Overview

Waldorf CH8450G-LS 800 Series 450mm Gas Chargrill with Leg Stand

The Waldorf CH8450G-LS is a 450mm wide gas chargrill from the Waldorf 800 Series, mounted on a leg stand for freestanding installation in commercial kitchens. Powered by a single 304 stainless steel U-burner rated at 48 MJ/hr (13.3 kW), it delivers intense, even heat across reversible heavy-duty cast iron grates, producing authentic char marks on meats, seafood and vegetables during high-volume service.

Engineered for durability and straightforward maintenance, the unit features an inclined grate configuration with a fin design that actively reduces flare-ups and channels grease into a front collection tray. Full flame failure protection with a continuous pilot burner on each burner position ensures safe operation, while lift-out radiants, burners and grease tray baffles make cleaning quick between services. Constructed from 304 stainless steel and manufactured in New Zealand, it is compatible with both natural gas and LPG.

Key Benefits

• Intense, evenly distributed heat from a 48 MJ/hr stainless steel U-burner delivers consistent char marks and thorough searing across the entire cooking surface.
• Inclined grate fin design actively reduces flare-ups during cooking, minimising burnt flavours and improving food quality without constant operator intervention.
• Integrated grooves channel grease away from the heat source and into a front collection trough, reducing fire risk and keeping the cooking zone cleaner during service.
• Reversible heavy-duty cast iron grates extend their useful life and allow operators to flip for a fresh cooking surface without replacing components.
• Full flame failure protection with a continuous pilot burner on each burner position shuts off gas automatically if the flame extinguishes, supporting a safer kitchen environment.
• Lift-out radiants, burners and grease tray baffles allow the unit to be broken down quickly for thorough cleaning, reducing end-of-service labour.
• Heavy-duty, heat-resistant reinforced control knobs withstand the demands of a busy commercial kitchen and maintain precise variable high-low temperature control over time.
• Leg stand configuration provides a stable, at-height working position and allows easy access underneath for cleaning and servicing.
• Dual gas compatibility with natural gas and LPG via a 3/4 BSP male connection gives flexibility for different site configurations.
