MBM Salamander Toaster SAE651M for Professional Kitchens

A salamander toaster uses radiant heat from above to finish dishes without turning them. The heating element sits close to the food, browning cheese, melting toppings or crisping pastry in seconds. Because the heat comes from one direction only, the base stays cool and the food does not dry out. The MBM Salamander Toaster SAE651M has a movable upper plate that slides up and down on vertical guides. The operator lowers the plate to the exact height above the food, controlling how intense the heat is. For small items, the plate can be set close; for taller dishes, it is raised. The unit can heat only the left or right half of the surface, so two different items can be finished at once without cross-contamination. A wall-mount kit is available on request, freeing up worktop space. To use the appliance, the operator places the food on the chromium-plated steel grid. The grid and drip tray are both removable and have heat-resistant handles with a safety stop to prevent accidental removal while hot. The upper plate is lowered to the desired height, and the heating zone is selected. The appliance is switched on, and the Incoloy armoured elements glow red, radiating heat downward. Once the food is browned, the appliance is switched off, and the plate is raised. The grid and drip tray are removed for cleaning. The body is made of stainless steel, including the drip trays. The heating elements tilt upward for easy access to the area beneath the moving deck. An aluminium insulated handle prevents burns when adjusting the plate height. Thermal insulation keeps the outer surfaces cooler, reducing the risk of accidental contact burns. The controls are simple and intuitive. A user-friendly display shows the selected settings, and the operator can choose which half of the surface to heat. The power rating of 2.0 kW indicates the load on the electrical circuit; the appliance requires a dedicated 230 V single-phase supply with neutral, suitable for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz mains. The weight of 23 kg means the unit can be moved by two people or with a small trolley, but it is stable enough to stay in place during use. The footprint of 760 mm wide by 400 mm deep fits on most worktops or can be wall-mounted to save space. The tilting heating elements lift clear of the deck so crumbs and grease can be wiped away without reaching into tight corners. The grid and drip tray are removed and washed separately. The heating elements tilt up, allowing access to the area beneath the moving deck. The stainless steel surfaces can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The thermal insulation and aluminium handle prevent heat build-up on external parts, making them safe to touch soon after use. The appliance is available with optional wall-mounting brackets, which must be requested at the time of order. The MBM Salamander Toaster SAE651M is listed in the professional catering equipment catalogue under electric toasters and salamanders.
