Panini Griddle 50 Cm 20" Heavy Duty Commercial Panini Contact grill Ribbed

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

A: Both plates are raw cast iron. The ribbed top plate and flat bottom plate require seasoning before first use. Cast iron provides superior heat retention compared to chrome-plated steel surfaces.

Q: Does this model operate on natural gas or LPG?

A: Factory configuration uses natural gas. LPG conversion kit available separately; requires orifice replacement and pressure regulator adjustment. Specify gas type at time of order.

Q: How is grease removed during continuous service?

A: Perimeter channels on both plates direct rendered fat to front collection tray. Empty tray between peak periods. Cast iron surface wipes clean with high-temperature cloth between press cycles.

Q: Can this unit be installed in a food truck?

A: Yes. 9 kg weight and compact footprint suit mobile installations. Requires secure countertop mounting and compliant gas line connection. Verify local authority requirements for LPG cylinder storage in mobile food vehicles.

Q: Does the grill have independent temperature zones?

A: No. Single burner heats the bottom plate; top plate temperature regulated by contact duration and pressure. Cast iron mass maintains stable temperature across the 50 cm surface during sequential pressing.
