Waldorf CHL8450G-B 800 Series 450mm Gas Chargrill Bench Model with Low Back

The Waldorf CHL8450G-B is a bench-mounted gas chargrill from the 800 Series, measuring 450mm in width and constructed entirely from 304 stainless steel for long-term durability in high-demand commercial kitchen environments. Engineered in New Zealand, it is powered by a single stainless steel burner rated at 48MJ/hr (13.3kW) and accepts both natural gas and LPG via an R 3/4 (BSP) male gas connection, delivering consistent, high-intensity radiant heat across a reversible heavy-duty cast iron grate surface for authentic char marks on meats, seafood and vegetables.

The CHL8450G-B is designed with an inclined grate featuring flare-reducing fin profiles and grooves that direct grease forward into a front collection trough, keeping flare-ups and smoke to a minimum during service. Each burner is equipped with complete pilot ignition and automatic gas shut-off should the flame be extinguished, while removable radiants, burner assemblies and grease tray baffles allow quick access for routine cleaning and servicing. Variable high-low temperature control, heavy-duty heat-resistant reinforced control knobs and a low back (splashback) configuration round out a unit built for safe, practical, high-volume cooking. No undershelf is included, and the unit carries a 24-month warranty.
