#@@# Eight Element Layout#@#
Eight flat solid elements provide distributed heat across a 48" top to accommodate multiple pots and pans at once. The arrangement reduces bottlenecks during peak service and supports concurrent menu production with independent infinite controls for each zone.
#@@# Infinite Temperature Control#@#
Infinite controls allow precise, variable adjustment for each element to match cooking tasks from simmering to rapid boil. Operators gain fine-tune control that improves consistency and reduces product waste from overcooking.
#@@# Stainless Steel Construction#@#
Stainless steel front, top, and sides deliver corrosion resistance and withstand daily cleaning protocols common in foodservice environments. The solid-top design minimizes seams and crevices, simplifying sanitation and inspection compliance.
#@@# Power And Electrical Rating#@#
The unit draws 77 amps at 208 volts and outputs 16,000 watts, enabling sustained high-capacity operation for continuous service periods. Technicians will note the single-phase electrical configuration simplifies hookups in many commercial kitchens.
#@@# Stability And Clearance#@#
Four-inch legs with adjustable feet provide stable placement and easy leveling on uneven floors while maintaining required under-counter clearance. Service staff gain straightforward access for routine cleaning beneath the countertop unit.
