LOTUS Confectioner's Fryer 17 L FPE-20

The LOTUS Confectioner's Fryer 17 litres FPE-20 is a professional electric fryer designed for confectioners. This appliance operates by heating oil within a tank using submerged sheathed elements. The basket, holding the food items, is then lowered into the hot oil, allowing for rapid cooking through direct heat transfer.

To operate the fryer, the tank is filled with oil and heated to the desired temperature. The confectioner's items are placed in the provided basket, which is then submerged into the hot oil. The fryer is equipped with a double thermostat system. One thermostat controls the operating temperature of the oil, while the second acts as an overheat safety device, preventing the oil from reaching dangerously high temperatures. Once the frying process is complete, the basket is lifted out of the oil. The fryer also features a front oil drain for convenient disposal of used oil.
