Benchstar Large Double Contact Grill GH-813EE

The Benchstar GH-813EE is a large double contact grill with non-stick cast iron plates across a 759 × 285 mm cooking area, running +50 to +300 °C. Cast iron is why it recovers fast between items. Important: it draws 4.4 kW and requires two separate 10 A plugs, not one.

Why operators choose the GH-813EE

• Two 10 A plugs required, not one — 4.4 kW split across two outlets — check you have two available circuits at the bench before ordering
• 759 x 285 mm cooking area — a genuine double-width grill, so two orders run side by side
• Non-stick cast iron plates — cast iron holds and recovers heat; non-stick means product releases cleanly
• +50 to +300 degrees C — low enough to hold and high enough to mark and sear
• Fast heat recovery — the plate comes back to temperature between items, which is what keeps a lunch rush moving
• Smooth top and bottom plates — 2 x 338 x 220 mm top, 2 x 338 x 230 mm bottom
• All stainless steel body — wipes down and survives a busy bench

Specifications

Venue suitability

Cafes, sandwich bars, pubs and QSR sites pressing paninis, toasties and burgers at volume. The double width is the reason to choose it over a single grill — two orders at once — and the cast iron is why the plate is still at temperature for the third.

Installation & delivery

It requires two separate 10 A plugs for its 4.4 kW draw — not a single outlet, and not a 15 A circuit. Confirm two available outlets at the bench position before delivery, because this is the most common reason a unit like this cannot be commissioned on arrival. Otherwise it is a plug-in benchtop appliance: level bench, heat-tolerant surface, clearance for steam and heat. Dispatched from our Sydney HQ with partner warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth for faster delivery Australia-wide. Backed by a 12-month return-to-base warranty — the unit is returned for service rather than attended on site. See our warranty information page for full terms.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What power supply does the GH-813EE need? A: 240 V and 4.4 kW, drawn through TWO separate 10 A plugs. It is not a single-outlet appliance, so confirm two available circuits at the bench before ordering.

Q: What is the cooking area? A: 759 x 285 mm, with smooth top plates of 2 x 338 x 220 mm and bottom plates of 2 x 338 x 230 mm.

Q: What temperature range does it run? A: +50 to +300 degrees C.

Q: Why cast iron plates? A: Cast iron holds heat and recovers quickly between items, which is what keeps output steady through a rush. The non-stick coating means product releases cleanly.

Q: What are the dimensions and weight? A: It measures 840 mm wide x 395 mm deep x 210 mm high and weighs 31 kg.

Q: What warranty applies? A: Twelve months, return to base. The unit is returned for service rather than a technician attending on site — reasonable on a benchtop appliance you can transport, but worth factoring into downtime planning.
