LOTUS Electric Fryer with Neutral Cabinet 18 L Touch Screen F18-74ETT

An electric fryer designed for continuous frying in professional kitchens, this unit heats a fixed volume of oil with submerged elements. The oil transfers heat rapidly to food in the basket, creating a crisp exterior while cooking the interior evenly. Rotating elements ensure the oil temperature stays uniform, preventing cold spots that can leave food greasy or undercooked. A PID controller adjusts the power to the elements, holding the oil at the set temperature within a tight range, which is essential for consistent results across batches of chips, fish or battered products.

The operator lowers the basket into the heated oil, sets the timer on the 4.3" touch screen and starts the cycle. Two programmable timers allow separate settings for different foods, so the fryer can switch between items without manual adjustment. A melting function gently warms solid fats to 70–90 °C, avoiding overheating that can damage the elements. When the timer ends, the basket is lifted and the food drained over the vat. Two removable oil collection trays with strainers sit below, ready to catch drips when the vat is emptied.

The entire structure is built from 18/10 chromium-nickel stainless steel, a grade chosen for its resistance to corrosion in wet, salty kitchen environments. The worktop is 2 mm thick with rounded edges, and the rear panel is protected by a separate guard. Chrome-plated details and a Scotch-Brite satin finish reduce glare and fingerprints. IPX5-rated waterproof controls prevent moisture ingress, while adjustable legs ensure a stable, level installation on uneven floors.

A 15.9 kW power rating requires a three-phase 400 V supply, the standard for heavy-duty catering equipment. The 57 kg weight means the unit is moved with a trolley or two people, and the 400 x 705 x 900 mm footprint fits a standard worktop depth. The 18 L oil volume and 23 kg/h throughput allow continuous service for medium to high-demand outlets.

Cleaning follows from the construction: the vat, basket and strainers are lifted out, the rotating elements are wiped down, and the two oil collection trays are removed and emptied. The touch screen is wiped with a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives that could damage the surface. WiFi and cloud connectivity enable remote monitoring, diagnostics and programme updates without opening the unit.

The fryer is supplied as a single model, F18-74ETT, with no variants or accessories listed in the catalogue.
