The S13 Commercial Lift Salamander Grill uses overhead radiant heat to finish plated dishes, melt cheese, caramelise surfaces, and reheat prepared items. The 450×500 mm grid accommodates multiple plates or large trays simultaneously. Height adjustment allows operators to control heat intensity for different menu items without changing power settings.
Commercial Application
This unit sits above or beside the main cooking line where finished plates need surface browning, gratins require top crusting, or open sandwiches need cheese melting. The adjustable lift mechanism positions food at varying distances from the heating element, giving chefs mechanical control over radiant heat exposure without adjusting temperature dials.
During service, the grill processes plated dishes in 60-90 seconds depending on distance and food type. The 450×500 mm working area holds six 230 mm plates or three full-size gastronorm containers, allowing line cooks to finish multiple orders in one cycle without repositioning.
Key Operational Advantages
- 450×500 mm stainless steel grid accommodates six standard plates or three 1/1 GN containers
- Mechanical lift system adjusts food distance from heating element without electrical controls
- Stainless steel drip tray collects rendered fat and liquids during finishing operations
- 28 kg unit weight allows wall mounting or countertop placement without structural reinforcement
- Electric radiant element provides overhead heat for surface finishing and cheese melting

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What surface material is the grid made from?
A: The 450×500 mm grid uses stainless steel bars welded at 12 mm intervals. The bars support plates and containers directly without additional mesh or sheet metal inserts.
Q: How does the height adjustment mechanism work?
A: A counterbalanced pulley system raises and lowers the grid platform through seven fixed positions at 50 mm increments. Each position locks with a spring-loaded pin that releases when the operator lifts the handle.
Q: How is the drip tray removed for cleaning?
A: The stainless steel tray slides forward from the front of the unit on two guide rails. The tray clears the frame completely for washing in a sink or dishwasher.
Q: Can this unit be installed in a mobile food service vehicle?
A: The 28 kg weight and 5×4×6 cm footprint allow countertop or wall mounting in commercial vehicles. Electrical connection requires a dedicated circuit protected by appropriate breaker rating for the heating element.
Q: Does this model have separate temperature zones?
A: The single overhead heating element provides uniform radiant heat across the entire 450×500 mm area. Temperature control is mechanical—operators adjust food distance from the element using the lift mechanism rather than changing electrical power output.
