• Precision Thermostatic Heat Control (100°C to 300°C): Accurate thermostat valve ensures consistent griddle surface temperatures across the entire plate for perfect searing and grilling.

• 1.5mm AISI-304 Stainless Steel Stamped Top: Seamless, laser-cut top deck with rounded corners and hidden screws eliminates grime traps and offers IPX5 water ingress protection.

• Off-Grid Electronic Spark Ignition: Battery-powered spark ignition eliminates the need for a 240V power cord connection while maintaining quick, reliable burner lighting.

• Forward-Tilted Plate & 2L Removable Grease Drawer: Griddle surface slopes forward to direct fat and cooking liquids into a large-capacity removable front drip tray.

• Includes Specialized Chrome Scraper: Supplied standard with Fagor's custom Kore Generation 1 fry-top scraper (Part #19045083) to protect the 50-micron chrome surface during cleaning.

Technical Specifications

Gas Installation & Commissioning Notice: Under Australian law, all commercial gas equipment must be installed and commissioned by a qualified, licensed gas plumber. Proof of licensed gas installation is required to validate manufacturer warranty coverage.

Delivery & Freight Notice: Commercial cooking equipment requires dedicated freight handling. Please contact our friendly sales team for a custom freight quote if delivery is required for a residential or non-commercial address.

Operating & Cleaning Guidelines

1. Setup & Ignition: Ensure a licensed gas fitter connects the Natural Gas supply line and completes official commissioning. Insert the ignition battery, depress the control knob, and activate the electronic spark igniter to light the gas burner.

2. Pre-Heating & Cooking: Set the thermostat dial to your required cooking temperature (100°C–300°C). Allow the 15 mm chrome plate to pre-heat for 12 to 15 minutes until the indicator light cycles off. Cook burgers, eggs, pancakes, or steaks directly on the smooth chrome surface.

3. Daily Hygiene & Chrome Care: At the end of service, turn off the gas burner. While the plate is warm (around 120°C), pour a small amount of warm water or ice onto the surface and gently scrape food residues towards the front drain hole using the supplied Fagor chrome scraper (19045083). Never use abrasive wire scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh acids on a 50-micron chrome surface. Empty and wash the 2-litre grease drawer.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the main benefits of a chrome griddle surface compared to raw mild steel?

A 50-micron chrome surface non-porously seals the steel plate. This prevents flavor cross-contamination between different foods (e.g., cooking fish and pancakes on the same plate after a quick wipe), reflects heat back into the food to reduce energy usage, and requires significantly less oil and cleaning effort.

2. Does the Fagor Kore FT-G705CL require an electrical power point?

No. The electronic spark igniter is battery-powered, meaning the gas griddle requires no 240V electrical connection or wall plug for operation.

3. Can I use standard metal spatulas on this chrome griddle?

Yes, but spatulas should have rounded corners to avoid gouging. For heavy scraping, always use the included Fagor Kore fry-top scraper (19045083) designed specifically to preserve the mirror-chrome finish.

4. Is an anti-splash guard available for this model?

Yes. Easy-to-remove stainless steel side and rear anti-splash guards are available as optional accessories to keep surrounding counter walls clean.

5. What warranty covers the Fagor FT-G705CL?

This Spanish-made commercial gas griddle comes standard with a 2-year parts and labour warranty, which extends by an additional 2 years for parts only when registered online within 14 days of invoice.
