Available Options
The IZ4/M171-70 is a 70 cm gas-fired flat-top griddle with a smooth steel cooking surface. It delivers 6.5 kW across a continuous plate for simultaneous cooking of burgers, eggs, bacon, pancakes, and vegetables. Operators in burger restaurants, breakfast cafés, hotel kitchens, and food trucks use it as a primary cooking surface during high-volume service.
Commercial Application
This griddle replaces multiple single-purpose pans with one continuous cooking surface. The 70 cm width accommodates 8–12 burger patties or equivalent mixed items side by side. Operators manage different products across temperature zones without separating equipment or switching burners between orders.
During breakfast service, one side handles eggs and bacon while the other toasts buns or sears vegetables. The gas burner arrangement under the plate maintains consistent surface temperature without electric recovery delays. Grease channels direct runoff to collection points for mid-service cleaning without surface interruption.
Key Operational Advantages

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the cooking surface chrome-plated or plain steel?
A: The IZ4/M171-70 uses pressed steel plate without chrome coating. Plain steel allows direct metal spatula contact and high-temperature searing without surface degradation. Operators season the plate with cooking oil after installation to build a non-stick patina.
Q: Can this griddle operate on electric power instead of gas?
A: This model is gas-only with burners designed for LPG or natural gas. Electric griddles require different heating element configuration and are supplied as separate model numbers. Gas units reach working temperature faster and operate during power interruptions.
Q: How does grease drainage work during continuous cooking?
A: The plate has a welded perimeter channel with slight front slope directing grease to a collection drawer. Operators pull the drawer mid-service without shutting down the griddle. The channel handles bacon, burger, and sausage runoff without surface pooling.
Q: Will this unit fit in a food truck with standard counter height?
A: At 30 cm total height and 45 kg weight, the griddle mounts on food truck prep surfaces or mobile carts without reinforcement. Gas line connection requires 1/2-inch flexible hose rated for commercial propane. Operators must provide overhead ventilation per local food truck codes.
Q: Can I control different temperature zones across the cooking surface?
A: The burner system includes individual gas valves for left and right zones. Operators set each side to different output levels for simultaneous high-heat searing and low-heat holding. Full surface uniformity occurs when both valves run at the same setting.
