Featuring a unique half-ribbed, half-flat cast iron plate configuration, this 2.9 kW double contact grill allows operators to toast paninis, focaccias, and wraps on the flat side while searing steaks, bacon, chicken, and burgers with attractive grill marks on the ribbed side simultaneously.

Equipped with dual independent dial temperature controls (100°C to 300°C), digital timers for each side, counter-balanced swivel top plates, and durable 430 stainless steel construction, the CU613-A delivers rapid thermal recovery, reduced queue times, and consistent results during peak trade.

Why Choose the Apuro CU613-A Double Contact Grill?

Choosing the Apuro CU613-A Half Ribbed Double Contact Grill provides commercial kitchens with a versatile, high-capacity cooking and toastie press setup that maximizes menu flexibility.

Key reasons commercial operators specify the Apuro CU613-A include:

• Dual Cooking Surfaces (Half Flat / Half Ribbed): Features smooth flat plates on the left for maximum heat transfer and uniform surface cooking, alongside ribbed plates on the right to channel grease away and add professional, eye-catching branding lines to meats and sandwiches.

• Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Plates: Commercial-grade cast iron construction retains maximum thermal energy, ensuring rapid heat recovery times between orders and lower power consumption during quiet shifts.

• Dual Independent Temperature Controls & Timers: Separate thermostat dials (100°C to 300°C) and digital countdown timers for each side allow staff to run different menu items at precise temperatures or turn off one side during off-peak trade to conserve electricity.

• Counter-Balanced Swivel Top Plates: Adjustable top plates rest evenly on thick gourmet sandwiches, steaks, or delicate tortillas without crushing the food, ensuring consistent heat penetration throughout.

• Mess-Free Grease Management: Built-in removable drip tray catches excess oils, fats, and food crumbs for fast, dishwasher-safe cleaning without moving the heavy grill unit.

• Supplied with Commercial Grill Scraper: Includes a heavy-duty scraper tool right out of the box to quickly clear carbonised residue and food debris from cast iron grooves between orders.

• Convenient Dual 10A Plug Setup: Powered by a total 2.9 kW output operating via two standard 10 Amp power leads, allowing easy plug-and-play setup using standard wall outlets on separate circuits without hardwiring.

Operating & Cleaning Guidelines

1. Electrical Connection: Plug each power cord into separate, dedicated 240V 10A wall circuits to ensure full 2.9 kW heating performance without overloading a single power circuit.

2. Seasoning Cast Iron: Before first use, heat plates to 200°C, apply a light coat of high-smoke-point vegetable oil with a cloth, and allow it to bake in to create a natural non-stick surface.

3. Daily Sanitisation: While the plates are still warm, use the supplied commercial grill scraper to clear food particles into the front drip tray. Empty and wash the drip tray with warm, food-safe soapy water, and wipe down the 430 stainless steel exterior with a microfibre cloth.
