Electric hot plate LF L3311101

An electric hot plate provides direct, concentrated heat for boiling, simmering or holding liquids in a professional kitchen. The plate's circular heating element sits beneath a flat, solid surface, transferring heat upwards into pots and pans without open flames. This method gives even, adjustable heat across the entire cooking area, allowing precise control over temperature for tasks like reducing sauces, cooking grains or keeping stocks at a steady simmer.

To use the plate, the operator places a compatible pot or pan centrally on the 220 mm surface. The unit is then switched on, and the power setting adjusted to raise the temperature to the required level. Once the liquid reaches the desired temperature, the setting can be lowered to maintain it. After cooking, the plate is switched off and allowed to cool before the pot is removed.

This LF hot plate is designed as a direct replacement for specific models of professional catering equipment. It fits a range of boiling pans, pot stoves and kitchen units from ANGELO PO, GICO, KÜPPERSBUSCH, LOTUS and ZANUSSI, ensuring continuity of operation when the original plate requires renewal.

The 2600 W power rating indicates the electrical load the plate places on the supply circuit. A 400 V connection is required, which is standard for three-phase commercial kitchen installations. The diameter of 220 mm determines the size of pot or pan that can be used, ensuring full contact with the heated surface for efficient heat transfer.

Cleaning is straightforward: once the plate has cooled, the surface can be wiped with a damp cloth to remove spills or residue. No disassembly is required for routine upkeep, and the solid construction allows for frequent use without damage to the heating element or surface.
