Equipex DIABLO VG Double Infrared Panini Press, Vitroceramic Glass Plates, Two 13.25" x 12" Grill Areas, 208/240V
Description
Two infrared vitroceramic panini grills on one base, for fast toasting at banquets and display stations.
The Equipex DIABLO VG is a vitroceramic panini press with two grills. Infrared elements under non-porous vitroceramic glass plates cook with combined radiant and contact heat, so it preheats and cooks faster than cast iron. Each grill has a 13.25" W x 12" D cooking surface, thermostatic control up to 570°F and a precision-balanced, spring-counterbalanced top. A removable toasting collar creates a heat chamber to cut toasting and warming times, and a programmable electronic timer stores three settings. It runs on 208/240V single phase at 6 kW.

Infrared glass plates
Non-porous vitroceramic plates heat with combined infrared radiant and contact heat. They need no seasoning and resist carbon build-up.
Toasting collar
The included toasting collar forms a heat chamber that shortens toasting, warming and cooking times.
Up to 570°F
Thermostatic control up to 570°F with on/off switch, pilot and temperature indicator lights.
Built-in timer
A programmable electronic timer stores three time settings.
Easy cleaning
Wipe the plates with a damp sponge or plastic scrubby and soapy water at the end of the day. A built-in drip and crumb drawer pulls out.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the shipment for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Equipex ships it as pallet freight at about 115 lb.
- Equipex says all equipment must be plugged into a dedicated circuit of the proper rating: 208/240V, 22/25 A, with a NEMA 6-50 receptacle for the NEMA 6-50P plug.
- Keep 2" clear on each side and set it on a sturdy, level counter.
Questions buyers ask
What outlet does it need?
A dedicated 208/240V circuit. It draws 6 kW at 22/25 amps and has a NEMA 6-50P plug.
Which plates does it come with?
Equipex offers the DIABLO VG with these vitroceramic plate sets: grooved top with smooth bottom; or smooth top and bottom. Tell us which set you need when you order.
How long does it take to preheat?
Equipex says 10 to 15 minutes, depending on voltage and set temperature. 120V units take slightly longer than 208/240V units.
Can I use metal utensils or foil?
No. Metal can scratch the glass, and foil reflects the infrared heat back into the unit and can cause it to overheat and shut down. Parchment paper is fine.
How do I clean the glass plates?
Wipe them with a damp sponge or plastic scrubby and soapy water at the end of the day. Never submerge the grill. A razor scraper can remove stubborn residue now and then.
What warranty does it have?
Equipex gives a one-year limited parts and labor warranty to the original purchaser.
