A single 40MJ burner heats a 442mm x 530mm griddle plate 20mm thick, with a 90-300°C thermostat for consistent, even heat across the whole surface. The plate is top weld sealed with an overlapping finish front and rear, so there's no lip or trap for grease and food debris to catch in during cleaning. The burner runs on full pilot and flame failure protection with piezo ignition.

The GP8450G-LS comes on a leg stand, with a shelf underneath for extra storage. Full width ribbed or mirror chromed plate options and joining caps are available for multi-unit runs. Waldorf 800 Series is made by Moffat in New Zealand, and comes complete with a gas type conversion kit if you ever need to switch between natural gas and LPG.

Best for: kitchens without an existing bench that want a compact 450mm griddle for breakfast and flat-top service.

What's the difference between a Grill top and a griddle?

Grill top, or most commonly called a grill plate, is the most common type of flat grill in use. It's the option on our gas stoves and cooktops, with a thinner plate around 12mm, a single burner per 300mm section, and a simple valve instead of a thermostat, so it's either on high or low. The plate's removable for cleaning, which leaves a gap front and back that caustic cleaning fluid can work into over time and corrode. Grease is caught in a shallow tray per 300mm section.

The GP8450G-LS is a griddle, a different piece of equipment entirely. The plate is much thicker at 20mm, thermostatically controlled from 90-300°C rather than just high or low, and welded in as a sealed, non-removable unit with no gap for anything to get into. Grease drains into one deep tray under the whole plate instead of several shallow ones per section.

Does the GP8450G range come on other bases besides leg stand?

Yes. This GP8450G-LS is the leg stand version specifically. The GP8450G-B comes on bench legs, and the GP8450G-CB comes on a fully enclosed cabinet base.

What gas type does the GP8450G-LS run on?

Either natural gas or LPG, just let us know which when you order. Connection is a ¾″ BSP male gas inlet, so a licensed gas fitter makes the connection.
