Gasmax REB-03E 914mm Commercial Natural Gas Salamander 42MJ/h | Ceramic Infrared

[GASMAX_MSG]

The Gasmax REB-03E Commercial Heavy-Duty Natural Gas Salamander is a premium overhead grilling, melting, and broiling solution engineered specifically for Australian commercial restaurant kitchens, busy café pass-through stations, steakhouses, pub bistros, and catering facilities operating on mains reticulated gas. Measuring 914 mm Wide x 522 mm Deep x 580 mm High with a substantial 70 kg chassis, this 900mm commercial salamander provides high thermal energy, rapid plate recovery, and precision finishing capacity for demanding lunch and dinner rushes.

Powered by three high-output ceramic infrared burners generating a combined heating capacity of 42MJ/h, the REB-03E emits intense radiant heat directly downward across a wide 630mm x 400mm grilling area. Infrared radiant heat penetrates cuts of meat, caramelises glaze crusts, melts gourmet cheeses over burgers, and sears delicate seafood without drying out interior moisture. Featuring a heavy-duty adjustable cast-iron cooking surface supported by a balanced, safe tray-lifting mechanism, full commercial food-grade stainless steel construction, and independent flame failure safety valves across all three burners, the Gasmax REB-03E delivers reliable commercial performance day in, day out.

Why Australian commercial kitchens, bistros, and steakhouses choose the Gasmax REB-03E:

• High-intensity ceramic infrared heating: Three heavy-duty ceramic plaque burners project focused, uniform radiant heat downward, caramelising sugars and searing proteins far faster than standard tube burners while using less gas.

• Versatile steak, seafood, and open-melt finishing: Ideal for flash-searing steaks, broiling lobster tails, browning potato gratins, melting cheese on nachos, and keeping plated orders warm before food pass collection.

• Multi-zone independent burner control: Three variable gas dials allow line chefs to operate single, double, or all three ceramic burners independently, reducing gas consumption during prep hours and preventing unnecessary kitchen heat loads.

• Heavy-duty cast-iron cooking grid: Includes a durable, heat-retaining cast-iron cooking surface that creates defined bar sear marks and withstands continuous heavy dish loading without warping.

• Smooth multi-position tray-lifting system: Counterbalanced, ergonomic shelf-lifting mechanism lets line cooks effortlessly raise or lower the cooking grid through multiple height notches for delicate slow warming or blistering high-heat broiling.

• Auto-ignition with flame failure safety: Built with dependable push-button auto-ignition and continuous pilot lighting, backed by independent thermocouple flame failure devices that automatically shut off the gas supply if a flame is extinguished.

• Commercial food-grade stainless steel build: Heavy-gauge stainless steel external casing, cavity lining, and drip pans resist high radiant temperatures, fat splatters, and continuous daily chemical sanitisation.

• Slide-out stainless steel waste tray: Integrated lower crumb and grease catchment drawer slides out smoothly for quick clearing of rendered fats, marinades, and loose breadcrumbs.

• Flexible cookline mounting options: Can be bench-mounted, wall-bracketed, or paired with an optional purpose-built matching stainless steel equipment stand (sold separately) to keep your kitchen pass clear.

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

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

To protect the ceramic infrared plaques, preserve internal stainless steel finishes, and ensure compliance with Australian commercial hygiene regulations:

1. Cast-Iron Cooking Grid Cleaning: At the close of each service shift, remove the cast-iron cooking grid. Scrape off remaining food residues using a commercial wire grill brush. Wash in warm soapy water, dry thoroughly, and apply a thin wipe of food-grade vegetable oil over the surface to prevent rust and maintain its seasoned finish.

2. Ceramic Plaque Protection: Ceramic infrared burners are porous and must never be sprayed directly with water, degreasers, or liquid detergents. Liquid ingress will crack ceramic tiles upon relighting. Clean infrared burners solely by burning off residues on high flame for 5 minutes at the end of the shift; gently brush loose soot away with a dry, soft-bristle brush once cold.

3. Crumb & Grease Tray Emptying: Slide out the lower stainless steel waste drawer once the unit has cooled. Empty grease, fats, and crumbs into an approved commercial disposal receptacle. Wash the drawer thoroughly in warm soapy water with a food-safe commercial degreaser, dry, and reinsert.

4. Stainless Steel Body & Cavity Care: Wipe down the internal stainless steel cavity walls, exterior casing, and control dials using a soft microfibre cloth dampened with warm water and a neutral stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe along the grain of the steel to prevent scratching the finish.

5. Lift Mechanism Inspection: Periodically inspect the side runner tracks and elevation handle mechanisms to ensure they operate smoothly and remain free of dried grease accumulation.

Commercial Gas Installation & Placement Guidelines

The Gasmax REB-03E is a 42MJ/h commercial gas cooking appliance requiring certified trade installation:

1. Mandatory Licensed Gas Fitter Installation: This appliance must be installed, commissioned, and pressure-tested by an Australian licensed gas fitter in strict compliance with AS/NZS 5601.1 (Gas Installations), local gas authority requirements, and relevant building codes. Operating natural gas pressure must be set using the supplied 3/4-inch regulator.

2. Gas Connection Location: The 3/4-inch gas inlet is located on the underside of the appliance, positioned 30mm inward from the right-side rear edge. Ensure gas piping or flexible commercial braided hoses are routed without sharp bends or kinks and do not contact hot exhaust panels.

3. Mechanical Exhaust Canopy Requirements: Generating 42MJ/h of radiant heat combined with grease fumes and combustion gases requires that this salamander be installed directly beneath an approved commercial mechanical exhaust canopy complying with AS 1668.2 standards.

4. Wall Clearance & Heat Shielding: If wall-mounting or placing on a bench against a splashback, ensure non-combustible clearances are maintained (minimum 150 mm from non-combustible walls and 300 mm from combustible structures). Do not obstruct the top venting slots.

5. Bench & Wall Levelling: Ensure the supporting shelf, wall-mounting bracket, or equipment stand is completely level across both horizontal axes to guarantee smooth sliding and locking of the counterbalanced cast-iron grid mechanism.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes ceramic infrared burners superior to standard tubular gas burners?

Ceramic infrared burners convert open gas flames into intense, direct radiant infrared energy. Instead of just heating the air around the food, infrared waves penetrate the surface of dishes directly. This delivers faster browning, superior crust formation on steaks and gratins, and quicker melting times while preventing delicate foods from drying out.

Can this salamander be mounted onto a kitchen wall?

Yes. The Gasmax REB-03E can be mounted onto a suitable load-bearing brick or non-combustible wall using heavy-duty commercial wall-mounting brackets rated to support its 70 kg chassis weight plus dish loads. It can also be bench-mounted or installed on its matching purpose-built stainless steel stand.

Can I run just one burner during quiet prep shifts?

Yes. The REB-03E is fitted with three separate rotary control valves. During quiet periods or between rushes, you can run a single 14MJ/h burner zone to toast bread or finish occasional orders, saving significant gas and keeping your kitchen environment cooler.

Can this unit be converted to run on LPG (Bottled Gas)?

This model (REB-03E) is factory-configured for reticulated Natural Gas at 42MJ/h. If your venue operates on bottled Propane/LPG, please contact our commercial sales team to source the dedicated LPG-configured model to ensure correct injector sizing and pressure calibration.

How do I qualify for the 4-year warranty coverage?

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