Equipex DIABLO Double Panini Press, Fine-Grain Cast Iron Plates, Two 14" x 9.5" Grill Areas, 208/240V
Two cast iron panini grills side by side on one base, for busy sandwich lines.
The Equipex DIABLO is a countertop panini press with two independent grills and heavy fine-grain cast iron plates that spread and hold heat for all-day service. It gives you two 14" W x 9.5" D grill areas, thermostatic control up to 570°F and an adjustable, spring-counterbalanced top that adapts to thick or thin sandwiches. A detachable front drip tray and a grooved-plate scraper come with it. It runs on 208/240V single phase at 6.5 kW.
Plan a 35.5" wide spot so the press has 2" free on each side, and check the NEMA 6-50 receptacle is within reach.
Fine-grain cast iron plates distribute heat evenly and retain it, so recovery stays quick through a rush.
Thermostatic control up to 570°F. On/off switch with pilot lights.
The spring-counterbalanced top plate has tension control and adjusts to different food thicknesses.
A detachable front drip tray collects grease, and a scraper for grooved plates is included.
Mechanical or electronic timers are optional (two are required for this model). The ET-3 electronic timer stores three settings.
A dedicated 208/240V circuit. It draws 6.5 kW at 24/27 amps and has a NEMA 6-50P plug.
Equipex offers the DIABLO with these plate sets: grooved top and bottom; smooth top and bottom; smooth right side with grooved left side; or grooved tops with smooth bottoms. Tell us which plate set you need when you order; the photos show grooved plates.
Equipex says 10 to 20 minutes, depending on voltage and set temperature. 120V units take slightly longer than 208/240V units.
Yes. Equipex says to season the cast iron plates with cooking oil at 400°F for 10 to 15 minutes, let them cool, and repeat at least once before first use.
Let it cool, then scrape the plates with the included scraper and a stiff wire brush, pushing debris into the drip tray. Clean daily to prevent carbon build-up; Equipex does not recommend soap and water on the plates.
Equipex gives a one-year limited parts and labor warranty to the original purchaser. This model is serviced on site.
