LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug gas supply and cool griddle. Scrape debris with a stainless spatula, then use mild detergent and hot water; scrub with a non-abrasive pad. Rinse and dry with a clean cloth. Clean the 3-1/2" grease trough daily; check splash guard and knobs for buildup. Clean burners and pilot assembly monthly; check thermostat calibration. Keep condenser areas clear to improve efficiency and reduce breakdown risk. Regular cleaning prevents contamination, fires, higher bills, and inspection failures.#@@#Additional Info#@#The Star 872TCHSA 72" gas griddle offers 180,000 BTU across a 72" x 24" surface with a 1" T1 steel chrome plate, thermostatic controls, standing pilot, welded frame, 4" stainless legs, and a 3-1/2" grease trough.

This 72 inch gas countertop griddle combines broad cooking capacity with effective temperature management, enabling continuous production without quality drift. Chefs maintain consistent searing across the full plate while operators benefit from a robust design for extended service life.
Precise mechanical snap-action thermostats embed every 12 inches across the surface, delivering repeatable setpoints from 150° to 550° F. Operators achieve consistent cooking results and reduce waste by controlling zones independently for pans, sautéing, and direct griddle work.
The 1 inch T1 steel griddle plate features a hexavalent chrome finish that sustains high heat transfer and resists wear under heavy traffic. Kitchens benefit from even heat distribution across 72 inches of cooking area, minimizing cold spots during continuous runs.
A total of 180,000 BTU supplies robust thermal capacity that supports simultaneous high-volume tasks. Staff can sear proteins, hold product, and finish pans without performance loss during peak service periods.
A 3-1/2 inch front grease trough pairs with a 4-3/8 inch tapered wrap-around splash guard to channel runoff and contain spatter. Maintenance cycles shorten because the design centralizes grease for straightforward removal and reduces risk to adjacent equipment.
The unit mounts on a welded steel frame with a stainless steel exterior and 4 inch stainless legs with 1-3/8 inch adjustment for stable installation. Facilities gain corrosion resistance and easy leveling on uneven floors, supporting strict sanitation routines.
The griddle meets cULus and UL EPH classifications and ships assembled in the United States for traceable quality control. Technicians access standing pilot components and heavy-duty knobs for dependable ignition and straightforward field service.
