We’ve received several phone calls complaining about duct and fan cleaning carried out by the below advert. We are not connected to this advert in any way, we do not know who they are, they are just trying to leverage the good reputation of the Far East name, and we are unable to help you if you have any problems with this firm.

No gas? Limited ventilation? No problems! Our new induction wok range gives the performance of a turbo burner with none of the noise, fumes or gas! We’ve got dim sum steamers, noodle boilers and stockpot cookers too.

Due to a planned interruption of our head office electrical supply, our offices will be closed throughout the morning of Thursday 24th October 2019. We won’t have any telephones or computers. We are told electricity should be restored around 1 pm.

Update as of 1345 hrs Power restored, we’re open again

Far East’s fan-assisted turbo burner has been a popular choice for many years because of its combination of reliability, performance, ease of use and service backup – but we’re always looking for ways to improve our products now we’ve made our turbo even better! This improvement comes with all new turbos as standard, but it can be retrofitted by end users to our many existing CE Turbos at minimal cost too.

The new stainless steel “turbo cone insert” (TUBCN) replaces the horseshoe plate (cast iron or stainless steel) that sits in the bottom of the cooker turbo ring; it reduces cooking time by around 15% whilst also collecting spillages and providing additional heat shielding for components. If you need a cast iron ring too, search for “XTRAO“.

Other improvements on our latest turbo burner design include a redesigned pilot and ignition system with improved drainage and shielding that will tolerate water splashing and cleaning.

As of December 2020 the rear shelf design has been updated and the information in this post is no longer accurate. All CEFT wok cookers now come with one or two piece rear shelving that covers most of the width of the unit, the exact sizes can be seen in the plan drawings

Far East’s wok cookers have always come with a full width shelf at the rear as standard, mounted across the top of the backsplash, sometimes referred to as a “spice rack”. However, customers have told us the length of these can make them difficult to remove for cleaning, and they are often much larger than required, so we have updated the design.

All new CEFT wok cookers will come with clip-on backshelves (XTRAJ) that are 450mm wide and 175mm deep. These have several benefits:
• Fit inside commercial dishwashers for easy cleaning
• Easier to remove and handle
• Improve air flow around the cook top, particularly around the rear burners
• Can be slid along the backsplash to desired position and other accessories (such as a ladle holder) placed in between

We include some of the new XTRAJ backshelves as standard. If you don’t need them all, we’ll knock £80+VAT off the price for each one you don’t have, and if you need extra, they’re just £80+VAT each.
• CEFT21 includes 1 XTRAJ 450mm clip-on backshelf
• CEFT32 includes 2 XTRAJ 450mm clip-on backshelf
• CEFT43 includes 2 XTRAJ 450mm clip-on backshelf
• CEFT54 includes 3 XTRAJ 450mm clip-on backshelf

If you prefer the old style full-width backshelves, these are still available as an option. Please note the two types are not interchangeable.
