Electric fryer LOTUS 16090310

An electric fryer heats a measured volume of oil to a consistent temperature, allowing food to cook quickly and evenly when submerged in the hot oil. The heating element sits below the oil vat, transferring energy into the oil, while a thermostat cycles the power to maintain the set temperature. This method gives crisp, golden results without the temperature swings of open-flame frying, and the enclosed vat reduces oil splatter and heat loss into the kitchen.

The operator loads the basket with food, lowers it into the pre-heated oil, and sets the timer. The fryer holds the temperature while the food cooks, and the basket is lifted out when done. A lid can be closed to retain heat between batches, and a drain tap allows oil to be removed for filtering or replacement without tipping the unit.

The LOTUS F10T-63EM is built from 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish. The top is 1 mm thick, with rounded edges and chrome-plated components for durability and ease of cleaning. IPX5-rated water-resistant control knobs prevent moisture ingress during washdown. Adjustable feet level the unit on uneven floors, and a locking system secures the basket holder in place.

Controls include a dual thermostat for precise temperature setting and a safety thermostat that cuts power if the oil overheats. Overheat protection further guards against damage from prolonged high temperatures.

A 3.65 kW power rating draws a steady load on a 230 V three-phase circuit, suitable for commercial kitchen distribution boards. The 20 kg weight allows the fryer to be moved by two people or on a trolley, while the 300x600x280 mm footprint fits on a standard worktop or under a canopy. The 10 L oil capacity fills the vat to a level that covers the basket without risk of overflow when food is added.

Cleaning involves draining the oil through the tap, wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a non-abrasive cloth, and rinsing the basket and lid. The rounded edges and satin finish reduce food adhesion, and the IPX5-rated knobs can be wiped or sprayed without damage.

The F10T-63EM is available as a single or double tank model, each supplied with basket, lid and basket holder. The basket measures 200x300x100 mm, matching the vat dimensions to ensure even cooking.

This fryer is listed in the professional catering equipment catalogue under electric fryers, single and double tank configurations.
