Overview

Waldorf GPL8120E-B 800 Series 1200mm Electric Griddle Low Back Bench Model

The Waldorf GPL8120E-B is a heavy-duty 1200mm electric griddle from the Waldorf 800 Series, engineered for high-volume commercial kitchens demanding consistent, reliable performance. Manufactured in New Zealand from 304 stainless steel throughout, it features a 20mm thick machined griddle plate delivering 16.2kW of heating power, with thermostatic temperature control across separate left, centre and right heat zones spanning 50 to 300°C.

Configured as a bench-mounted unit with a low back splashback, the GPL8120E-B comes with four heavy-duty adjustable legs offering a height range of 80 to 105mm, plus two additional rollers for ease of repositioning. Optional ribbed plate sections or mirror-finish hard chrome plates allow operators to tailor the unit to their menu requirements, while top-weld sealed plates, a stainless steel grease drawer, and overlapping plate edges at the front and rear simplify cleaning and reduce downtime.

Key Benefits

• The 20mm thick machined griddle plate retains and distributes heat evenly, reducing hot spots and ensuring consistent cooking results across the full 1200mm surface.
• Three independent heat zones, each with its own thermostat, allow simultaneous cooking of different foods at different temperatures, maximising throughput during peak service.
• Top-weld sealed plates and overlapping plate edges at the front and rear minimise grease traps and make end-of-service cleaning fast and thorough.
• The stainless steel grease drawer captures runoff efficiently, keeping the cooking area cleaner and reducing fire risk during extended service periods.
• Adjustable bench legs with a height range of 80 to 105mm and two included rollers make installation and repositioning straightforward without specialist tools.
• Large heat-resistant reinforced control knobs with easy-view settings remain legible and functional even in demanding, high-temperature kitchen environments.
• Optional ribbed plate sections or mirror-finish hard chrome plates let operators adapt the griddle to suit different menu items, from delicate fish to chargrilled vegetables.
• Indicator lights for power and heating status provide clear at-a-glance monitoring, helping kitchen staff track the unit quickly during busy service.
• Constructed from 304 stainless steel throughout and built in New Zealand, the unit is designed for long-term durability and straightforward compliance with kitchen hygiene standards.
