Description

A built-in electric griddle that drops into a metal counter and turns out about 1,450 hamburgers an hour from a 46.9" wide plate.

The Wells G-246 is a G-Series electric built-in (drop-in) griddle with a 46.9" x 24.3" cooking surface, 1,140 square inches. 4 positive-off thermostats give individual zone control from 200°F to 450°F, and enclosed tubular elements clamped under the plate spread heat over the whole surface. It reaches 400°F in about 9 minutes. Wellsloks hold it in a metal counter, and a terminal block takes the field wiring.
