101058 - Gas Countertop Griddle - Dual Control

Q: Is the cooking surface machined steel or chrome-plated?

A: The surface is machined steel, not chrome. Steel provides better heat retention and even distribution for high-volume cooking. Chrome surfaces heat faster but do not hold temperature as consistently under heavy loads.

Q: Can this unit operate on LPG instead of natural gas?

A: Yes. The griddle ships configured for natural gas but includes an LPG conversion kit. Conversion involves changing the orifice and adjusting the air shutter. A qualified gas technician should perform the conversion to maintain warranty and safety compliance.

Q: How is grease managed during service?

A: A front-mounted grease channel runs the width of the cooking surface and drains into a large removable collector. The collector capacity supports extended service periods before emptying. Cleaning involves scraping the surface and wiping the channel between shifts.

Q: Is this griddle suitable for food truck installation?

A: Yes, provided the truck has adequate ventilation and gas supply. The countertop design mounts securely and requires no built-in enclosure. LPG operation is common in mobile kitchens. Verify BTU load with your gas system capacity.

Q: How do the dual temperature zones work?

A: Two independent control valves regulate heat across two 12-inch zones. Each zone operates separately, allowing different cooking temperatures on the same surface. Operators adjust each knob to match the food being prepared in that section.
