Automatic Clamshell Contact Grill, 14 kW, 590×430 mm

The FKI GL 9002 is a Turbomatic automatic clamshell contact grill designed for continuous high-volume frying of steaks — fresh or frozen — and hamburger patties in commercial HoReCa kitchens. Drawing 14.0 kW across three independently zoned heating elements, it delivers consistent, repeatable results across a 590 × 430 mm frying surface, making it a practical choice for busy burger bars, hotel kitchens, fast-casual restaurants and catering operations.

Fully automatic operation sets this grill apart: the upper pan opens on its own at the end of each program cycle, with an audible alarm to alert kitchen staff. Six programmable cooking programs per zone — with independent time and temperature control for upper and lower pans — allow teams to standardise results and reduce reliance on cook judgment. An Eco power-saving function cuts energy draw during idle periods, and a side-mounted grease drawer keeps cleanup straightforward. Compatible Teflon foil accessories (large top pan PN 01-10105; bottom pan PN 01-10102) are available to extend non-stick performance and protect cooking surfaces.
