Laser Cut technology gives seamless joints between
appliances for superior hygiene.
The Deep Drawn Top, pressed from a single piece
of stainless steel, having rounded corners for ease of
cleaning and extra rigidity, gas burners on raised
centre section away from any liquid spills.
Materials
All surfaces manufactured in AISI 304 stainless steel.
Laser cut tops in 2mm thickness for extra sturdiness.
Cooking surfaces including wells which come into contact
with food and salt are manufactured from AISI 316 acid
resistant stainless steel for added protection.
The ceramic tops are 6mm thick.
Water protection
IPX5 water protection throughout the range for ease
of cleaning.
Environment/Comfort
High combustion efficiency on gas appliances
reduces the emission level in the working
environment, this means: healthier environment
and energy saving.
Insulated appliances use 20 mm thick high-grade
insulation for optimum energy conservation and
noise reduction. This insulation is also found in the
doors of both warming and ambient storage
cupboards below worktops/appliances.
Accurate temperature
Thermostatic control of fry tops/griddles greatly
reduces the amount of emissions generated by the
food due to minimal “over shoot” of temperature on
the cooking surface, which makes for a healthier
and more comfortable working environment.
Control Knobs are recessed back from front of
appliances for optimum protection against
damage due to moving trolleys etc., yet they are
easy to read from any angle.

Gas cookers
All open burners on cook tops are equipped with “Flame Failure”
safety device. Special trivets in cast iron allow a bigger gap between
the burner flame and underside of pot/pan. This allows better air
and gas mix to prevent soot build up on underside of cooking
vessels plus optimum heat output.
The burners are located on a raised section within the deep drawn
well for protection against “boil over”. The capacity of the well is 2
liters. All corners are rounded for ease of cleaning.
The cast iron trivets have a smooth finish
and feature extra long “fingers” which
allow pots with a diameter of even 10cm
to sit safely on top without tipping over.
The size of the cooking zones allow pots
of up to 40 cm diameter to be placed on
them. The trivets are designed to allow
“sliding” of pots/pans from one
burner to the other without lifting.
The patented “Flower Flame” burners are available in two power
levels and diameters, 6 kW and 10 kW (Natural Gas at 20 mbar and
LP gas at 30 mbar). You may select a combination of the two or
have two of the same size burners, again giving you flexibility.
The high efficiency Flower Flame burners mean gas savings of up to
30% per year compared to other brand’s burners.
This equates to significant monetary savings.

Solid tops
The cooking surface always maintains the desired temperature for
high-speed mouth watering à la carte dishes or gentle slow
cooking.
The large single burner under the solid top is rated at 10.5 kW
and this means that all the heat energy is directed to the cooking
surface due to the special insulation around it.
A surface temperature of around 500°C can be achieved above
the burner with around 200°C at the outer edge of the cooking
surface with the burner set at maximum.

Cooking hobs
Carbon steel plate cooking surface available in full and half module. The surface
allows pots and pans of various sizes to be used simultaneously. One of the
features is that you can have one heating zone on and use the surrounding
surface for simmering or keeping warm.
The temperature range is from 80°C – 450°C giving the chef real flexibility on either
the 2 heating zoned half module or 4 zoned full module.

The standard fry top cooking plate is manufactured
from 15mm thick special mild steel for even
temperature distribution. Ideal for grilling, browning
and the radiant heat allows thicker cuts of meat to be
cooked perfectly.
The chromium surface means no absorption of
cooking juices into the plate resulting in higher
output of product and more flexibility. Grilling of
various foods with no wasted time cleaning the
surface between, grilling fish, followed by grilling
Fry tops/Griddles
vegetables.
The special “scraping/cleaning” tool supplied removes
all residues. Very little heat energy is lost to the
kitchen environment due to the reflective qualities of
the chromium surface, making the work area more
comfortable.
The fry top features a special burner situated in a
chamber designed to maximize heat energy output to
the cooking plate. Both the burners and chamber
assembly are manufactured from high-grade stainless
steel for maximum life and minimal maintenance
costs.

Electric cookers
The electrically heated hobs are made from 14 mm
thick cast iron with a surface area of 30 cm x 30 cm.
Maximum temperature of 400°C from each of the
4 kW hobs.
This means more usable cooking area on the
appliance surface.
Each hob is coated with a special material for
increased efficiency and to make cleaning easier in
the event of a boil-over.
Each hob is individually controlled.

With an internal height of 300 mm (GN 2/1) it caters to even your largest roasts.
The “Super” size oven (only gas version) has an internal measurement of
900 mm wide x 700 mm deep x 380 mm high so even whole suckling pigs or
lambs can be roasted with ease.
Inside the oven you’ll see a heavy cast iron base plate, which is 4 mm thick and
has additional 4 mm high ribs running both along the top and underside serving
two main purposes. One is to give strength and the other is to allow large roasting
pans to be placed directly on the base. The ribs allow air circulation between the
roasting pan bottom and oven base to minimize burning.
Natural “convection air movement” is achieved through the air/heat flow design,
the oven has special guides to prevent the shelves from falling down if pulled out
to access roasts for basting etc.
For the electric ovens we have a temperature range from
120°C - 300°C and on the gas oven the temperature is ranging form 110°C -
280°C.
The internal walls and ceiling of the oven are made from stainless steel (AISI 430)
with 40 mm insulation for better control of heat distribution and ease of cleaning.
Grid supports and base plate removable for cleaning.
The electric ovens have both top and bottom heating elements, which can be
turned on independently of each other or together. This gives more flexibility to the
chef as with only the top heating element on it can be used as a salamander for
browning/grilling with the door open, or only the bottom element on for some
baking needs and together for roasting.
The oven door handle is also insulated against heat transfer for comfortable
handling.
The electric static ovens also feature a manual vent, which expels heat and
humidity.

The ceramic top plate is 6mm thick and easily
handles heavy pots and pans without cracking, pots
from 130 mm up to 280 mm diameter can be placed
on each zone.
Each induction zone is rated at 5 kW and uses the
latest technology, including an indicator light that
tells whether or not the pot / pan you are using
is “induction friendly” or not suitable.
Extremely energy efficient as when the cooking vessel
is removed there is no energy consumption.
The working environment is much cooler as all the
heat is generated in the pot or pan used.
Energy cost savings can add up to 50% compared to
average gas ranges. With 9 power levels all styles of
cooking are accommodated within each induction
zone.
An over temperature safety cut off device is
fitted to protect the components in case a pot is
placed on empty with the power level control knob
turned on.

Infrared cookers
The ceramic top plate is 6 mm thick and easily
handles heavy pots and pans without cracking.
Pots of up to 300 mm diameter can be placed on
each zone or 2 – 3 smaller sized pots on a single heat
zone.
For added safety, once the pot/pan has been
removed an indicator light warns that the ceramic
surface is hot, even after the control knob has been
returned to the off position.
The infrared zones feature two separate heating
elements, inner and outer for small individual
pots/pans your able to activate the inner smaller area
of element. Larger pots may require both the heating
elements to be on (this is achieved by turning the
knob to maximum power until you hear a “click”).
This energy regulator minimizes energy loss thus
generating savings on running costs.

This appliance is truly multifunctional as grilling, frying,
stirfry, simmering, and boiling can all be achieved
within this unit. You can also use it as a dry bain-
marie since the well is 2/1 GN size.
The cooking surface is manufactured from a 15 mm
compound, that is 12 mm mild steel plate it for even
temperature distribution and high productivity plus
ease of cleaning thanks to the 3 mm plate of corrosion
resistant 316 AISI stainless steel bonded to it.
See figure.
The 60 mm drain outlet is designed
for quick removal of liquid based foods
into a gastronorm container (not
included) which sits on guide rails
below.
All rounded corners for ease of
cleaning.

Grill/Broiler/BBQ
The heavy duty “grids” are designed with two
different grilling surfaces, simply turning them over
changes the surface from a narrow surface area ideal
for grilling meats to a wider surface area for
grilling fish, vegetables etc. The grids leave
distinctive “grill lines” on the foods being cooked.
Excess melted fats run down specially designed
grooves on the sloping grids to a collection point at
front of appliance then into a large capacity drawer.
The grids can be placed inside a dishwasher for cleaning (once they have been
given time to cool down first). On the “half module” 2 grids are present and on the
full size version there are 4 grids. This also gives true flexibility as one or two grids
can be set up for meat grilling while the other for grilling fish or vegetables.
Heating is either from gas burners or electric elements, on the full size module one
side could be set up for high temperature grilling of meats and the other for gentle
grilling of fish for example.
The burners are shielded by special stainless steel radiant covers to both protect
from excess fat/oil contact and to radiate the heat across a wider area. Electric
heating elements are manufactured from incoloy and radiates.
These radiant covers also serve to bring out that typical “charcoal flavour”. They are
also easily removed for cleaning in a dishwasher. The grease collection drawers
can be partly filled with water to generate humidity, giving a moist cooking
environment, and to facilitate cleaning as fats and juices are not burned onto the
drawer bottom.

Boiling pans/Kettles
The lids of the kettles are double skinned with rounded
edges which fit snuggly inside the kettle rim when
closed giving minimal heat and steam/evaporation loss
resulting in faster heat up times.
Better yields of soups, stocks and sauces etc are the
benefits.
The hinge design for the lid has approx 75 mm of
clearance space under for easier cleaning.
All vessels are in 316 AISI stainless steel, truly
corrosion resistant against aggressive sauces and salt.
The 50 mm diameter drain valve allows for rapid
draining and is fully removable for cleaning.
There are two versions available, direct and indirect
heated. The direct heated kettles (only gas models)
are ideal for stocks, clear soups etc, while the indirect
heated kettles are perfect for sauces, cream soups
and similar products as the entire inner surface of the
kettle is evenly heated and requiring less stirring than
a direct heated pan.

electrolux elco 900 19
Bratt/Braising pans
The capacity is 80 /100 liters and flexible in
application as grilling, shallow frying, simmering,
sautè, soups and sauces can all be done in this single
appliance.
The pan has fully coved corners for ease of cleaning
and the pan base is 12 mm thick for even
temperatures across the surface area.
Two choices of bottom plate available, either mild
steel or compound.
1st being 12 mm thick special mild steel while the
other uses compound steel with a 3 mm stainless
steel 316 AISI stainless steel surface ideal for
products with high acidity or cream base sauces for
example, plus 9 mm of mild steel bottom for even
heat distribution.
The lid is double skinned and insulated. With it closed
the top can also be used as a work surface - always
in short demand in today’s compact kitchens.
The tilting mechanism is either by manual operation or
an electric motor for precise control and ease.
All Bratt pans are supplied with a water faucet.
Also available is the cylindrical tilting bratt pan with
two-speed stirrer, and operating temperature range
from 120°C - 220°C and 70-liter capacity. Ideal for
meat based sauces, for example Bolognese, etc.

electrolux elco 90020
Chip scuttle
This appliance also has other applications in that any
fried foods and even hot savouries can be kept hot in
the right environment.
The “tank” features fully coved corners for easy
cleaning and with the perforated removable insert
(which helps prevent foods from sitting in excess oil)
removed the chip scuttle can then be used as a
bain–marie.
The infrared heating element above also increases
the holding time of some foods as no cold air is in this
area. Your customers get hot food!
