Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

To preserve inductive heating efficiency, protect the seasoned mild steel surface, and maintain commercial hygiene:

1. Mild Steel Plate Seasoning & Initial Setup: Prior to first use, wash away the protective factory transit oil from the mild steel plate using warm water and a neutral commercial detergent. Dry completely, activate low induction heat (approx. 120°C), and apply a thin, even coat of high-smoke-point vegetable oil. Heat until light smoke appears, wipe clear with a lint-free cloth, and repeat 2 to 3 times to establish a non-stick seasoned layer.

2. Mid-Service Cleaning: Regularly clear caramelised food residues and excess fats into the perimeter drain channel using a flat commercial griddle scraper to avoid carbon charring on foods.

3. End-of-Shift Cleaning: At the close of service while the plate is moderately warm (approx. 100°C), apply warm water or a specialized commercial griddle cleaning liquid. Work across the surface using a griddle pad or scraper to release baked-on glazes. Never dump cold ice cubes or freezing water directly onto the hot plate, as thermal shock can crack internal mounting points or distort the mild steel bed.

4. Oil Catchment Tray Maintenance: Slide out the stainless steel oil collection tray daily. Dispose of collected waste cooking oils responsibly into a designated grease drum, then wash the tray in a commercial pot-wash sink with warm water and a neutral degreaser.

5. Nightly Anti-Oxidisation Coating: After cleaning and drying the mild steel surface, wipe a thin layer of clean vegetable oil across the entire plate. This protects the steel from ambient kitchen humidity and prevents overnight surface rust.

6. Stainless Steel Body & Air Filter Care: Wipe down the splashback, front fascia, rotary knob, and open lower storage compartment with a damp microfibre cloth. Inspect the base induction air intake grilles regularly and remove any dust or lint with a dry brush or vacuum to maintain airflow across internal induction generators.

Commercial Electrical Installation & Placement Guidelines

The Electmax EGP7-800 is a high-capacity three-phase electrical appliance requiring certified commercial installation:

1. Mandatory Hardwired 415V Installation: This unit operates on a 415V three-phase neutral (3~N) 10kW electrical supply and is supplied without a plug. It must be permanently hardwired to an appropriately rated commercial isolator switch by a licensed electrician in strict compliance with AS/NZS 3000 electrical standards.

2. Ventilation Requirements: While induction cooking emits virtually no ambient waste heat compared to gas burners, searing proteins still generates grease-laden smoke, steam, and oil aerosols. The unit must be positioned beneath a commercial kitchen exhaust extraction hood compliant with AS 1668.2.

3. Clearances & Airflow: Allow a minimum clearance of at least 100 mm at the rear and base of the cabinet to ensure unrestricted intake and discharge of cooling air for the internal induction coil cooling fans.

4. Level Positioning: Ensure the unit is installed on a flat, solid, level floor. Adjust the levelling base so that cooking oils flow naturally into the collection gutter and do not pool at one corner of the plate.

Freight & Delivery Notice

Due to the unit's freestanding format, crated dimensions, and three-phase componentry, deliveries to residential or non-commercial addresses require a customised tail-lift freight quote. Please contact our commercial sales team prior to placing your order to obtain a tailored freight quote, verify doorway clearances (minimum 800 mm clear opening recommended), or discuss site access details.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the operational advantages of an induction griddle over a traditional electric or gas griddle?

Induction griddles use electromagnetic energy to heat the mild steel plate directly, resulting in up to 90% energy efficiency (compared to 40–50% for gas). This means almost zero ambient heat is radiated into the kitchen, dramatically reducing staff fatigue and cutting air conditioning costs. Furthermore, induction provides instant thermal recovery when cold food hits the plate, eliminating temperature drops and reducing ticket wait times.

Can the Electmax EGP7-800 be plugged into a standard power point?

No. Delivering 10kW of commercial heating power, this unit requires a 415V three-phase electrical connection (3~N) and must be permanently hardwired by a licensed electrician. It does not come with a standard domestic 10A or commercial 15A single-phase plug.

Why is mild steel used for the cooking plate rather than stainless steel?

Mild steel is the industry benchmark for commercial griddles because it has significantly higher thermal conductivity than stainless steel, allowing heat to spread evenly across the 800mm surface without hot or cold patches. When properly seasoned with oil, mild steel develops a natural non-stick patina that releases burgers, eggs, and pancakes cleanly without sticking.

How does the electronic overheating protection function?

Internal thermal sensors continuously monitor the temperatures of both the induction coils and the bottom of the steel plate. If the plate is left on high heat dry for extended periods or if air vents become obstructed, the system automatically shuts off or throttles the induction generators to prevent component damage and eliminate fire hazards.

How do I activate the 2-year warranty coverage?

The Electmax EGP7-800 comes standard with a 1-Year commercial parts and labour warranty. Venue operators who register their equipment purchase online with the manufacturer within 14 days of the original invoice date receive an additional 1-Year parts-only warranty extension, giving 2 years of comprehensive commercial protection.
