Arilex 40FRYECN 40 cm electric fry-top with smooth 15 mm hard chrome plate

Description

The fry-top has a 15 mm steel plate with hard chrome plating · 40 cm · 400 V

Why we recommend it

The fry-top is the same machine as the ground steel version, with the plate coated in hard chrome. The change is not in how it griddles, but in the work it takes after service: it does not rust, so it needs no seasoning or oiling, and almost nothing sticks, so it cleans with the scraper and a cloth at every shift change. It also keeps its flatness and appearance for years, which is welcome when different people clean it on each shift.

The fry-top, with 302 × 396 mm of usable surface and 3.9 kW, is the compact format in the electric range: it fits where nothing else will and covers a bar or a short menu. Being electric, it produces no flame or combustion fumes, so it is very convenient in enclosed kitchens or those with limited extraction, and the thermostat gives it finer temperature control than gas.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the ground plate and the hard chrome plate?

It is the same machine; what changes is the plate finish. Ground steel is machine-ground until completely flat and needs seasoning with oil. Hard chrome does not rust, needs no seasoning and almost nothing sticks to it, so it is cleaned with the scraper at each shift change.

What electrical installation does this fry-top need?

The fry-top uses 3.9 kW. Contact us on 622 872 311 if you are unsure whether your electrical panel can take it.

Does it need an extractor hood?

Yes. The fry-top works with an open plate and needs a hood with enough extraction above it, sized for the power of the unit.

How much space does the fry-top take up?

It measures 385 × 587 × 364 mm. The measurement includes the rear splashback, so it is worth checking the space with that height and leaving air space behind.

Does the plate need seasoning?

No. Hard chrome does not rust, so it needs neither seasoning nor greasing. Just avoid heavy knocks and abrasive products.

What warranty and delivery time does it have?
