Contact grill HENDI 263600

This HENDI contact grill is a single unit designed for professional kitchens. It features a grooved top plate and a smooth bottom plate, allowing for varied cooking applications. The operating principle involves direct contact between the heated plates and the food, cooking from both sides simultaneously. This method provides rapid cooking and creates characteristic grill marks on food cooked on the grooved surface.

The construction includes a body made from 18/0 stainless steel for durability. The grilling surfaces are made of enamelled cast iron, providing good heat retention and distribution. The baking surface area measures 220x230 mm. The top plate is configured with a half grooved and half smooth section.

Operation is managed via a continuously adjustable thermostat, allowing the temperature to be set anywhere between 50 °C and 300 °C. Safety features include vents to prevent overheating. The lower grill incorporates back and side edges, along with a removable drain tray for easy cleaning of grease and food residue. The upper grill is fitted with a heat-resistant handle and a spring mechanism that allows it to be locked securely in any desired position.

Controls include a power switch with an indicator light and a preheat light to signal when the grill has reached the set temperature. The unit is equipped with a 1.7 m power cable and an earthed plug. For stability and to protect work surfaces, rubber feet are included. A grill cleaning brush is also provided.

The 1.8 kW power rating indicates the electrical load required by the appliance. The dimensions of 410 mm in length, 500 mm in width, and 300 mm in height define its footprint and space requirements. Weighing 13.33 kg, the grill is a substantial piece of equipment. The 230 V voltage specification details the electrical supply needed.

Cleaning of the cast iron surfaces is aided by the included brush and the removable drain tray. The stainless steel body can be wiped clean. The catalogue places this product under Grills > Contact grill.
