Gasmax RGT-24E 610mm Commercial Natural Gas 2-Burner Griddle Top 56MJ/h | 20mm Plate

[GASMAX_MSG]

The Gasmax RGT-24E Commercial Benchtop Natural Gas 2-Burner Griddle Top (610mm Wide, 56MJ/h) is an ultra-heavy-duty commercial flat-top cooking appliance engineered specifically for Australian commercial restaurant kitchens, busy café breakfast stations, burger lounges, steakhouse lines, and catering facilities operating on reticulated mains gas. Measuring 610 mm Wide x 850 mm Deep x 420 mm High with a substantial 90 kg net chassis weight, this 24-inch cooking platform provides an expansive, high-thermal frying deck designed to maintain continuous searing performance across demanding service rushes.

Powered by two heavy-duty commercial burners (rated at 29.52MJ/h each for an efficient 56MJ/h rated consumption and up to 60.4MJ/h total capacity), the RGT-24E offers dual-zone independent temperature control. Line chefs can independently regulate each 300mm section across the 600mm width—searing thick-cut steaks and smash patties at high heat on one zone while gently holding pre-cooked proteins, frying eggs, or caramelising onions on the other. Built with an extra-thick 20mm heavy-duty machined mild steel plate, a food-grade commercial stainless steel chassis, push-button auto-ignition, independent thermocouple flame failure shut-off devices, a slide-out stainless steel drip drawer, and seamless integration with the matching QR-24-SEN stand (sold separately), this unit delivers uncompromising commercial frying performance shift after shift.

Why Australian commercial kitchens, bistros, and burger bars choose the Gasmax RGT-24E:

• Heavy-duty 20mm mild steel griddle plate: The thick 20mm machined steel surface provides exceptional thermal mass, storing deep heat energy to eliminate hot and cold spots and preventing plate temperature drops when loading cold meats or frozen patties.

• Efficient 56MJ/h natural gas performance: Dual high-performance 29.52MJ/h burners deliver fast preheating and rapid thermal recovery across back-to-back cooking cycles.

• Auto-ignition with flame failure safety: Features reliable push-button auto-ignition for quick, matchless pilot startup, backed by independent thermocouple flame failure safety shut-off valves across both burners for complete workplace safety.

• Heavy-duty commercial stainless steel construction: Food-grade stainless steel front fascia, side panels, and integrated splash guards resist corrosive marinades, continuous cooking oils, and heavy daily kitchen wear.

• Slide-out stainless steel drip drawer: A full-width front grease drainage chute channels excess cooking fat, meat juices, and food scraps directly into a slide-out stainless steel drip drawer for clean, hygienic disposal.

• Modular stand integration (QR-24-SEN): Designed to mount directly onto the optional purpose-built Gasmax QR-24-SEN stainless steel equipment stand with solid undershelf (sold separately) to form a unified, ergonomic freestanding cooking station.

• Sturdy 45mm height-adjustable feet: Threaded commercial levelling legs provide up to 45 mm of vertical travel, ensuring rock-solid stability, bench clearance for drip tray removal, and precise alignment on uneven kitchen counters.

• Standard 3/4-inch rear gas connection: Engineered with an industrial 3/4" rear gas inlet to ensure stable, high-volume fuel flow during maximum dual-burner operation.

• Up to 4-year commercial warranty coverage: Protected 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.

Technical Specifications

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

To protect the 20mm mild steel plate, maintain non-stick seasoning, and comply with commercial food safety hygiene standards:

1. Plate Cleaning & Re-Seasoning: At the close of each service shift while the griddle plate is still warm (approx. 100°C–120°C), scrape food carbon and residual oil forward into the grease chute using a commercial flat griddle scraper. Apply a light splash of clean water or grill oil and scour with a grill brick. Wipe dry with clean microfibre cloths, then immediately apply a light coat of food-grade vegetable oil over the entire surface to preserve the seasoning patina and prevent surface oxidation.

2. Drip Drawer Sanitisation: Pull out the lower stainless steel drip drawer once cooking fats have cooled to a safe handling temperature. Empty grease into an approved commercial disposal container. Wash the drawer in warm soapy water using a food-safe commercial degreaser, dry thoroughly, and reinsert.

3. Stainless Steel Body Care: Clean the front fascia, control knobs, and exterior panels using a soft microfibre cloth and a neutral stainless steel cleaner, wiping in the direction of the metal grain. Never use steel wool, carbon wire scouring pads, or harsh chlorine bleaches on external stainless steel skins.

4. Burner Port & Aeration Inspection: Periodically inspect burner ports beneath the plate to ensure they remain clear of grease drips or fallen debris. Clear any clogged flame ports gently with a brass wire brush to maintain a crisp, stable blue flame.

Commercial Gas Installation & Placement Guidelines

The Gasmax RGT-24E is a 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 match the appliance rating plate.

2. Benchtop Leg Clearance: When mounting directly on a commercial workbench, the included adjustable legs must be installed to ensure adequate clearance beneath the unit for proper airflow, thermal insulation, and unhindered sliding of the lower drip tray.

3. Gas Supply Line Sizing: Due to the 56MJ/h gas demand when running both burners simultaneously, supply pipework, gas meters, and isolation valves must be correctly sized to avoid pressure drops during peak service. A certified manual gas isolation valve must be installed upstream in an easily accessible location.

4. Mechanical Exhaust Canopy Requirements: Due to the grease vapours, heat, and combustion products generated during commercial griddling, this unit must be operated directly beneath an approved commercial mechanical exhaust hood complying with AS 1668.2 standards.

5. Combustible Clearances: Maintain mandatory safety clearances between the unit and surrounding walls (minimum 150 mm to non-combustible walls and 300 mm to combustible structures). Do not obstruct the rear exhaust flue vent.

6. Surface Levelling: Adjust the 45mm threaded feet so the griddle plate sits completely level across both horizontal axes, ensuring cooking oils drain smoothly into the grease collector rather than pooling across the food prep surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the cooking benefits of a 20mm thick griddle plate?

A 20mm thick machined mild steel plate acts as a thermal reservoir. When large batches of cold, refrigerated meat patties, bacon, or steaks are placed on the plate during peak service rushes, the plate does not suffer sudden temperature drops. This ensures immediate searing, seals in moisture, and keeps service cook times fast and consistent.

Can I run only one side of the griddle during quiet service?

Yes. With two independently controlled burners, you have full flexibility over your cookline. During quiet prep hours or between peak services, you can shut down one burner and operate only a single 300mm section, significantly cutting fuel consumption and lowering kitchen ambient heat.

What is the difference between this RGT-24E and the RGT-24ELPG?

The RGT-24E is factory-configured specifically for reticulated Natural Gas (mains gas). The RGT-24ELPG is the factory-calibrated equivalent engineered for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (bottled Propane/LPG). Ensure you select the model that matches your venue's existing gas infrastructure.

Is the equipment stand with undershelf included?

No. The RGT-24E is supplied as a modular benchtop appliance fitted with 45mm height-adjustable levelling feet. The matching purpose-built stainless steel stand (Gasmax QR-24-SEN) with a solid undershelf is sold separately; contact our team for bundle packages.

Why do the legs need to be installed if using the unit on a countertop?

The 45mm adjustable legs raise the chassis off the bench surface, providing essential under-body thermal ventilation and allowing the bottom stainless steel grease drawer to slide out freely without scraping the countertop.

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

This griddle 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 invoice date receive an additional 2-Year parts-only warranty extension, giving a total of 4 years of comprehensive commercial protection across Australia.
