Equipex SEM-80VCH 32" Movable-Top Electric Salamander, High-Intensity Vitroceramic, 7.5 kW, 208/240V 1- or 3-Phase
Description
A 32-inch movable-top salamander with high-intensity vitroceramic elements and 7.5 kW of finishing power.
The Equipex SEM-80VCH is a 32" countertop finishing oven with 3 high-intensity vitroceramic heating zones in a counterweight-balanced movable top. Raise or lower the top to set the distance to the food, and use the four-position selector to run the left, right or all elements. High-intensity vitroceramic elements heat instantly with infinite power control. A pull-out bottom tray with a removable wire rack catches drippings, and 4" legs are included. It runs on 208/240V single phase or 208/240V three phase at 7.5 kW.

Movable top
The counterweight-balanced top moves up and down so you set the distance between the elements and the food.
Zone selector
A four-position selector runs the left, right or all heating elements for full or partial power.
Heating elements
High-intensity vitroceramic elements heat instantly with infinite power control.
Pull-out tray
A pull-out bottom tray with a removable wire rack. About 1/2" of water in the tray quenches drippings and eases cleanup.
Counter or wall

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 220 lb.
- The single-phase version has a NEMA 6-50P plug; the three-phase version is cord only for an electrician to connect. Tell us which supply you have when you order.
- The 4" legs or optional 1" adjustable feet must be installed at all times for air flow to the controls. Keep 4" clear on each side.
- Do not install it over high heat or open flame unless it sits on a 2" thick insulated shelf that is 4" larger than the unit on each side, back and front.
- Remove the shipping locking bolt from the back panel with a 10 mm socket before you move the top, and keep the bolt for future moves.
