Giorik SH20 Hi Lite Rise and Fall Electric Salamander Grill
£1,633.00(£1,959.60 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Giorik SH20 is a rise and fall electric salamander grill designed for commercial kitchen use. The adjustable head allows operators to raise or lower the grill element to control heat intensity without adjusting power settings, which is a practical advantage when finishing dishes to order or holding product at temperature between service periods. It accepts 2/3 GN capacity, making it a compact option for kitchens with limited overhead or counter space.
In service, the SH20's 3kW element reaches working temperature extremely quickly, which matters in kitchens where the salamander is not left on continuously throughout the day. Rapid heat-up reduces the energy wasted during standby and limits the volume of residual heat expelled into the kitchen — a consideration that is often underestimated in smaller or less well-ventilated kitchens. Recovery between passes is consistent, supporting steady throughput during busy service periods.
From an operational standpoint, the rise and fall mechanism gives chefs direct control over browning and finishing without the guesswork that comes from fixed-height units. Key practical benefits include:
- Adjustable head height for precise control over browning and finishing
- Fast heat-up reduces energy use and unnecessary kitchen heat load
- Compact 2/3 GN footprint suits tighter counter or pass configurations
- Single-phase connection keeps installation straightforward in most sites
- Simple construction with minimal components to maintain
Installation is single phase, which simplifies the electrical requirements for most commercial premises. The unit weighs 40kg, so wall or shelf mounting should be assessed for structural suitability before installation. Ventilation above and around the unit should be adequate — the manufacturer's clearance guidelines should be followed, particularly in enclosed overhead positions.
The SH20 is well suited to small to medium kitchens, cafés, bistros, and pub operations where a capable, energy-conscious salamander is needed without the footprint or power demands of a full-width unit. For sites with higher throughput or larger GN requirements, a heavier-duty or wider model would be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your pass layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk through the options with you.
Frequently asked questions
Is this salamander suitable for a small restaurant or café kitchen?
Yes, the SH20 is well matched to small and medium operations — cafés, bistros, pubs, and similar sites where a reliable finishing grill is needed without a large footprint. Its 2/3 GN capacity suits kitchens running moderate covers rather than high-volume production environments. For sites pushing significantly higher throughput, a full-width or higher-powered model would be worth discussing.
What are the installation requirements for this unit?
The SH20 runs on a single-phase supply, which is standard in most UK commercial premises and keeps installation relatively uncomplicated. At 40kg, the unit requires a structurally sound mounting position — whether on a purpose-built stand, a robust shelf, or a wall bracket — and adequate ventilation clearance should be maintained around the element and casing. We'd recommend confirming the mounting arrangement with your installer before purchasing.
How does the rise and fall mechanism help in a busy service?
The adjustable head lets chefs move the element closer to or further from the food rather than relying solely on timer or power settings to control the result. In practice, this means faster browning when needed and gentler finishing or holding without switching the unit off and on repeatedly. It also reduces the risk of burning product during a busy pass when attention is divided across multiple dishes.
