LOTUS Electric Fryer with Neutral Cabinet 18 Litre F18-94ETX

This electric fryer integrates a neutral cabinet to provide both rapid oil heating and practical storage in one unit. The fryer heats oil using submerged elements, while the cabinet beneath remains at ambient temperature, offering a convenient space for ingredients or utensils without extra energy consumption.

Food is placed in a stainless steel basket, which is lowered into the heated oil. A dual thermostat system maintains the set temperature, delivering consistent results and preventing overheating. Once cooking finishes, the basket lifts, allowing excess oil to drain back into the vat. The neutral cabinet below offers organised storage, reducing unnecessary movement in the kitchen.

To operate, fill the fryer vat with oil to the marked level. Switch on the power and set the desired temperature using the water-resistant control knobs. The fryer heats the oil, with visual and audible signals indicating readiness. The basket, fitted with a mesh insert, holds the food and is lowered into the oil. After the set time, the basket rises either automatically or manually. The neutral cabinet features adjustable shelves for storing ingredients or tools.

The fryer is built from 2 mm thick AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish, rounded edges, and chrome-plated details for durability and easy cleaning. The rear panel acts as a protective shield, while the front control panel detaches for access to internal components. Two drip trays with strainers collect oil and food debris, simplifying maintenance. Rotating heating elements allow the vat to be lifted for thorough cleaning, and adjustable feet ensure stability on uneven surfaces.

Controls include water-resistant knobs for temperature adjustment and power settings. A dual thermostat system regulates oil temperature and provides overheat protection, triggering visual and audible alarms if the safety limit is exceeded. The fryer operates on a 400/440 V three-phase supply, suitable for commercial kitchens with higher power demands. The 15.9 kW power rating ensures quick heating and temperature maintenance under load.

The 18-litre oil capacity supports a 15 kg per hour output, balancing batch size with recovery time. The fryer's dimensions of 400 x 90 x 900 mm fit compact kitchen layouts, while its 63 kg weight requires two people or a trolley for safe relocation. The basket accommodates standard portion sizes without overcrowding.

Cleaning involves removing the front control panel to access internal parts. The rotating heating elements and lift-out vat simplify oil drainage and scrubbing. Drip trays with strainers catch debris, and the Scotch-Brite finish resists stains and scratches. The included oil filter and drainage pan streamline oil changes and disposal.

This model is available in single or double vat configurations, each supplied with baskets, lids, a vat filter, and basket supports. It is designed for professional kitchens needing consistent frying performance and integrated storage solutions.
