Salamander toaster Hendi 264706

The Hendi salamander toaster is a countertop finishing unit with independently heated zones and an adjustable upper heating assembly. It gives chefs a dedicated way to brown dish tops and finish sandwiches under direct heat, with the clearance changed to suit the food rather than the portion being restricted to one fixed height.

Where it is used

At a café pass, use the upper heating surface to finish dishes and sandwiches shortly before service. The smoothly adjustable top lets the operator set the working height for different portion sizes, while the height-adjustment system is designed for safe repositioning during the shift.

The two independent heating zones suit a service station handling separate portions: operate the zone needed for the current work rather than both together. The pull-out tray catches grease and crumbs beneath the cooking area and can be removed to clear the debris after finishing.

Connection and installation

The 230 V supply rating identifies the voltage the salamander is designed for, so match the intended supply to that requirement when planning its position. Its 3.6 kW rated power is useful when checking the electrical load against the provision for the equipment on the line.

The thermostat provides incremental temperature adjustment up to 300 °C, and an indicator makes heating status visible during use. This gives the operator a practical control point for setting up top-heat finishing work.

Care

The stainless-steel body resists corrosion and is easy to keep clean in the damp conditions of a professional kitchen. Its material makes the exterior suitable for inclusion in the regular cleaning routine around a hot-food service station.

How to choose

Use the overall footprint of 620 × 520 × 530 mm to compare the salamander with the available worktop space. At 49 kg, it also calls for a stable position and consideration of the weight when moving it into place.

The maximum temperature of 300 °C supports intense top heat for browning dish surfaces and finishing sandwiches. The collection tray measures 590 × 350 mm, providing a broad area beneath the cooking zone to catch crumbs and grease during this work.
