Waldorf Bold CHLB8450G-B Gas Chargrill 450mm Bench-Mount Low Back

The Waldorf Bold CHLB8450G-B is a 450mm wide, bench-mounted gas chargrill in a low back configuration, purpose-built for high-output commercial kitchens that require consistent, authentic char results. A single stainless steel burner delivers 48MJ/hr (13.3kW) of intense, even heat across reversible heavy-duty cast iron grates, producing the classic char marks and caramelisation that professional food service demands. Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel and finished in a default black with additional colour options available across the Waldorf Bold range, the unit is engineered to endure the demands of continuous commercial operation.

Safety and serviceability are central to the design. Each burner is equipped with both a pilot ignition system and a flame failure device, satisfying commercial kitchen safety standards and giving operators confidence during service. Routine maintenance is simplified through removable radiants, burners and grease tray baffles that can be lifted clear for thorough cleaning without extended downtime. Heavy-duty, heat-resistant reinforced control knobs and variable high-low temperature adjustment complete a package suited to kitchens where space, reliability and ease of use all matter.
