LOTUS Gas Confectioner's Fryer 20 Litre FPG-20

Confectioner's fryers operate by heating oil within a tank to a specific temperature, allowing food items to be submerged for cooking. The gas burners beneath the tank provide the heat source, controlled to maintain the desired oil temperature for optimal frying results. This method is particularly suited for producing a range of fried sweets and pastries. The FPG-20 is used by loading the tank with oil and heating it to the required temperature. Sweet items are then placed in the included basket and lowered into the hot oil. Once cooked, the basket is lifted, drained, and the contents removed. The fryer includes lids for covering the tank when not in use and a filter system with basket support. A front oil drain facilitates safe and easy removal of used oil. Constructed from CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 grade Stainless Steel with a Scotch-Brite Satin polish, the unit features a 1 mm thick worktop, rounded edges, chromed details, and a rear splashback. The tank dimensions are optimised for frying sweets. Controls include Piezoelectric ignition for the burners and a pilot light. Safety is addressed with thermostatic and thermocouple safety valves. The 11.2 kW power rating indicates the energy output of the gas burners. The 20-litre volume refers to the oil capacity of the tank. The unit measures 600 mm in length, 700 mm in width, and 250 mm in height, with a weight of 43 kg. These dimensions define its footprint and handling requirements. Cleaning and maintenance are simplified by the front oil drain and the ability to access all serviceable parts by removing the front control panel. This appliance is listed in the catalogue for gas fryer applications.
