Fagor Kore 700 Benchtop Mild Steel Gas Griddle NG FT-G705L

The Fagor FT-G705L is a 700-series benchtop gas griddle with a mild-steel fry-top, built for cafes, takeaways, food trucks and pub kitchens that need a high-heat flat-top in a tight bench space. It runs a single 7.5 kW (25 MJ/h) burner with thermostatic control from 100 to 300°C, and its 400 mm width drops onto a half-module bench while electronic spark ignition lets it run on gas with no mains power.

Why operators choose the FT-G705L

• 7.5 kW (25 MJ/h) single burner — strong, even heat with rapid reaction and recovery for back-to-back burgers, steaks and breakfast cooks.
• Mild-steel fry-top — high heat retention for hard searing; season the plate to build a durable, non-stick cooking layer.
• Thermostatic control 100–300°C — set a precise plate temperature and hold it through service for repeatable results.
• Electronic spark ignition, no mains power — installs without a power point, with a manual-ignition access tube as backup.
• Stamped AISI-304 stainless body — rounded edges and corners make wipe-downs faster and more hygienic.
• Front-tilted plate with 2 L grease tray — liquids run forward into a removable tray for fast clean-down.
• IPX5 water protection — built to handle wash-down cleaning in a working commercial kitchen.
• Compact 400 mm footprint — fits a half-module bench space while still giving a full flat-top cooking zone.

Specifications

Venue suitability

The FT-G705L suits cafes, breakfast bars, takeaways, food trucks and pub kitchens that need a reliable flat-top in a tight bench space. Its single 7.5 kW burner and 400 mm width make it ideal as a dedicated burger, egg or breakfast station, or as a secondary griddle alongside a larger cookline. For very high-volume sites running continuous flat-top service, a wider two-burner module is a better primary unit, and cooks who want lower fat adhesion and easier release may prefer the chrome-plate FT-G705CL.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Is the FT-G705L natural gas or LPG? A: As supplied it is configured for natural gas with a single burner rated at 7.5 kW (25 MJ/h). Connection must be carried out by a licensed gasfitter, who can advise on your site's requirements.

Q: Does it need electricity to run? A: No. It uses an electronic spark igniter and a manual-ignition access tube, so it operates without a mains power connection — useful for benches and mobile setups without a free power point.

Q: What temperature range does the plate reach? A: The fry-top is thermostatically controlled between 100 and 300°C, so you can set and hold a precise plate temperature for searing, breakfast cooking or gentle holding.

Q: What is the difference between this and the chrome FT-G705CL? A: The FT-G705L runs a mild-steel plate that holds heat well for hard searing and needs seasoning, while the FT-G705CL uses a 50-micron chrome plate that releases food more cleanly and wipes down faster.

Q: How big is the footprint? A: The unit measures 400 mm wide, 730 mm deep and 290 mm high and weighs 35 kg net, giving a compact half-module flat-top that fits tight bench spaces.

Q: What warranty is included? A: It carries 2 years parts and labour, plus a further 2 years parts only when you register the product within 14 days of invoice.
