Overview

Waldorf CH8450G-B 800 Series 450mm Gas Chargrill Bench Model

The Waldorf CH8450G-B is a 450mm wide bench-model gas chargrill from the 800 Series, built in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel for long-term durability in demanding commercial kitchen environments. Powered by a single 304 stainless steel U-burner rated at 48 MJ/hr (13.3 kW), it delivers consistent, high-intensity radiant heat across the full cooking surface, producing authentic char marks on meats, seafood and vegetables service after service.

The chargrill's inclined cooking surface is purpose-designed to minimise flare-ups, with a grate fin design that channels grease away from the heat source and into a front collection trough for safer, cleaner operation. Reversible heavy-duty cast iron grates, lift-out radiants, burners and grease tray baffles make cleaning and routine servicing straightforward, while full pilot ignition and flame failure protection on the burner provide an important safety safeguard for busy kitchen teams.

Key Benefits

• Authentic char marks and edge-to-edge heat from a high-output 48 MJ/hr stainless steel U-burner, keeping cook times fast during peak service.
• Inclined grate design with fin channels directs grease into a front collection trough, significantly reducing flare-ups and improving cooking control.
• Reversible cast iron grates extend the usable life of the cooking surface and offer flexibility for different grilling requirements.
• Flame failure protection with a continuous pilot burner on each burner shuts off gas if the flame extinguishes, protecting staff and complying with commercial kitchen safety expectations.
• Lift-out radiants, burners and grease tray baffles allow thorough cleaning without tools, reducing downtime between shifts.
• Heavy-duty, heat-resistant reinforced control knobs withstand the rigours of a hot kitchen environment and provide precise variable high-low temperature adjustment.
• Compatible with both natural gas and LPG via a 3/4" BSP male connection, offering installation flexibility across a range of commercial sites.
• Bench-model footprint of just 450mm wide allows the unit to slot into compact kitchen layouts or be integrated into a modular Waldorf 800 Series line-up.
• Manufactured in New Zealand with a 24-month warranty, providing confidence in long-term build quality and after-sales support.
