Benchstar GH-400E - Electric Griddle, 400mm, 12mm Steel Plate

The Benchstar GH-400E is the compact model in Benchstar's MAX electric griddle range, with a thick 12mm polished mild steel plate measuring 396 x 400mm. It suits cafes, food vans and small kitchens that need a dedicated plate for eggs, burgers, steaks or pancakes in only 400mm of bench width. A single thermostat sets 50°C to 300°C, a removable oil collector sits at the front, and it needs a 15 A outlet. The wider GH-550E, GH-610E and GH-760E share the same build.

Is it built the same as the bigger GH griddles?
Yes. It has the same 12mm polished mild steel plate, 50°C to 300°C thermostat, splash guard and front oil collector as the GH-550E, GH-610E and GH-760E, in a 400mm width with a single control.

What plug does it need?
It is rated at 3 kW and needs a 15 A outlet. If you don't have one, a licensed electrician must install it.

How do I clean up the oil?
Oil runs through a deep-drawn drainage hole into a removable stainless steel collector at the front.
