Waldorf GPL8600E-B 800 Series - 600mm Electric Griddle Low Back Version – Bench Model

Waldorf GPL8600E-B 800 Series 600mm Electric Griddle Low Back Bench Model

The Waldorf GPL8600E-B is a 600mm electric griddle from the 800 Series, designed as a bench-mount model for high-volume commercial kitchens. Powered by 7.2kW heating elements and fitted with a 20mm thick machined griddle plate across a single temperature control zone, it delivers consistent, even heat for cooking breakfasts, burgers, seafood and more throughout a busy service.

Constructed from 304 stainless steel throughout, this griddle features top weld-sealed plates with overlapping front and rear edges for effortless cleaning, a stainless steel grease drawer, and a welded hob surround with a bull nose finish. Four heavy-duty adjustable bench legs with two additional rollers make positioning and relocation straightforward, while optional ribbed or chrome mirror plate configurations allow the unit to be tailored to specific menu requirements.

Key Benefits

• The 20mm thick machined griddle plate retains and distributes heat evenly across the entire cooking surface, reducing hot spots and improving food consistency.
• A single temperature control zone with a 50–300°C thermostat gives operators precise, responsive control over cooking temperatures for a wide variety of products.
• Top weld-sealed plates with overlapping edges at the front and rear minimise food and grease trapping, significantly reducing cleaning time between services.
• The stainless steel grease drawer collects drippings efficiently and slides out for quick emptying, supporting hygiene and reducing downtime.
• Adjustable bench legs with a height range of 80–105mm, combined with two additional rollers, allow the unit to be levelled precisely and repositioned with minimal effort.
• Large, heat-resistant reinforced control knobs with easy-view settings and separate power and heating indicator lights help kitchen staff monitor and adjust the griddle safely and accurately.
• Optional ribbed plate sections or mirror-finish hard chrome plates mean the same unit can be configured for different cooking styles, from searing proteins to delicate fish or pancakes.
• Bench-model format suits kitchens where under-counter space is needed elsewhere, and the compact 600mm width fits neatly into tight cooking lines.
