EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

Lang Model: 100 SERIES SB-WB

Exterior Construction

The griddle dimensions are 17” (43.18cm) High, 30” (76.20cm) Deep, and width is
dependent on the actual model number.

The Sides, Bottom, and Rear wall are constructed of double wall stainless steel,
which allows closer installation to combustible surfaces.

The griddle surface is made of 1” thick, highly polished steel to reduce hot and cold
spots, recovery problems, warping, and ensure even heat to the edges of the griddle.

Controls

Each twelve-inch section has its own temperature selector switch that snaps into
place to lock in any temperature from 175°F to 450°F in 25° increments.

Each twelve-inch section of the griddle is controlled by an area sensitive RTD probe,
which can sense and react to a temperature change of +/- 4°F.

Each twelve-inch section has a set of 6 K.W. elements for high efficiency, quick
recovery and outstanding performance

Technical

The 100 series SB-WB griddles operates on either 208/240V or 480V.
Voltage must be specified when ordering.

Minimum clearances: 2” from side and back
