101060 - Gas Countertop Griddle Quad Control

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

A: The surface is machined steel plate without chrome plating. This construction retains heat more effectively than plated sheet metal and tolerates metal spatulas without surface degradation. The steel develops a seasoned finish with use.

Q: Can this griddle operate on LPG for food truck installation?

A: The unit ships configured for natural gas but includes an LPG conversion kit. Conversion requires replacing the orifice set and adjusting regulator pressure to manufacturer specification. Most food truck operators complete conversion before first use.

Q: How do the four temperature zones function during service?

A: Each control knob governs a 12-inch section of the griddle plate independently. One operator can hold eggs at 150°C on zone one while searing burgers at 230°C on zone four. Zones do not influence adjacent sections.

Q: What is the grease management system for this unit?

A: A perimeter grease channel slopes toward a front-mounted collector tray. The operator removes the collector mid-service without accessing burner chambers or interrupting adjacent cooking zones. Capacity handles typical breakfast service volume.

Q: Does the standby pilot reduce gas consumption compared to continuous ignition?

A: The standby pilot consumes minimal gas between cooking cycles compared to electronic ignition systems that cycle repeatedly. During extended service periods, the pilot remains lit while individual zones ignite and extinguish as needed. This design reduces total gas consumption in operations with fluctuating demand.
