LOTUS CF4-68ETX/V Electric Stove with Oven for Marine Kitchens

The operator selects the desired heat level for each hot plate using seven-position switches. Indicator lights confirm the elements are active. Pots and pans sit directly on the cast-iron plates, with steel rims preventing spills from reaching the work surface. For oven use, the temperature is adjusted between 50 °C and 300 °C via the control knob. When the oven reaches the set temperature, the indicator light turns off, signalling readiness. A single GN 1/1 grid is supplied; additional trays can be loaded through the oven door. A sliding shelf beneath the hot plates offers a temporary spot for pots during service.

The unit is made from CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite finish, offering strong resistance to corrosion in salty marine air. Rounded edges and chrome details reduce injury risks and ease cleaning. A rear splash guard protects walls from grease and steam. IPX5-rated waterproof knobs ensure safe operation in wet shipboard conditions. The front control panel detaches without tools for maintenance access.

Each seven-position switch on the hot plates controls power delivery, from gentle simmer to rapid boil. The oven control adjusts temperatures from 50 °C to 300 °C, suitable for proofing dough or high-heat roasting. Indicator lights show when the hot plates or oven are in use, aiding monitoring during busy periods.

The stove requires a 9.62 kW three-phase 400 V circuit, typical in commercial vessels. Its 800 mm width and 600 mm depth fit standard marine galley workstations, while the 900 mm height allows comfortable use. The 91 kg weight ensures stability on moving decks, and adjustable feet compensate for uneven surfaces. The oven cavity measures 640 by 420 by 350 mm, accommodating a full-size gastronorm tray.

Cleaning involves wiping stainless-steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Cast-iron hot plates should be cleaned while warm to remove food residues, then dried to prevent rust. The oven interior can be wiped or scrubbed after use; the removable control panel allows wiring inspection. The sliding shelf and rear splash guard detach for thorough cleaning.

The CF4-68ETX/V is a standalone model designed for shipboard use and is not part of any larger equipment range.
