LOTUS Electric Fryer with Neutral Cabinet 13 L Touch Screen

An electric fryer that combines a 13 litre oil vat with a neutral under-counter cabinet, designed for continuous frying in professional kitchens. The unit heats the oil with submerged elements; as the oil reaches the set temperature, a basket is lowered into it, transferring heat rapidly and evenly to the food. The hot oil surrounds every surface, creating a crisp exterior while cooking the interior without drying it out. This method delivers consistent results across batches, essential for high-volume service.

Operation begins by filling the vat with oil to the marked level. The touch screen control panel allows the operator to select a pre-set programme or manually set the temperature up to 190 °C. Once the oil reaches the target, the fryer signals readiness, and the basket is loaded with food. The timer counts down the frying duration, and the basket is lifted out when done. A second timer can be set for consecutive batches, keeping the workflow organised. The melting function gently warms solid fats between 70 and 90 °C, preventing overheating of the elements.

The fryer is constructed from 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion in wet kitchen environments. The worktop is 2 mm thick with rounded edges, and the rear panel acts as a splash guard. Two removable oil collection trays with strainers sit beneath the vat, simplifying oil changes and filtering. Rotating heating elements distribute heat evenly, while a safety thermostat cuts power if the oil exceeds safe limits. Adjustable legs ensure stable placement on uneven floors.

The 4.3 inch touch screen displays temperature, timers and active programmes. PID control maintains the set temperature within a narrow range, avoiding fluctuations that could affect food quality. An energy-saving mode reduces power consumption during idle periods. WiFi and cloud connectivity allow remote monitoring, diagnostics and management of the fryer from a central system, useful for multi-site operations.

With a 10.95 kW power rating, the fryer requires a 400 V three-phase supply, typical for commercial kitchen equipment. The 54 kg weight indicates a freestanding unit that can be moved with a trolley but is not portable. The 400 x 705 x 900 mm footprint fits under most worktops, leaving space for food preparation alongside. The 15 kg/h capacity reflects the volume of food the fryer can process in an hour under continuous use.

Cleaning involves draining the oil through the collection trays, removing and washing the strainers, and wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a non-abrasive cloth. The touch screen is cleaned with a damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the display. The rotating elements are designed for easy access during deep cleaning, and the rounded edges prevent food debris from accumulating in corners.

The model F13-74ETT is part of the LOTUS professional catering range, positioned for medium to large kitchens requiring precise temperature control and remote management capabilities.
