Overview

Waldorf GPL8900E-RB 800 Series 900mm Electric Griddle Low Back Version with Refrigerated Base

The Waldorf GPL8900E-RB pairs a 900mm electric griddle with a self-contained refrigerated base, forming part of the Waldorf 800 Series modular suite engineered for high-volume commercial kitchens. The griddle delivers 12kW of power through a 20mm thick machined plate with a single temperature control zone, while the refrigerated base provides a -2°C to +8°C tropical-climate-rated storage solution positioned directly beneath the cooking surface.

Built from 304 stainless steel throughout, this unit incorporates two GN 1/1 refrigerated drawers, a ventilated R134a refrigeration system with automatic defrost, and a front-accessible condensing unit for straightforward servicing. By combining robust griddle construction with integrated cold storage, the GPL8900E-RB reduces bench space requirements and keeps perishable ingredients within reach during service.

Key Benefits

• Integrated refrigerated base keeps perishable ingredients within arm's reach of the cooking surface, reducing travel time and improving service efficiency.
• 12kW electric heating with a 20mm thick machined griddle plate delivers consistent, even heat across the entire cooking surface for uniform results.
• Single temperature control zone simplifies operation, allowing staff to manage the entire griddle surface with one adjustment.
• Tropical-climate-rated refrigeration (-2°C to +8°C) maintains safe food temperatures even in demanding, heat-intensive kitchen environments.
• Automatic defrost and automatic evaporation of defrost water minimise manual maintenance tasks and reduce downtime between services.
• The condensing unit can be withdrawn from the front of the cabinet, allowing servicing to be carried out without moving the appliance away from the wall.
• Top weld-sealed plates and overlapping plate edges at the front and rear simplify cleaning and reduce grease build-up.
• Optional ribbed plate sections and mirror-finish hard chrome plates allow the unit to be configured for different menu requirements.
• Heavy-duty reinforced control knobs and tool-free replaceable magnetic drawer gaskets contribute to long-term durability and ease of upkeep.
