Gasmax GGS-36 Commercial Gas Griddle & Toaster with Lower Storage Cabinet (915mm Wide, 75MJ/h)

[GASMAX_MSG]

The Gasmax GGS-36 Commercial Freestanding Gas Griddle and Gas Toaster with Cabinet is a heavy-duty, dual-function cooking powerhouse engineered specifically for Australian commercial restaurant kitchens, busy breakfast cafés, burger bars, takeaway diners, pub bistros, and high-volume catering venues. Measuring 915 mm Wide x 815 mm Deep x 970 mm High, this all-in-one cookline solution combines a thick, heat-retaining flat hotplate griddle with an under-griddle radiant gas toaster broiler and an enclosed double-door storage cabinet, delivering maximum production versatility in a compact 900mm station.

Equipped with five heavy-duty cast iron burners delivering a massive combined heating capacity of 75MJ/h (14.8MJ/h per burner), the GGS-36 features a thick 19mm commercial mild steel plate that prevents temperature drop during high-capacity batch cooking of steaks, bacon, eggs, and burger patties. Simultaneously, the lower 8.25-inch (210mm) high broiler cavity with its sliding wire rack allows line chefs to melt cheese, toast burger buns, caramelise open melts, and grill paninis using radiant heat that would otherwise be wasted. Built with food-grade stainless steel, flame failure safety protection, continuous pilots, and an enclosed double-door equipment cabinet base, the Gasmax GGS-36 delivers professional cooking speed and organised efficiency across demanding peak service shifts.

Why Australian commercial hospitality kitchens, cafés, and burger bars choose the Gasmax GGS-36:

• Enclosed double-door cabinet base: Converts under-equipment space into an organised, hygienic storage area for oil bottles, sauce pans, basting domes, and dry stock, keeping essential prep tools within arm's reach while maintaining clean floor visual lines.

• Independent burner control with flame failure: Five precision rotary gas dials feature individual flame failure safety valves and continuous pilots, cutting off gas immediately if a burner flame blows out.

• User-friendly piezo ignition: Equipped with reliable piezo push-button ignition for safe, fast, and effortless lighting of pilot burners without open lighters.

• Easy cleaning and grease management: Outfitted with an extra-large removable grease collection box and a front pull-out crumb tray with an angled Bakelite cool-touch handle for quick, safe end-of-shift sanitisation.

• Rugged commercial construction: Built with a fully welded internal frame, heavy-gauge stainless steel front fascia, galvanised side panels, and heavy-duty adjustable levelling legs for rock-solid stability during vigorous service.

• Up to 4-year commercial warranty: Backed by an Australian 2-Year parts and labour commercial warranty, extendable to an additional 2-Year parts-only warranty upon product registration within 14 days of invoice.

Technical Specifications

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

To protect the 19mm mild steel plate, ensure consistent toast browning, and uphold HACCP food hygiene standards:

1. Griddle Plate Seasoning & Cleaning: At the close of service while the plate is still warm (approx. 120°C–140°C), scrape off carbonised food residues into the grease chute using a commercial griddle scraper. Apply a light splash of clean water or commercial grill oil and scour with a grill brick or grill pad. Wipe completely dry with clean lint-free cloths, then wipe on a thin protective layer of food-grade vegetable oil across the entire steel plate to season the metal and prevent overnight surface oxidation.

2. Grease Collector Drawer Sanitisation: Slide out the large side grease collector box daily. Safely empty accumulated fats and oils into an approved grease recycling bin once cooled. Wash the container in warm soapy water using a commercial degreaser, rinse thoroughly, dry, and reseat.

3. Toaster Broiler Cavity & Crumb Tray: Pull out the front sliding crumb tray using the angled Bakelite cool-touch handle. Discard loose crumbs, bread flakes, and cheese drips. Wash the wire toaster rack and crumb tray in a commercial sink, dry thoroughly, and reinsert.

4. Stainless Steel Body & Cabinet Wipe-Down: Wipe the stainless steel front panel, control knobs, and cabinet doors along the grain of the steel using a soft microfibre cloth and a neutral stainless steel cleaner. Never use corrosive chlorine bleaches or wire wool on external panels.

5. Burner Port & Pilot Inspection: Periodically inspect cast iron burner ports and pilot tips underneath the plate to ensure they are free of fallen food carbon or grease clogs. Clear any clogged ports gently with a stiff brass wire brush to maintain a crisp, stable blue flame.

Commercial Gas Installation & Placement Guidelines

The Gasmax GGS-36 is a high-capacity 75MJ/h commercial gas appliance requiring certified trade installation:

1. Mandatory Licensed Gas Fitter Installation: This unit must be installed and commissioned by an Australian licensed gas fitter in strict compliance with AS/NZS 5601.1 (Gas Installations), local gas authority regulations, and relevant building codes. Ensure incoming gas supply pressure matches the appliance data plate.

2. Rear Gas Connection: The appliance features a standard 3/4-inch NPT female rear gas connection. An approved commercial gas regulator and manual emergency shut-off isolation valve must be fitted in an easily accessible location.

3. Mechanical Exhaust Canopy Requirements: Due to high radiant heat and heavy grease vapours generated during continuous griddling and toasting, this appliance must be installed directly beneath a compliant commercial mechanical exhaust hood complying with AS 1668.2 standards.

4. Combustible Clearances: Maintain minimum mandatory clearances between the appliance and any surrounding walls (minimum 150 mm from non-combustible walls and 300 mm from combustible structures). Do not block the rear flue exhaust.

5. Floor Levelling: Commercial floors often slope towards drainage waste lines. Adjust the heavy-duty levelling feet so the griddle plate sits completely level. A level plate ensures cooking fats flow evenly into the grease trough rather than pooling across food prep zones.

Freight, Delivery & Commercial Site Access Notice

Standard commercial road freight delivery is available Australia-wide to registered commercial business premises with level ground-floor access or dedicated loading dock/forklift facilities.

Please note: Due to the substantial commercial footprint and heavy 178 kg net weight of this appliance, deliveries to residential addresses, domestic sites, or premises requiring hydraulic tail-lift unloading require a specialised delivery quote. Please contact our friendly commercial sales team prior to purchasing to arrange tailored freight, verify clear doorway access dimensions (minimum 850 mm clear width recommended), and confirm your gas supply type (Natural Gas or LPG).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run the griddle and the toaster broiler at the same time?

Yes. The five cast iron burners heat the 19mm griddle plate from below while radiating heat downward into the 8.25-inch broiler cavity. This enables continuous, simultaneous production—searing burger patties, bacon, and steaks on the griddle plate while toasting buns or melting cheese on the sliding wire rack underneath.

What is the advantage of a 19mm thick griddle plate over a thinner steel plate?

A 19mm mild steel plate provides significant thermal mass. When cold, refrigerated, or semi-frozen meat portions are loaded onto the plate during a service rush, a thicker plate maintains its stored heat energy without suffering a temperature plunge. This ensures immediate searing, seals in moisture, and speeds up service cook times.

Is this unit available for both Natural Gas (NG) and Propane (LPG)?

Yes. The Gasmax GGS-36 can be specified for either Natural Gas or Propane (LPG) supply. Ensure you select or specify the correct gas type when requesting your quote so the appliance is factory-jetted or configured with the appropriate injectors and gas regulator.

Does this griddle feature safety flame failure protection?

Yes. Each of the five burners is fitted with an independent thermocouple flame failure device. If a burner flame is accidentally extinguished by kitchen draughts or liquid boil-over, the safety valve automatically shuts off the gas supply to that burner within seconds.

How do I activate the 4-year warranty coverage?

The unit includes an Australian 2-Year parts and labour commercial warranty as standard. Venue operators who register their equipment purchase online with the manufacturer within 14 days of the original invoice date receive an additional 2-Year parts-only warranty extension, providing a total of 4 years of comprehensive commercial protection across Australia.
