LOTUS Electric Fry-Top Smooth with Shelf & Touch Screen 70 FTL-76ETTS

A smooth electric fry-top with an integrated shelf provides a continuous cooking surface for grilling, searing and shallow frying. The heating element beneath the steel plate transfers energy directly into the metal, creating an even heat distribution across the entire worktop. This method eliminates hot spots and allows precise temperature control for consistent results, whether cooking delicate fish or high-volume burgers.

The operator powers the unit on, sets the desired temperature on the 4.3-inch touch screen, and waits for the plate to reach the target. Once the surface is hot, ingredients are placed directly onto the smooth steel, where they cook through direct conduction. The integrated shelf below holds trays or utensils within arm's reach, reducing movement during service. Two programmable timers allow unattended cooking for set durations, while the Energy Saving function reduces power consumption when the plate is not in active use. WiFi and cloud connectivity enable remote monitoring, diagnostics and adjustments from a tablet or smartphone, letting the kitchen track performance without standing at the unit.

The fry-top is constructed from 2 mm thick 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. The work surface has rounded edges and a satin Scotch-Brite finish to reduce glare and improve durability. Chromed details and a high rear guard panel protect the surrounding area from splashes, while an open stainless steel shelf beneath the plate offers additional storage. A removable drip tray collects excess liquids, simplifying daily cleaning. The front control panel detaches for access to internal components, and adjustable legs ensure stable installation on uneven floors.

The 7.4 kW power rating indicates the load on a 400 V three-phase circuit, suitable for commercial kitchens with dedicated high-capacity wiring. The 600 mm width and 705 mm depth determine the counter space required, while the 900 mm height allows comfortable use without stooping. The 78 kg weight means the unit is moved with a trolley or two people, not carried by hand.

Cleaning involves wiping the steel plate after each service, emptying the drip tray, and removing the front panel periodically to access internal parts. The touch screen is cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive materials that could damage the surface.

The FTL-76ETTS is a ribbed fry-top model, designed for professional catering environments where precise temperature control and durability are essential.
