Electric hob with stand or neutral cabinet LOTUS 08030431

This LOTUS Electric range with neutral cabinet, article 08030431, provides a cooking surface integrated with a storage cabinet.

Electric ranges of this type operate by heating elements beneath the cooking surface, which transfer thermal energy directly to cookware placed upon them. The neutral cabinet below offers a space for storage, keeping kitchen essentials close at hand.

The sequence of use involves placing suitable cookware onto the hotplates. The controls are then used to select the desired heat level for each hotplate. The hotplates are constructed from square or round cast iron, designed for heat distribution.

Constructed from CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish, this unit presents an easy-to-clean exterior. It features a substantial 2 mm thick worktop with rounded edges for safety and ease of use. Chrome-plated components add to its finish. The control knobs are IPX5 water-resistant, offering protection against water ingress.

The controls include a seven-position switch for each hotplate, allowing for precise temperature selection. A temperature limiter is incorporated for safety.

The power rating of 5.2 kW indicates the maximum electrical load the appliance will draw when in operation. The dimensions of 400 mm in width, 705 mm in depth, and 900 mm in height define its footprint and placement requirements within a kitchen. Operating at 400 V, it requires a suitable electrical supply. The weight of 46 kg provides an indication of its stability and how it might be moved.

Maintenance is facilitated by the design, where all serviceable components are accessible by removing the front control panel. Cleaning should focus on the stainless steel surfaces and cast iron hotplates, following standard catering equipment procedures.

This model is designed without doors on the neutral cabinet.
