Why operators choose the Benchstar AT-938E:

• Multi-functional kitchen utility — serves as an all-in-one commercial salamander griller, open-face cheese melter, and high-capacity bun/bread toaster to boost kitchen line efficiency.

• Heavy-duty stainless steel tubular heater — high-grade stainless steel heating element delivers intense, evenly distributed radiant heat across the full grilling deck for fast, reliable browning.

• Infinite heat regulator with continuous mode — side-mounted infinite rotary control knob allows precise temperature adjustments or non-stop high-output grilling during peak service rushes.

• Multi-tier side rack supports — internal side runners provide flexible grid heights, allowing chefs to place items close to the element for fast melting or lower down for gentle reheating and toasting.

• Cool-to-touch Bakelite grid handles — heat-resistant Bakelite handles protect kitchen staff from burns during rapid shelf adjustments and plate retrieval.

• Easy-clean removable crumb tray — full-width slide-out stainless steel crumb and grease collector beneath the grilling zone captures stray food particles and drips for fast end-of-shift sanitisation.

• Robust commercial stainless steel build — heavy-duty stainless steel body resists corrosion, stands up to demanding commercial kitchen environments, and wipes down easily.

• Safe benchtop positioning — fitted with heavy-duty anti-slip rubber feet to ensure stable, shift-free operation on stainless steel prep tables and line benches.

• Standard 10A plug-and-play operation — powerful 2.2kW (2200W) heating output operating on standard Australian single-phase 240V power with a standard 10 Amp wall plug supplied.

Technical Specifications

Operating & Service Notice

This commercial salamander operates via radiant top heat and open-front airflow. Maintain at least 100mm of clear ventilation space around the sides and rear of the chassis to allow heat dissipation. Regularly pull out and empty the bottom stainless steel crumb tray during busy shifts to prevent fat build up or smoking. To clean, switch off and unplug the unit, allow the heating element and cavity to cool completely, and wipe down the stainless steel surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth and a mild commercial degreaser. Avoid spraying water or chemical cleaners directly onto the heating elements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What food items can I prepare in the Benchstar AT-938E?

The AT-938E is an all-round commercial griller ideal for melting cheese on burgers, nachos, open melts, parmigianas, and French onion soups. It also functions as a high-speed toaster for bruschetta, croissants, sourdough slices, and panini, as well as an overhead finishing grill for steaks and seafood gratins.

How does the infinite control switch work?

The infinite rotary switch regulates power input to the heating element in cycles, giving you total control from gentle holding heat to maximum continuous broiling output for uninterrupted rush-hour performance.

Can the height of the wire cooking grid be adjusted?

Yes. The interior chamber features integrated side rack runners at multiple heights, allowing you to position food closer to the stainless steel elements for rapid crusting or lower down for deeper, gentle through-heating.

How easy is it to keep the griller clean?

The unit features a smooth stainless steel body and an open cavity design. A slide-out stainless steel drip and crumb tray at the bottom catches fallen toppings, cheese drips, and breadcrumbs, sliding out smoothly for fast washing in a commercial sink.

What electrical outlet is required?

The unit draws 2.2kW (2200W / 9.2A) on standard 240V single-phase power and comes factory-fitted with an Australian 10 Amp single-phase plug, allowing direct plug-and-play installation into any standard 10A commercial wall socket without requiring a 15A circuit upgrade.
