With an 11-litre stainless steel oil tank, a thermostat range of 30–190°C and a 3.0 kW heating element running on a standard 15A outlet, it delivers rapid heat-up and steady temperature recovery to keep output moving during busy service periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from stainless steel throughout, the EF-TE is designed with operator safety and ease of maintenance firmly in mind.
