Star-Max® 536CHSF 36" Electric Griddle, Snap-Action Thermostat, 1" Chrome Plate, 208/240V
The Star Star-Max® 536CHSF is a 36-inch countertop electric griddle with a highly polished 1-inch thick chrome plate. A 4,000-watt incoloy element and snap-action thermostat heat each 12-inch section, for 12,000 W at 240V (9,012 W at 208V). The griddle is hard-wired and operates on 208V or 240V service.
Heating & Temperature Control
Each 12-inch section has its own 4,000-watt incoloy sheath element controlled by a snap-action thermostat inserted into the griddle plate 3/16 inch from the cooking surface. The thermostat adjusts from 150°F to 450°F and reacts quickly to changes in plate temperature when product is loaded.
Double-wall construction keeps the exterior cooler and allows installation within 1 inch of combustible surfaces, which helps in tight lines. The 1-inch plate spreads heat evenly and holds it between batches.
Why Operators Choose It
- Precise control: Snap-action thermostat embedded in the plate, 150°F to 450°F.
- Even heat: 1" chrome plate with a 4,000 W element every 12 inches.
- Easy cleanup: Spatula-wide 3.25-inch grease trough, grease chute, 4.5-inch tapered splash guard and a 4.5-quart stainless steel grease drawer.
- Compact installation: Double-wall construction allows 1-inch clearance to combustible surfaces.
- Durable build: All-welded body, stainless steel front, bull nose and top, heavy-duty metal knobs, made in the USA.
