Accelerate service times, achieve flawless caramelisation, and keep finished dishes piping hot with the Apuro HX584-A Rise and Fall Salamander Grill. Purpose-built for busy commercial kitchens, steakhouses, bistros, cafes, and catering operations, this high-performance overhead broiler pairs powerful 2.8kW heating elements with smooth height adjustability for rapid grilling, melting, and gratinating.
Smooth Counterbalanced Rise and Fall Mechanism
Take total control over heat intensity with the Apuro HX584-A's effortless rise and fall hood. The counterbalanced upper element section glides smoothly from 43 mm to 195 mm above the cooking grate. Lower the hood close to dishes for high-speed cheese melting on parmigianas, blistering nachos, or caramelising gratins, or raise it to gently toast buns, finish steaks, or hold plated meals at serving temperature.
Powerful 2.8kW Element & Precise Thermostatic Control
Equipped with a robust 2.8kW commercial-grade heating element, the HX584-A delivers rapid heat-up times and consistent radiant warmth across the entire grilling deck. An intuitive, front-mounted dial thermostat allows chefs to regulate operating temperatures accurately up to 300°C. Integrated overheat safety protection safeguards heating circuits during non-stop peak service periods.
Durable Commercial Stainless Steel Construction
Constructed entirely from premium food-grade stainless steel, the Apuro HX584-A is engineered to endure the physical and thermal demands of high-volume kitchen lines. The smooth, flat metal surfaces, removable crumb tray, and open-sided design prevent grease accumulation and streamline end-of-shift sanitisation.

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation
To prevent grease fires, stop carbon accumulation, and maintain heating element efficiency:
-
Power Down & Cool Off: At the end of trade, switch off the thermostat dial, disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply, and allow the upper hood, grilling rack, and chassis to cool to a safe handling temperature (under 40°C).
-
Crumb Tray & Rack Washdown: Slide out the removable lower waste tray and stainless steel cooking grid. Wash both thoroughly in a commercial pot-wash sink using warm water and a neutral commercial kitchen degreaser. Rinse with fresh water and dry completely before reinserting.
-
Internal & External Casing Wipe Down: Wipe down the stainless steel hood, side uprights, and exterior body using a soft microfibre cloth dampened with warm water and a mild, food-safe neutral detergent. Buff dry with a clean cloth to prevent water spotting and chemical etching.
-
Heating Element Care: Allow the overhead heating elements to cool completely before gently wiping away grease splatters with a dry or lightly dampened non-abrasive microfibre cloth. Never use steel wool, wire scourers, caustic oven cleaners, or abrasive powders on the elements or polished stainless casing.
-
Electrical Safety: Never submerge the appliance in water, and never spray the salamander with a high-pressure commercial pre-rinse hose or dishwashing spray gun.
Benchtop Placement & Electrical Guidelines
The Apuro HX584-A is designed for countertop or shelf mounting across commercial cooklines and pass-through stations:
-
Electrical Connection & Circuit Requirements: Drawing 2.8kW (approx. 12.2 Amps at 230V), the Apuro HX584-A requires a dedicated, correctly rated commercial single-phase circuit (typically a dedicated 15A outlet or equivalent commercial supply connection). Ensure the electrical circuit can handle the continuous load without tripping safety breakers. Avoid using extension leads or multi-plug power boards.
-
Stable, Heat-Resistant Countertop: Position the unit on a flat, level, sturdy, and non-combustible commercial stainless steel workbench or heavy-duty salamander wall shelf capable of bearing the machine's operational weight. Ensure all rubber feet make full, flat contact with the surface.
-
Thermal Clearances & Heat Dissipation: Because salamander grills generate substantial radiant heat, maintain a minimum clearance of at least 150 mm at the rear and sides, and ensure adequate overhead clearance above the raised hood. Keep flammable materials, order dockets, plastic service containers, and packaging well clear of the hot cooking perimeter.
-
Commercial Kitchen Ventilation: Operate the salamander grill under a compliant commercial kitchen exhaust hood (in accordance with AS 1668.2) to safely extract cooking smoke, heat, and grease-laden vapours.

Frequently Asked Questions
What electrical outlet does the Apuro HX584-A require?
The Apuro HX584-A has a powerful 2.8kW element that draws approximately 12.2 Amps at 230V. Because its electrical load exceeds a standard 10A socket limit, it requires a dedicated single-phase commercial connection (typically a 15 Amp socket or dedicated circuit) to operate safely without tripping breakers.
How does the rise and fall hood benefit busy kitchen service?
The smooth counterbalanced hood allows kitchen staff to adjust the distance between the heating elements and the food from 43 mm to 195 mm in a single motion. This gives instant heat control—drop the hood low for flash browning, or raise it high to melt cheese or hold plated meals without scorching.
Can I load wide platters or gastronorm pans into this grill?
Yes. With an external width of 450 mm and an open-sided profile, the unit easily accommodates standard commercial sizzle platters, round ceramic plates, and fractional gastronorm pans, allowing swift loading and unloading from multiple angles.
Does this salamander grill have overheat safety protection?
Yes. The Apuro HX584-A is fitted with an automatic thermal safety cut-out. If the internal components reach excessive temperatures, the safety cut-out activates to protect the heating elements and internal wiring from heat damage.
Can this unit be wall-mounted?
While designed primarily as a sturdy benchtop unit, it can be mounted on a heavy-duty, purpose-built commercial stainless steel salamander wall bracket or over-shelf, provided weight ratings, thermal clearances, and ventilation requirements are strictly adhered to.
