80cm Gas Smooth and Ribbed Griddle – 14kW from Mareno

80cm Gas Smooth and Ribbed Griddle

The 80cm gas smooth and ribbed griddle combines two cooking-surface styles within one commercial countertop appliance.

Two-thirds of the plate is smooth and one-third is ribbed, allowing restaurants, hotels, cafés, central kitchens and fast-food operations to prepare different menu items on the same unit.

The griddle is manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel and operates on LPG at the stated G30/50mbar gas pressure. It has two cooking zones, a total gas power of 14kW and an adjustable cooking range from 90°C to 280°C.

Mixed Smooth and Ribbed Surface

The Mareno gas mixed griddle provides:

• A two-thirds smooth cooking section.
• A one-third ribbed cooking section.

This configuration supports both flat-top cooking and ribbed grilling without requiring separate appliances.

Smooth Surface Applications

The smooth section can be used for:

• Burgers and meat portions.
• Eggs and breakfast products.
• Chicken fillets.
• Sautéed vegetables.
• Hot sandwiches.
• Selected fish products.
• Food requiring full contact with the hotplate.

Ribbed Surface Applications

The ribbed section can be used for:

• Steaks and sliced meats.
• Chicken breasts.
• Burgers.
• Grilled vegetables.
• Panini and sandwiches.
• Products requiring visible grill marks.

The raised ribs can produce grilled lines according to the selected temperature, cooking time and food type.

2/3 Smooth and 1/3 Ribbed Layout

The 2/3 smooth 1/3 ribbed gas griddle provides a larger flat cooking section while retaining a ribbed area for selected grilled products.

This layout is suitable for kitchens that prepare most menu items on a flat plate but also require a ribbed surface for meat, chicken or sandwiches.

It allows two cooking methods to be integrated into one compact commercial unit.

735×700mm Cooking Surface

The hotplate measures 735mm wide and 700mm deep, providing space for several portions to be prepared simultaneously.

Food can be organised between the smooth and ribbed sections according to its cooking method, while suitable food-safety and cross-contamination controls should be followed.

Cooking Surface Benefits

The surface supports:

• Simultaneous preparation of several portions.
• Two different cooking-surface styles.
• Separation of products by cooking method.
• High-volume service periods.
• Reduced need for separate appliances.
• Better organisation of cooking workflows.

Two Cooking Zones

The 14kW two zone griddle includes two cooking zones, allowing the hotplate to be organised according to production requirements.

The zones may be used to distribute different products or operate the required section of the cooking surface according to the available appliance controls and manufacturer instructions.

This configuration supports flexible operation during both lower-demand periods and busy restaurant service.

Sloping Hotplate

The cooking surface has a sloping hotplate that helps direct grease and cooking liquids away from the main working area.

This design reduces the accumulation of liquids on the plate and supports organised removal of grease during cleaning and daily operation.

Hotplate Recessed by 40mm

The hotplate is recessed 40mm below the surrounding worktop.

This creates a raised perimeter around the cooking area, helping contain grease and liquid generated during use.

The recessed layout also helps limit cooking residue from spreading to the surrounding counter area.

Manual Temperature Control

The cooking temperature can be manually adjusted from 90°C to 280°C.

This range supports warming, cooking, browning, searing and ribbed grilling according to the food product and required result.

Temperature Control Benefits

• Adjustable heat for different foods.
• Lower settings for warming or gentle cooking.
• Higher settings for browning and grilling.
• Better control across cooking stages.
• Support for a varied commercial menu.
• Flexible use of the two cooking zones.

Thermostatic Gas Valve

The gas supply is controlled by a thermostatic valve equipped with a safety thermocouple.

The thermostatic valve regulates gas flow according to the selected temperature, while the thermocouple monitors the flame and helps stop gas flow if the flame is extinguished.

Pilot Flame and Safety Thermocouple

The commercial combination gas grill includes a pilot flame and a safety thermocouple.

The pilot supports burner ignition, while the thermocouple provides flame-failure protection for professional kitchen operation.

Installation, pressure testing and maintenance should be completed by a qualified gas technician.

LPG Operation

The restaurant gas griddle top is designed to operate on LPG at the stated G30/50mbar pressure.

A compatible gas regulator, supply line and ventilation system must be provided. The installation should be checked for gas leaks before the unit is operated.

The appliance should not be converted to another gas type or pressure unless permitted by the manufacturer and completed by an authorised technician.

AISI 304 Stainless Steel Construction

The appliance is manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel for use in professional food-service environments.

Its smooth outer surfaces support routine wiping and cleaning, while the stainless steel finish coordinates with other commercial cooking and preparation equipment.

Countertop Commercial Design

The appliance is designed for placement on a suitable commercial counter or supporting base.

Its overall dimensions are:

• Width: 80cm.
• Depth: 92cm.
• Height: 25cm.

The support must be level, stable and capable of carrying the unit’s 121kg weight and operating load.
