Gasmax REB-02ELPG Heavy Duty LPG Salamander 914mm | Infrared 42Mj

[GASMAX_MSG]

The Gasmax REB-02ELPG Heavy-Duty Commercial LPG Gas Salamander (914mm Wide) is a high-intensity overhead broiling, gratiner, and finishing station engineered specifically for busy Australian steakhouses, seafood restaurants, Italian bistros, pub kitchens, hotel banquet passes, and commercial food trucks operating on bottled Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Measuring 914 mm Wide x 522 mm Deep x 580 mm High and weighing a solid 65 kg, this heavy-duty commercial salamander features three independent ceramic infrared overhead burners delivering a concentrated combined heat output of 42 Mj/h. Outfitted with an expansive 630 mm x 400 mm grilling area inside a spacious 680 mm x 410 mm x 395 mm stainless steel cooking cavity, the REB-02ELPG delivers radiant heat transfer to melt cheeses, caramelise glazes, flash-sear seafood, and finish steaks rapidly without drying out delicate core proteins. Complete with independent rotary controls, an easy-adjust multi-position stainless steel rack, auto-ignition with protected pilot lights, full thermoelectric flame failure safety shut-off, and a 3/4" gas regulator connection, this overhead broiling suite is built for continuous commercial hospitality service.

Why Australian commercial kitchens and hospitality venues choose the Gasmax REB-02ELPG:

• Triple high-output ceramic infrared burners (42 Mj/h total) — three high-intensity ceramic infrared plaques project intense radiant downwards heat, searing steaks, crisping salmon skin, and blistering cheese in seconds without direct contact flames.

• Independent multi-zone rotary control — three heavy-duty front dials govern each ceramic burner independently, allowing chefs to run a single zone during quiet trade to conserve bottled LPG or engage the full 914mm width during peak service rushes.

• Expansive 630mm x 400mm grilling rack — generous commercial grilling area accommodates multiple large dinner plates, cast-iron skillets, or half-size gastronorm trays simultaneously to eliminate service pass bottlenecks.

• Smooth-glide multi-position adjustable rack — counterbalanced, multi-level stainless steel rack assembly allows rapid vertical height adjustment, letting chefs alternate between aggressive high-heat charring and gentle holding or melting with a single movement.

• Full thermoelectric flame failure safety system — certified flame failure safety valves isolate the LPG supply immediately if a pilot or burner flame is extinguished by drafts or kitchen cross-ventilation.

• Auto-ignition and continuous pilot assembly — electronic auto-ignition lights pilot lights effortlessly, keeping burners on instant standby throughout service without burning excess fuel.

• Heavy-duty commercial stainless steel construction — robust food-grade stainless steel body, splashback, and internal cavity resist corrosive marinades, high radiant heat, grease splatters, and daily kitchen wear.

• Modular mounting versatility — can be mounted onto non-combustible commercial kitchen walls via heavy-duty brackets, positioned directly on a stainless steel benchtop, or paired with a matching Gasmax stainless steel stand (available separately).

• Extended 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 product registration within 14 days of invoice.

Technical Specifications

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

To preserve ceramic burner efficiency, slide-rack smooth action, and stainless steel hygiene:

1. End-of-Service Grilling Rack Cleaning: At the close of trade, slide out the stainless steel grilling grid and lower crumb/grease tray once the unit has cooled down. Soak in a commercial pot-wash sink with warm water and a neutral commercial degreaser. Scrub with a non-scratch nylon pad to remove carbonised fat and food residue.

2. Ceramic Infrared Burner Care: Never spray water, chemical degreasers, or cleaning solutions directly onto the porous overhead ceramic infrared plaques. Liquid contact will damage or fracture the ceramic tiles and clog the micro-aeration ports. The high operating surface temperature of the infrared plaques naturally burns off grease and food splatters during service.

3. Crumb & Drip Tray Maintenance: Empty and clean the bottom slide-out grease catchment tray daily. Allowing fat and oils to accumulate in the drip tray beneath high-heat infrared burners creates an avoidable flash-fire hazard.

4. Stainless Steel Body & Cavity Care: Wipe down the internal stainless steel cavity walls, exterior panels, and control fascia daily using a soft microfibre cloth dampened with warm water and a mild food-safe sanitiser. Always wipe in the direction of the brushed metal grain.

5. Pilot & Valve Inspection: Ensure pilot burner ports and spark ignition pins remain free of carbon crusting, grease buildup, or dust, guaranteeing fast, reliable lighting on subsequent service shifts.

Gas Installation, Ventilation & Commissioning Notice

The Gasmax REB-02ELPG is a commercial gas appliance requiring certified trade 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 universal Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and fitted with a 3/4" rear gas connection located 30 mm from the right-hand rear underneath the unit. Ensure incoming LPG supply lines, bottle manifolds, and pigtail regulators deliver rated operating pressure without pressure drops when running alongside other commercial cookline equipment.

3. Exhaust Extraction Requirements: Because the salamander generates substantial radiant heat, grease-laden vapours, and combustion gases, it must be operated directly beneath an approved commercial kitchen exhaust extraction hood compliant with AS 1668.2.

4. Wall Mounting & Clearances: When wall-mounting, ensure heavy-duty stainless steel wall brackets are securely anchored into structural studs or non-combustible masonry walls. Maintain a minimum clearance of at least 150 mm from any combustible materials and 50 mm from non-combustible walls.

Freight & Delivery Notice

Standard commercial road freight delivery is available Australia-wide to commercial business addresses with level ground access or loading docks. Due to the unit's substantial 65 kg net weight, 914 mm width, and palletised transit requirements, deliveries to residential or non-commercial addresses require a customised tail-lift freight quote. Please contact our friendly commercial sales team prior to ordering to verify site access, delivery doorway clearances, or to add a matching stainless steel stand to your consignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the operational advantages of ceramic infrared burners over standard tubular gas burners?

Ceramic infrared burners convert gas combustion energy into intense, directional radiant heat waves rather than relying on convection currents. This radiant energy penetrates and browns food surfaces directly, heating up to 50% faster than standard atmospheric gas pipe burners. This ensures rapid melting on cheese-topped parmigianas, quick blistered gratin crusts, and crisp finishes on grilled seafood without continuing to bake and overcook the centre of the dish.

Can each of the three burners be controlled independently?

Yes. The Gasmax REB-02ELPG features three independent heavy-duty gas control valves. During quiet afternoon prep or late-night service, kitchen staff can operate just one burner over a single section of the rack, cutting bottled LPG consumption while keeping the pass ready for finishing individual orders.

Can the REB-02ELPG be wall-mounted above a cookline?

Yes. The unit can be wall-mounted using optional commercial heavy-duty stainless steel wall-mounting brackets, positioned directly on a heat-resistant stainless steel workbench, or installed on the optional Gasmax matching floor stand. Wall mounting is particularly popular in Australian commercial kitchens as it keeps the salamander at eye level above the cookline without consuming valuable prep benchtop space.

How does the multi-position shelf assist with temperature control?

The stainless steel grilling shelf features an ergonomic, multi-tier height adjustment system with heat-insulated handles. Raising the shelf close to the overhead infrared plaques delivers intense flash-charring and searing heat (ideal for steaks and crème brûlée), while lowering the shelf allows gentle warming, cheese melting, and gratin finishing without the risk of scorching.

How do I activate the 4-year warranty coverage?

The Gasmax REB-02ELPG includes a standard 2-Year commercial parts and labour warranty. Venue 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.
