This offer ends in:
The WG500S processes burgers, eggs, pancakes, bacon, and vegetables on a 500×490 mm flat steel surface. It delivers 3kW heating across an 8mm thick plate in breakfast cafés, burger restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations. Single-phase 230V operation suits countertop installation in high-volume service environments.
Commercial Application
This griddle handles simultaneous preparation of multiple menu items during peak breakfast and lunch periods. The flat surface accommodates eight burger patties or twelve eggs at once, reducing queue time in quick-service operations. Temperature control allows operators to hold cooked items at serving temperature while preparing fresh batches.
Positioned on the hot line, it maintains continuous output throughout service. A 19 kg weight and 490 mm depth fit standard commercial counter layouts. The removable grease tray collects runoff during cooking without interrupting workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the cooking surface chrome-plated or plain steel?
A: The WG500S uses plain steel plate construction without chrome plating. The 8mm thickness provides direct thermal mass for even cooking. Operators season the surface before first use following standard flat-top griddle protocols.
Q: Does this model operate on electricity only?
A: Yes, the WG500S is an electric-only unit powered by 230V single-phase supply. It does not offer any alternative fuel configuration. The 3kW heating element connects to standard commercial kitchen electrical circuits.
Q: How does the grease channel system function during cleaning?
A: The unit features a front grease channel that drains into a removable collection tray. Operators slide out the tray during service without moving the griddle. The channel and tray both clean in standard commercial dishwashers.
Q: Can this griddle mount in a food truck or mobile catering vehicle?
A: The 19 kg weight and 500 mm depth suit countertop installation in mobile catering vehicles. Operators must secure the unit during transport and verify 230V supply availability at service locations. The single-phase power requirement matches most food truck electrical systems.
Q: Does the griddle offer multiple temperature zones across the cooking surface?
A: The WG500S provides single-zone temperature control via one thermostat. Heat distributes evenly across the entire 500×490 mm surface from the central heating element. Operators adjust one dial to set the cooking temperature for all items on the plate.
