How we repair your Flat-Top Griddle
A flat-top griddle is a commercial thick steel cooking plate heated from below by gas burners or electric elements with thermostat or manual controls. A flat-top griddle uses burners or elements, ignition or power controls, and temperature controls or thermostats to manage surface heat. A technician checks ignition, gas pressure or element continuity, switches and thermostats, and the condition of the cooking surface.
A down griddle or charbroiler can shut down a line station, so commercial cooking surfaces are scheduled as priority visits.
