TECNOINOX Drop-in Electric Fry Top DFTR35E2 for Worktops

A drop-in electric fry top integrates directly into a stainless-steel worktop, creating a flush cooking surface without gaps or edges. The heating element lies beneath a smooth metal plate, transferring heat evenly across the entire area. This design eliminates hot spots and allows precise temperature control for grilling, searing or shallow frying. Because the unit sits level with the worktop, spills and debris stay on the surface rather than falling into crevices, simplifying cleaning and reducing fire risk.

The operator places the fry top into a prepared cut-out in the worktop, connects the electrical supply, and secures the unit with the supplied clamps. Once powered, the thermostat maintains the set temperature across the plate. Food is cooked directly on the surface, which can be used for everything from bacon and eggs to vegetables and flatbreads. The absence of raised edges means utensils can slide freely, and the entire area is usable for cooking.

Constructed from stainless steel, the DFTR35E2 resists corrosion and withstands the heat and moisture of a busy kitchen. The 350 mm depth allows it to fit standard worktop depths while leaving room for adjacent appliances. A weight of 27.2 kg indicates a solid build that remains stable during use but can still be lifted by two people for installation or repositioning.

Dual voltage capability—230 V single-phase or 400 V three-phase—lets the unit adapt to the electrical supply of the kitchen without requiring a transformer. The power range of 3.0 to 3.9 kW reflects the load it places on the circuit; this must be matched to the kitchen's wiring and fuse rating to avoid tripping.

The fry top requires regular cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove grease and food residue. The stainless-steel surface can be polished to maintain its appearance, but abrasive pads or harsh chemicals should be avoided to prevent scratching or corrosion. No disassembly is needed for routine cleaning, as the smooth surface has no crevices where debris can accumulate.

The DFTR35E2 is available in a 400 V three-phase variant under completion code 136012, offering the same dimensions and construction but configured for a different electrical supply. Both versions are designed for seamless integration into stainless-steel worktops, making them suitable for professional kitchens where space and hygiene are critical.

This fry top is categorised under drop-in electric cooking equipment, positioned alongside other modular appliances for commercial kitchens.
