Fagor Kore 700 Benchtop Electric Mild Steel Griddle FT-E705L

The Fagor FT-E705L is a Kore 700 series benchtop electric griddle with a smooth mild steel fry-top, built for searing, breakfast service and continuous flat-top cooking in cafes, food trucks and compact commercial cooklines. Its 328 × 468 mm single-zone plate is driven by a 5 kW, 415V three-phase element with thermostatic control from 100–300°C, all in a 400 mm-wide deep-drawn AISI-304 stainless steel body with IPX5 water protection for wash-down cleaning.

Why operators choose the FT-E705L

• Quick-heating mild steel plate — the smooth 328 × 468 mm fry-top sears and browns consistently, welded directly to the deep-drawn shell for efficient heat transfer.
• 5 kW three-phase element — rapid reaction and recovery times hold plate temperature through back-to-back orders.
• Thermostatic 100–300°C control — a single knob sets the exact surface temperature, backed by a separate safety thermostat.
• Front-tilted plate with grease tray — fat and liquids drain forward into a removable collection tray for a cleaner station.
• Hygienic deep-drawn build — 1.5 mm AISI-304 stainless steel with rounded edges and hidden screws, so wipe-downs are fast.
• IPX5 water protection — rated for commercial wash-down environments, with components accessed from the front.
• Compact 400 mm footprint — a dedicated flat-top that fits a tight benchline.

Specifications

Venue suitability

The FT-E705L suits cafes, breakfast bars, food trucks and back-of-house lines where bench space is tight but a dedicated flat-top earns its keep — the single heating zone and 400 mm width are matched to low-to-medium breakfast, burger and grill volumes. Sites running many simultaneous flat-top orders are better served by the 800 mm FT-E710L in the same series, and because the unit needs a 415V three-phase supply it is not suited to venues with single-phase power only.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Should I choose the mild steel FT-E705L or the chrome FT-E705CL? A: The FT-E705L's mild steel plate is the searing workhorse — it heats quickly and browns burgers, steaks and breakfast items consistently. The chrome-plate FT-E705CL releases food more cleanly and wipes down faster between services, which suits delicate items and mixed menus. Both share the same 400 mm, 5 kW single-zone format.

Q: Is the FT-E705L gas or electric? A: It is fully electric — 415V three-phase at 5 kW with stainless steel heating elements. The "NG" that appears in some legacy listings is a naming artifact, not a gas rating.

Q: What size is the cooking surface? A: The smooth mild steel plate measures 328 × 468 mm and runs as a single heating zone, with the overall unit at 400 × 730 × 290 mm (W×D×H).

Q: What electrical connection does it need? A: A 415V three-phase plus neutral supply, hard-wired by a licensed electrician — it is not a plug-in single-phase appliance.

Q: How easy is it to clean? A: The plate tilts forward to drain grease into a removable tray, the deep-drawn shell has rounded edges and hidden screws, and the IPX5 rating means it stands up to commercial wash-down.

Q: What warranty does the FT-E705L carry? A: 2 years parts & labour plus 2 years parts only, with product registration within 14 days of invoice.
