Benchstar Electric Salamander ES-4000L

The Benchstar ES-4000L is a 600 mm electric salamander with a liftable suspension that holds any position — so the heat can be set at the right distance from the product rather than a fixed gap. An infinite switch gives continuous control, and a stainless crumb collector pulls out with a handle. Note it needs a 20 A supply.

Why operators choose the ES-4000L

• Liftable suspension that stays in any position — set the element-to-product distance for the job — the single biggest practical difference between salamanders
• Infinite switch with continuous function — stepless heat control rather than fixed settings
• Durable alloy heater — specified heating element rather than an unbranded part
• Wiring grid in the base — product sits on the grid rather than directly on the deck
• Stainless crumb collector with handle — pulls out for cleaning instead of being scraped
• Recessed front controls — the control panel is set back to reduce radiant heat on the dials
• Cool-touch Bakelite top handle — handled safely while hot
• 20 A supply required — confirm the circuit before delivery — well above a standard 10 A outlet

Specifications

Venue suitability

Restaurant and hotel cook-lines, pubs and clubs finishing gratins, melts and browning to order. The adjustable suspension is what makes it a working salamander rather than a fixed grill — you set the distance to suit whether you are melting cheese or colouring a crust.

Installation & delivery

It requires a 20 A supply. That is well above a standard 10 A outlet, so the circuit must be confirmed before delivery and may need an electrician to provide. Set it on a level, heat-tolerant surface with clearance above and behind, and keep combustible material clear of the element. Dispatched from our Sydney HQ with partner warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth for faster delivery Australia-wide. Backed by a 1-year parts and labour warranty — see our warranty information page for full terms.
