LOTUS Electric Fryer with Neutral Cabinet 8+8 Litre F2/8-94ETX

An electric fryer with two independent vats heats oil in each vat with submerged elements, circulating the heat evenly through the oil. The fryer maintains a steady temperature, allowing food to cook quickly and uniformly while forming a crisp outer layer. A neutral cabinet beneath the vats provides dry, ambient storage for ingredients or finished batches, keeping them within reach during service.

The operator lowers the baskets into the hot oil, where the food fries until the timer signals completion. After lifting the baskets, excess oil drains back into the vats, and the food is transferred to the cabinet or serving area. The fryer's dual thermostats monitor each vat separately, preventing overheating and triggering visual and audible alerts if the safety thermostat activates.

The construction is 18/10 CrNi stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish, including a 2 mm thick worktop with rounded edges and chrome-plated details. The rear panel acts as a protective shield, while the control handles are IPX5-rated for water resistance. Two drip trays with strainers collect oil and food debris, and the rotating heating elements simplify vat cleaning. The front control panel detaches for access to internal components, and adjustable feet ensure a level setup on uneven floors.

Each vat holds 8 litres of oil, and the fryer processes up to 12 kg of food per hour. The 12 kW power rating requires a 400/440 V 3-phase supply, typical for high-demand catering equipment. The 63 kg weight indicates a freestanding unit that can be repositioned with a trolley, while the 400x900x900 mm footprint fits into a standard worktop run.

Cleaning involves removing the front panel to reach internal parts, emptying the oil via the drainage pan included with the oil filter, and wiping down the stainless steel surfaces. The rotating elements lift out for thorough scrubbing, and the drip trays slide free for rinsing.

This model is part of the F2/8-94ETX series, available with single or dual vats, and comes with baskets, lids, a vat filter and basket supports. The catalogue places it in professional fryers with integrated storage.
