Waldorf CHL8600G-B 800 Series 600mm Gas Chargrill Low Back Bench Model

The Waldorf CHL8600G-B is a 600mm bench-model gas chargrill from the renowned 800 Series, purpose-built for high-volume commercial kitchens. Powered by two 304 stainless steel U-burners delivering a combined 66 MJ/hr (18.3 kW), it produces the intense, even radiant heat needed to achieve authentic char marks on meats, seafood and vegetables service after service.

Designed and manufactured in New Zealand to exacting standards, the CHL8600G-B accepts both natural gas and LPG via a 3/4" BSP male connection. Its low back bench configuration integrates easily into existing cook lines, while thoughtful engineering details including lift-out grates, radiants and baffles, an inclined cooking surface and flame failure protection make it straightforward to operate, clean and maintain in a demanding kitchen environment.

Key Benefits

• Consistent, powerful heat across the full cooking surface delivers reliable char marks and thorough searing with every service.
• Inclined grate position reduces flare-ups by channelling grease away from the burners, improving food quality and reducing the risk of uncontrolled flames.
• Flame failure protection with a continuous pilot burner automatically shuts off gas if the flame is extinguished, keeping staff and the kitchen safe.
• Reversible heavy-duty cast iron top grates extend their usable life and allow operators to choose the optimal cooking surface profile for different menu items.
• Lift-out grates, radiants and baffles allow thorough, tool-free access to all internal components, dramatically reducing end-of-service cleaning time.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs withstand the rigours of constant daily use and provide precise variable high-low temperature adjustment.
• Compatible with both natural gas and LPG, giving operators flexibility across different site requirements without the need for additional conversion kits.
• Bench model footprint integrates neatly into existing cook lines or can be used as a standalone unit on a suitable bench or equipment stand.
