Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What type of electrical supply is required for the Benchstar GH-610E?

The GH-610E draws 6kW (6000W) on single-phase 240V power and requires a 25 Amp dedicated power connection. Hardwired installation by a qualified commercial electrician is recommended.

2. Why is a 12mm polished mild steel plate beneficial?

A 12mm thick mild steel plate offers superior thermal mass compared to thinner hotplates. It absorbs and retains heat effectively, preventing temperature drops when cold meat or large batches are placed on the cooking surface.

3. How do I maintain and season the mild steel plate?

Before first use, the mild steel plate should be seasoned with cooking oil. After service, scrape down food debris into the deep-drawn oil hole, wipe with a damp cloth, and apply a thin film of oil to protect the plate from moisture when not in use.

4. Can I cook different items at different temperatures at the same time?

Yes. The griddle features two independent control knobs and heating elements, allowing you to set one side to high heat for searing steaks or burgers while keeping the second side at a lower temperature for holding or cooking delicate items.
