. The construction utilises CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel, offering a hygienic surface with a Scotch-Brite satin finish. The unit includes a 2 mm thick worktop with rounded edges, chrome-plated components, and a rear splashback to prevent splattering. Control knobs are rated IPX5 for water resistance, suitable for kitchen environments. Operation is managed via a dual thermostat system, which controls the cooking temperature and includes a safety function for overheating protection. An alarm system, incorporating both visual and audible alerts, is triggered when the safety thermostat activates. Included with the fryer are baskets for cooking, lids to cover the oil when not in use, a tank filter, and a basket support. For managing oil and food debris, two drip trays with strainers are provided. An additional oil filter draining tray is also supplied. Maintenance is facilitated by the design, allowing access to internal components by removing the front control panel. The heating elements are designed to rotate, simplifying the cleaning of the tank. The fryer has a power rating of 15.95 kW and operates on a 400 V, 3-phase electrical supply. Its tank capacity is 18 L. The external dimensions are 400 mm in width, 705 mm in depth, and 900 mm in height. The unit weighs 57 kg. This appliance is listed in the catalogue under electric fryers.
