Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the cooking plates chrome-plated or stainless steel?
A: Cast iron plates with ceramic coating. Not chrome. The ceramic surface provides non-stick properties and heat distribution without chrome's chipping risk under daily commercial use.
Q: Is this model gas or electric powered?
A: Electric only. Requires mains connection and thermostat control. No gas variant available for model 101017.
Q: How does grease drain during cooking?
A: Ribbed plate channels fat toward front edge where it drips into removable stainless steel tray. Tray slides out for emptying and dishwasher cleaning after service.
Q: Can this unit be installed in a food truck?
A: Yes, if power supply and ventilation meet local mobile catering regulations. Requires stable mounting surface and clearance for upper plate hinge travel. Confirm electrical capacity with vehicle system before installation.
Q: Does the grill offer independent temperature zones?
A: No. Single thermostat controls both upper and lower plates simultaneously. All cooking zones reach the same set temperature.
