Gas griddle LOTUS 0923125B

A gas fry-top transfers heat directly from a smooth steel plate to food, eliminating the need for oil or a fryer basket. The plate sits above gas burners, heating evenly across its surface to sear, grill or sauté without hot spots. Three separate heating zones allow different temperatures on the same plate, so one side can hold finished dishes while another cooks at full heat. The open cabinet beneath provides space for utensils, pans or ingredients, keeping them within reach during service.

The operator lights the pilot with a piezo ignition, then sets each zone to the required temperature between 50 °C and 300 °C using waterproof control knobs. A thermocouple monitors the flame and adjusts the gas flow to maintain the set point, ensuring consistent results throughout the day. Exhaust gases are drawn away through a rear flue, reducing heat and fumes in the kitchen. A large-capacity, removable grease tray collects drippings, simplifying daily cleaning.

The cooking surface is 2 mm thick FE510C steel, chosen for its thermal conductivity and resistance to warping. The surrounding frame and rear splash guard are 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish, while chrome-plated details add corrosion protection. Rounded edges prevent sharp corners, and the front control panel lifts off for access to internal components. A conversion kit for alternative gas types is included, along with a single end panel (TPA-9) to close the run when the unit is installed at the end of a counter.

Each control knob governs one of the three heating zones, allowing independent temperature settings. The 27 kW power rating indicates the load on the gas supply, suitable for high-volume cooking without pressure drop. The 198 kg weight requires a sturdy floor and may need two people to move, while the 1200 x 900 mm footprint fits standard worktop depths and allows side-by-side installation. Adjustable legs ensure a level, stable base on uneven floors.

Cleaning involves removing the grease tray, wiping the steel plate with a scraper or cloth, and washing the tray separately. The control panel and internal parts are accessible by lifting the front panel, allowing thorough cleaning of gas lines and burners. The satin finish resists fingerprints and scratches, reducing the need for frequent polishing.

The FTL-912G is a single model with no variants. It is designed for professional catering use and includes all components listed in the specifications.
