The W22 produces round bubble-pattern pancakes through electrically heated cast plates. It operates at 1400W on 230V supply and processes individual units in timed cycles. Cafés, dessert parlours, and hotel breakfast services use it for batch waffle production during continuous service periods.
Commercial Application
The unit fits counter or prep line positions where staff produce waffles to order or in batches ahead of service. Covered plates retain heat between cycles and reduce temperature variation across production runs. The fixed bubble pattern delivers consistent portion appearance without adjustment.
Operators pour batter, close the lid, and monitor timing based on batter thickness and desired colour. The 1400W element maintains plate temperature during back-to-back cycles. Production rate depends on batter volume per cycle and operator workflow during peak periods.
Key Operational Advantages
- 1400W heating element reaches working temperature in initial warm-up period
- Covered design retains plate heat and reduces external surface temperature
- Round bubble pattern creates uniform portion geometry across batches
- 230V single-phase connection integrates with standard UK commercial electrical supply
- 12 kg weight permits countertop placement without structural reinforcement
- Cast plates maintain thermal mass during continuous operation

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the diameter of the cooking plate and bubble pattern?
A: The plate produces a round waffle approximately 20–22 cm in diameter with a bubble grid pattern. Exact bubble count and depth depend on the specific mould geometry fitted to this model.
Q: How many waffles can the W22 produce per hour?
A: Output depends on batter thickness and cook time, typically 3–5 minutes per cycle. Operators achieve 12–20 units per hour with efficient batter preparation and immediate reloading between cycles.
Q: Does the unit require a dedicated electrical circuit?
A: 1400W draw at 230V is approximately 6 amps. A dedicated 13-amp circuit is recommended to avoid nuisance tripping during warm-up or when other equipment shares the same ring.
Q: What material are the cooking plates made from?
A: Cast aluminium with factory-applied non-stick coating. The coating requires seasoning before first use and periodic re-seasoning depending on production volume and cleaning methods.
Q: Is the W22 suitable for home use or only commercial kitchens?
A: The unit is built for commercial duty cycles and prolonged operation. Home users can operate it, but the size, weight, and power draw are specified for café and catering environments.
