40 Cm Commercial Table-top Griddle Smooth / Ribbed Surface Hot Plate Griddle Tall 900 Series

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

A: The smooth variant uses polished steel plate. The ribbed variant uses cast iron with raised grill lines. Both surfaces sit directly above the gas burner manifold for consistent heat transfer.

Q: Can this unit run on both LPG and natural gas?

A: Yes. The gas valve includes an adjustable regulator set at the factory for LPG or natural gas. Conversion requires nozzle replacement and pressure adjustment, both detailed in the installation manual.

Q: How does the grease management system work?

A: A shallow channel runs around the perimeter of the cooking surface, sloping toward a front collection point. Grease and liquids drain into a removable drip tray during service. The tray slides out for cleaning without dismantling the griddle.

Q: Is this griddle suitable for food truck installation?

A: Yes. The 40 cm width and 70 kg weight fit standard mobile kitchen layouts. Gas connection uses flexible hose with quick-disconnect fittings. Operators must secure the unit to floor brackets and ensure adequate ventilation per local mobile catering codes.

Q: How do I control temperature zones across the cooking surface?

A: The single gas valve controls overall burner output. Temperature variation occurs through positioning: items needing high heat sit above the burner center, while gentler cooking happens at the edges. Operators adjust flame height and item placement to manage multiple products simultaneously.
