BenchStar Toaster / Griller / Salamander AT-938E

The Benchstar AT-938E is a compact 580 mm benchtop salamander griller for finishing, toasting and browning. A durable stainless steel element runs on an infinite switch with a continuous function, with rack support on both sides and a supplied wiring grid. At 2.2 kW it runs from a standard 10 A outlet, so it drops into a cafe or bistro finishing line without electrical work.

Why operators choose the AT-938E

• 2.2 kW from a standard 10 A outlet — plugs into a normal single-phase kitchen socket, so no dedicated circuit or electrician is needed
• 580 mm compact footprint — the smallest depth-and-width combination in this salamander range, for tight benches
• Infinite switch with continuous function — run continuously through service or dial the element back for gentler browning
• Rack support on both sides — the grid sets at more than one height to move food closer to or further from the element
• Cool-to-touch Bakelite grid handles — reposition the grid mid-service without reaching for a cloth
• Control knob on the right-hand side — kept clear of the heat zone so it stays comfortable to reach during service
• Stainless steel crumb collector — pulls out from the bottom so close-down is a wipe rather than a strip-down
• Anti-slip feet — the unit stays put on a stainless bench even when the grid is being worked
