Firex Figaro DFIE100A V2 Multi-Function Cooker 102Ltr

The Firex Figaro DFIE100A V2 is a multi-function cooking unit designed to consolidate several large-capacity pieces of equipment into a single machine. Operating at 400V and drawing 24kW, it handles the roles typically covered by a separate braising pan, boiling kettle, fryer and conventional cooker — all within one floor-standing unit with a 102-litre capacity. The electronic control board manages cooking parameters automatically, which reduces the margin for operator error and keeps output consistent across different cooks and shifts.

In a busy production or central kitchen environment, the Figaro's main practical advantage is throughput. Large batch cooking — stocks, sauces, braises, frying — can be carried out in a single vessel without moving product between pieces of equipment. The automatic monitoring system means the unit can be set and left to maintain the correct conditions without constant attention, freeing kitchen staff to focus elsewhere during service or production periods. The steel construction is built for sustained daily use, and Firex's reputation in this class of equipment reflects a long track record in professional kitchen environments.

Key operational advantages include:

• Replaces multiple large-format appliances, reducing equipment footprint
• Electronic control board with automatic process monitoring for consistent results
• Suitable for braising, boiling, frying and general cooking from one unit
• High-volume capacity well suited to central production and batch cooking
• Reduces cross-contamination risk by keeping processes contained in one vessel

At 330kg and with overall dimensions that demand careful planning, this is not a unit to position without a properly surveyed installation. It requires a three-phase 400V supply and sufficient ventilation — whether via a canopy extraction system or alternative means — and the floor loading, access route, and final position should all be confirmed before ordering. The 1296mm depth and 960mm width mean adjacencies and workflow around the unit need considered layout planning.

The Figaro DFIE100A V2 is best suited to central production kitchens, hospital or care catering, large contract catering operations, and any site that runs significant batch cooking volumes across multiple process types. It is less well matched to smaller à la carte kitchens where batch volumes are low and equipment versatility is less of a priority. For sites with more modest output requirements, a smaller-capacity unit in the range may be a more proportionate investment; for very high-volume sites running multiple parallel production lines, it is worth discussing whether a single unit will meet demand or whether two smaller units would offer better operational resilience.

If you're working through the specification for your kitchen or want to confirm whether the Figaro is the right fit for your output volumes and available services, the team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit.
