Description
A 36.5-inch electric countertop griddle with a 1/2-inch steel plate and 4 independently controlled heat zones.
The Wells G23 is a G-Series electric countertop griddle with a 34.25" x 24.3" cooking surface (833 sq. in.). Enclosed tubular elements are clamped to the bottom of a 1/2" thick steel plate, and 4 positive-off thermostats each control an 8-1/2-inch-wide section from 200°F to 450°F. It is wired on site to a terminal block, so plan a hard-wired circuit for the voltage you order.

An extra-large, removable front grease drawer holds 4 quarts and pulls out for emptying.
Guarded controls
Guard rings around the knobs help prevent bumped settings. Splash guards lift off for cleaning.
