LOTUS Electric Range with Oven GN1/1 and 4 Square Hotplates CFVQ4-78ETX/V

An electric range built for professional kitchens, combining four square cast iron hotplates with a static or fan-assisted oven in a single unit. The appliance heats food through direct contact with the hotplates and circulating hot air in the oven, delivering even cooking across multiple dishes simultaneously. The hotplates transfer heat rapidly to pots and pans, while the oven's fan distributes warmth uniformly, eliminating cold spots and reducing cooking times for large batches.

To operate, the user selects a heat setting for each hotplate using the seven-position switches, which control the power output in stages. The oven temperature is set between 50 and 300 °C, allowing for everything from gentle warming to high-heat roasting. Once the desired settings are chosen, the appliance maintains the selected temperatures until manually adjusted or switched off. The oven accommodates a GN1/1 gastronorm tray, and a wire grid measuring 53 by 32.5 cm is included for additional loading options.

The construction is entirely in CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish, including a 2 mm thick worktop with rounded edges for safety and durability. Chrome-plated components and IPX5-rated water-resistant control knobs protect against moisture and splashes. The front control panel lifts away easily, exposing all serviceable parts for straightforward maintenance. Adjustable feet allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors.

The 15.4 kW power rating reflects the load the range places on a three-phase electrical supply, requiring a dedicated 400 V circuit. The 800 mm width and 705 mm depth determine the floor space needed, while the 900 mm height fits beneath standard worktop overhangs. The oven cavity measures 550 by 370 by 340 mm, providing volume for a single GN1/1 tray. At 120 kg, the range is heavy enough to remain stable during use but can be moved with a pallet truck or trolley.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, focusing on the worktop and control panel. The cast iron hotplates should be scrubbed after each use to remove food residue, while the oven interior can be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner once cooled. The chrome-plated components and satin finish resist staining but benefit from regular polishing to maintain appearance. A 440 V version is available for sites with different electrical infrastructure.

The range is categorised under professional cooking equipment, specifically as a floor-standing electric range with an integrated oven.
