#@@# Surface Heat Control#@#
Operators benefit from direct manual thermostatic control that places temperature adjustments at the cook's fingertips. Precise settings reduce product variation and support consistent portion yields during peak service hours.
#@@# Thick Steel Plate#@#
A 1-inch polished steel plate provides mass and thermal stability, sustaining even heat transfer and minimizing cold spots. Chefs rely on the plate to retain heat during high throughput cycles, producing uniform browning across the 18-inch surface.
#@@# Rapid Ignition Safety#@#
Battery spark ignition starts the unit quickly and reliably, while an integrated flame failure safety device protects staff and facilities. Faster startup shortens prep time, and the safety device prevents unattended gas flow.
#@@# Stainless Exterior Durability#@#
Stainless steel front and sides resist corrosion while simplifying daily sanitation workflows in commercial kitchens. The exterior finish supports frequent cleaning without degrading appearance or performance.
#@@# Adjustable Countertop Stability#@#
Four-inch adjustable legs allow precise leveling on uneven counters, maintaining stable contact with the work surface. Technicians complete installations faster, and staff experience safer, wobble-free operation.
#@@# Regulatory Compliance#@#
CSA and NSF certifications validate the unit for commercial foodservice environments and simplify permitting processes. Facilities managers can document compliance with recognized third-party standards for safety and sanitation.
