Fagor Kore 700 Benchtop Chrome Electric Griddle FT-E705CL

The Fagor FT-E705CL is a benchtop chrome electric griddle from the Kore 700 series, pairing a smooth 328 × 468 mm mirror-chrome plate with a 5 kW, 415V three-phase element for cafes, breakfast bars and mixed-menu cooklines where clean food release and fast wipe-downs matter. The single heating zone is thermostatically controlled from 100–300°C, and the 400 mm-wide deep-drawn AISI-304 stainless steel body is IPX5-rated for commercial wash-down.

Why operators choose the FT-E705CL

• Mirror-chrome smooth plate — food releases cleanly and the surface is quicker to clean than a mild steel fry-top between services.
• Thermostatic 100–300°C control — a single knob holds an accurate set temperature, with a safety thermostat behind it.
• 5 kW three-phase element — fast heat-up and quick recovery keep the plate at temperature under load.
• Deep-drawn AISI-304 body — 1.5 mm stainless steel with rounded corners and hidden screws for hygienic, fast cleaning.
• Front grease collection — the plate tilts forward to a front opening and removable tray, keeping the cookline tidy.
• IPX5 water protection — sealed to wash-down standards, with front access to components for servicing.

Specifications

Venue suitability

The FT-E705CL suits cafes, brunch bars, seafood-led menus and mixed cooklines working delicate items — eggs, fish, crepes and pressed sandwiches — where the chrome surface's clean release earns its bench space. The 400 mm footprint fits tight lines, though kitchens hard-searing high volumes of red meat may prefer the mild steel FT-E705L, and sites needing double the surface can step up to the 800 mm FT-E710CL in the same chrome finish.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What does the chrome plate do that mild steel doesn't? A: The mirror-chrome surface releases food cleanly and is quicker to clean than a mild steel fry-top, which suits delicate items and menus that change products often through service. If your line mostly hard-sears burgers and steak, the mild steel FT-E705L offers the same 400 mm, 5 kW single-zone format with a conventional fry-top.

Q: Is the FT-E705CL electric or gas? A: Fully electric — 415V three-phase at 5 kW with thermostatic control. The "NG" seen in some legacy listings is a naming carry-over on an electric model.

Q: What size is the chrome cooking plate? A: The smooth chrome plate measures 328 × 468 mm as a single heating zone with one control knob; the overall unit is 400 × 730 × 290 mm (W×D×H).

Q: What installation does it need? A: A hard-wired 415V three-phase plus neutral connection by a licensed electrician — no gas or plumbing connection is required.

Q: What are the packed dimensions for delivery? A: It packs to 822 × 440 × 535 mm at 83 kg (70 kg net), so it fits through standard commercial doorways with room to spare.

Q: What warranty comes with the FT-E705CL? A: 2 years parts & labour plus 2 years parts only, with product registration within 14 days of invoice.
