Delivery and setup
- Ships by freight carrier; the shipping cost depends on your location. See our shipping policy for details.
- Call (201) 467-8222 for the current lead time before you schedule installation.
- Choose the voltage and phase when you order; they must match your building's electrical supply.

- Inspect the shipment before signing and note any visible damage on the freight bill.
Questions buyers ask
What electrical service does it need?
2 kW at 208V or 240V, single phase only. Royal's sheet lists maximum amps of 208V 1-phase 10 A; 240V 1-phase 9 A.
Can I order it in three phase?
No. Royal lists the RHPE-12-1 for single phase only, at 208V or 240V.
Where does it go?
On a level counter or a Royal equipment stand. Royal's sheet says to install it only in non-combustible surroundings, so keep it away from wood walls and shelves.
Why do the option labels show different amps?
The amps in some option names on this page differ from Royal's 1-26 spec sheet (240V 1-phase option says 10 A, sheet says 9 A). The spec table uses Royal's figures; call us to confirm before your electrician sizes the circuit.
How does it compare with the gas RHP hot plate?
It has the same 12" width and 11" low-profile design, but uses 1 sealed electric element instead of 30,000 BTU gas burners, so it needs an electrical circuit sized for its amps instead of a gas line.
Is there a matching stand?
Royal makes stainless steel equipment stands in 12" to 72" widths, knock-down or all-welded, with optional 5" swivel casters. The stand is sold separately.
What does the warranty cover?
Royal's limited warranty is 2 years on parts and 1 year on labor from installation (up to 30 months from manufacture). Labor is covered when an authorized Royal service agency does the work.
How do I clean it?
Let the elements cool, wipe them with a damp cloth, and empty and wash the crumb pan daily. Wipe the stainless steel with hot soapy water; don't use steel wool or abrasive powders.
