Flat Contact Grill – Double Zone, Model PG-814C
This flat contact grill is a commercial-grade, double flat-plate sandwich press commonly used for grilling sandwiches, wraps, burgers, quesadillas, and breakfast items in busy commercial kitchens. Model PG-814C features smooth, non-ribbed cast iron plates for even heat distribution across both cooking zones.
Why Choose This Flat Contact Grill
Unlike ribbed contact grills, this flat contact grill leaves no grill marks — ideal for paninis, grilled cheese, eggs, and flatbread where a smooth, even sear is what you want. The two independent cooking zones let you grill different items at the same time, each with its own thermostat control, making it a genuinely flexible piece of equipment for varied menus.

Use & Benefits
This flat contact grill is ideal for preparing flat-grilled items without grill marks, and it’s particularly well suited to breakfast menus — eggs, bacon, and wraps all cook evenly across the smooth plates.

Cleaning Guidelines
- Turn off and unplug the flat contact grill after use
- Allow the plates to cool slightly before cleaning (warm surfaces clean more easily than fully cooled ones)
- Use a non-abrasive sponge or soft cloth with a mild detergent to wipe down the smooth plate surface
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a flat and ribbed contact grill? A flat contact grill uses smooth plates rather than ridged ones, so food cooks without grill marks — better suited to items like eggs, flatbread, and grilled cheese where an even, mark-free surface is preferred.
Can I cook two different foods at once? Yes — this flat contact grill has two independent cooking zones, each with its own thermostat and power switch, so you can grill different items side by side at different settings.
How do I clean the plates? Once cooled slightly, the smooth cast iron plates wipe down easily with a non-abrasive sponge and mild detergent — no need to dismantle any part of the unit.
Is this grill certified for commercial use? Yes, this flat contact grill is CE certified and built with a stainless steel body and cast iron plates for durability under everyday commercial use.
What’s the power output? It draws 2.3kW total from a standard 230V/50Hz supply, with a temperature range of 50–300°C across both independently controlled zones.
