Gasmax GGS-36LPG 1030mm Gas Griddle & Toaster with Cabinet | 19mm Plate

[GASMAX_MSG]

The Gasmax GGS-36LPG Commercial LPG Gas Griddle and Gas Toaster with Lower Storage Cabinet (1030mm Wide) is a multi-function cooking workstation engineered specifically for Australian cafes, breakfast diners, takeaway shops, roadhouse grills, burger bars, and commercial catering trailers operating on bottled Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Measuring 1030 mm Wide x 940 mm Deep x 1000 mm High and weighing a solid 178 kg, this dual-purpose cooking station combines a heavy-duty 19 mm thick machined mild-steel flat griddle plate on top with a spacious 8.25-inch (210 mm) high under-griddle salamander broiler toaster, supported by an enclosed double-door stainless steel storage cupboard below. Powered by five independent cast-iron burners delivering a combined 77.5 Mj/h, the GGS-36LPG allows chefs to sear steaks, smash burger patties, fry eggs, and grill bacon on the griddle plate while simultaneously melting cheese, toasting buns, and crisping sourdough in the broiler chamber beneath.

Why Australian commercial hospitality and breakfast venues choose the Gasmax GGS-36LPG:

• Heavy-duty 19mm machined mild-steel griddle plate — dense 19mm steel plate ensures exceptional thermal mass and even heat retention across the entire 1-metre surface, preventing rapid surface temperature drops when cold steaks, patties, or eggs are loaded.

• Integrated 8.25-inch lower toaster broiler — spacious 210mm under-griddle broiler cavity features a sliding wire rack mechanism, allowing kitchen staff to toast bread, brown open-faced sandwiches, melt burger cheese, and flash-grill without taking up extra horizontal counter space.

• Multi-zone independent burner control (5 heat dials) — five heavy-duty cast-iron burners deliver 14.8 Mj/h each (77.5 Mj/h total), allowing kitchen operators to run high-heat searing zones alongside gentler low-heat holding areas on the same plate.

• Certified flame failure safety devices — every individual burner is protected by a dedicated thermoelectric flame failure safety valve that automatically isolates the LPG supply if a flame is accidentally blown out.

• Integrated double-door storage cabinet — fully enclosed stainless steel base cupboard with dual hinged doors and heat-resistant Bakelite handles provides protected under-bench storage for bulk cooking oils, squeeze bottles, burger wrappers, and takeaway packaging.

• Push-button piezo ignition & continuous pilot — simple push-button piezo system ignites the standing pilot quickly, ensuring hassle-free morning start-ups and uninterrupted service reliability.

• Efficient grease and crumb management — equipped with a wide griddle perimeter grease trough leading into a large-capacity removable grease collector, paired with a slide-out stainless steel crumb tray with an angled front handle for the broiler zone.

• Robust welded frame with adjustable levelling legs — rigid welded internal sub-frame provides structural stability under heavy cooking loads, supported by height-adjustable stainless steel legs to ensure a level plate on uneven kitchen floors.

• Commercial stainless steel front with galvanised sides — polished food-grade stainless steel front fascia and cabinet doors resist grease splatter and corrosion, complemented by heavy-gauge galvanised side panels for long-lasting structural strength.

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

Technical Specifications

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

1. Griddle Plate Seasoning & Care: Before first use, season the 19mm mild steel plate with a thin layer of high-smoke-point cooking oil, heating it gradually until a golden, non-stick patina forms. At the end of each shift, scrape excess fat and food debris into the grease trough using a heavy-duty commercial griddle scraper. Apply a light film of clean vegetable oil over the warm surface to protect against surface oxidisation and rust.

2. Grease Collector & Crumb Tray Emptying: Slide out the large grease box and the lower broiler crumb tray at the end of each service. Scrape out solidified fats, char, and breadcrumbs, then wash both trays in a commercial pot-wash sink using warm water and an approved commercial degreaser.

3. Broiler Rack Sanitisation: Pull the sliding toaster rack out completely to clean. Scrub away carbonised cheese and sauce drippings using a stiff brass-bristle brush, wash in warm soapy water, dry thoroughly, and reinsert.

4. Stainless Steel Cabinet & Front Care: Wipe down the front control fascia, cabinet doors, and Bakelite handles daily with warm soapy water and a soft microfibre cloth, rubbing in the direction of the stainless steel grain. Avoid spraying cold water directly onto the hot 19mm griddle plate to prevent thermal shock and plate warping.

5. Burner & Air Intake Inspection: Inspect burner ports and air shutter screens monthly to verify they are free of grease, dust, or spider webs, ensuring clean blue flames and efficient gas combustion.

Gas Installation, Ventilation & Commissioning Notice

The Gasmax GGS-36LPG is a heavy-duty commercial gas cooking appliance requiring certified installation:

1. Licensed Gas Fitter Commissioning: The unit must be installed, pressure-tested, and commissioned by an authorised, licensed gas fitter in strict compliance with current AS/NZS 5601 gas installation regulations, local council health bylaws, and manufacturer specifications. An official gas compliance certificate must be retained to validate warranty coverage.

2. Gas Supply Line & Sizing: Calibrated for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and fitted with a 3/4" NPT rear gas connection. Because the appliance draws 77.5 Mj/h across five burners, ensure LPG bottle manifolds, regulators, and flexible gas hoses are sized adequately to maintain rated working pressure without pressure drops during full kitchen operation.

3. Exhaust Extraction Requirements: Generating substantial radiant heat, rendered fats, cooking vapours, and combustion products, this unit must be operated directly beneath an approved commercial kitchen exhaust extraction hood compliant with AS 1668.2.

4. Clearances & Floor Placement: Maintain minimum clearances of at least 150 mm from combustible walls and surfaces, or 50 mm from non-combustible partitions. Position the unit on a flat, non-combustible commercial kitchen floor and adjust the heavy-duty legs until the griddle surface is completely level.

Freight & Delivery Notice

Standard commercial freight delivery is available Australia-wide to commercial business addresses with level ground access or loading docks. Due to the unit's substantial 178 kg net weight, 1030 mm width, and palletised crated dimensions, deliveries to residential or non-commercial addresses require a customised tail-lift freight quote. Please contact our friendly commercial sales team prior to placing your order to verify site access, delivery doorway clearances (minimum 980 mm clear opening required), and unloading logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the operational advantages of a 19mm griddle plate compared to thinner plates?

Thinner steel griddle plates (e.g., 10mm–12mm) lose heat rapidly when cold food is placed on them, causing meat to stew in its own juices rather than sear. The 19mm heavy-duty mild steel plate on the GGS-36LPG provides immense thermal mass, maintaining steady, blistering surface temperatures even when loaded with cold burger patties, steaks, or frozen hash browns, resulting in a superior sear and faster ticket times.

Can the griddle and lower toaster broiler be used at the same time?

Yes. The five 14.8 Mj/h cast-iron burners sit directly between the griddle plate and the lower broiler cavity. As heat radiates upwards to heat the 19mm steel plate, intense downward radiant heat warms the 8.25-inch broiler zone below. This allows chefs to grill burger patties on top while simultaneously melting cheese on buns in the toaster compartment underneath.

What are the benefits of five independent burner controls on a 1-metre plate?

Having five separate heat control dials allows operators to establish different temperature zones across the 1030mm cooking surface. You can run two burners on high for searing meats, two burners on medium for cooking eggs and pancakes, and keep the fifth burner on low to hold cooked items at temperature without burning.

What is stored in the lower cabinet?

The lower double-door stainless steel cabinet provides valuable enclosed under-bench storage. It is ideal for storing squeeze bottles, burger wrappers, greaseproof paper, salt shakers, tongs, and spare takeaway boxes right at the cookline without taking up external shelf space.

How do I activate the 4-year warranty coverage?

The Gasmax GGS-36LPG comes standard with a 2-Year commercial parts and labour warranty. Kitchen operators who register their purchase online with the manufacturer within 14 days of the original invoice date receive an additional 2-Year parts-only warranty extension, providing up to 4 years of comprehensive commercial protection across Australia.
