LOTUS CF6-610ET/V Electric Ship Stove with Oven & Six Plates

This shipboard electric stove integrates a six-plate hob with an oven in a single stainless-steel unit built for marine galleys. The hob uses cast-iron plates to convert electricity into heat, while the oven circulates warm air to cook or hold food at set temperatures. Both components connect to the vessel's electrical system, removing the need for open flames and enabling precise control in a moving environment.

Each of the hob's six cast-iron plates heats independently, controlled by a seven-position switch that adjusts the current. A temperature limiter prevents overheating, and indicator lights show active plates. Beneath the hob, the oven cavity is warmed by hidden elements, with a fan distributing heat evenly across shelves for consistent results. The oven's temperature range extends from 50 °C for gentle holding to 250 °C for roasting, accommodating dishes from slow-cooked stews to baked goods.

To use the stove, the operator selects either 230 V single-phase or 400 V three-phase via the internal terminal block. Each hot plate is set to the desired heat level using its switch, and the oven temperature is adjusted between 50 °C and 250 °C. Indicator lights confirm when elements are live, allowing pots and pans to be placed on the hob or trays slid into the oven. A sliding shelf beneath the hob offers a temporary rest for cookware, while adjustable feet ensure the unit sits level on uneven surfaces.

The body is made from CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish, resisting fingerprints and corrosion. Rounded edges and chrome-plated details minimise snagging, and a rear splash guard protects the bulkhead from grease. IPX5-rated waterproof control knobs allow safe operation in damp conditions, and the front control panel can be removed for maintenance access.

The stove's 11.62 kW power rating reflects its electrical demand. The 95 kg weight requires a trolley or hoist for movement, and the 1000×600 mm footprint fits standard shipboard worktops. The oven's 640×420×350 mm interior accommodates a 53×32.5 cm GN 1/1 grid, matching standard catering trays.

Cleaning involves wiping stainless-steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Cast-iron hot plates are scraped and seasoned to prevent rust. The front control panel is removed periodically for cleaning behind it, and the sliding shelf is taken out for thorough washing. The oven's smooth interior and removable grid simplify scrubbing after use.

The CF6-610ET/V is a standalone model, with no variants listed. It is classified under marine catering equipment, specifically shipboard cooking ranges with integrated ovens.
