Automatic infrared grill „CB“ FORMULA grill XS

A high-speed grill with a closed cooking chamber

Designed for restaurants, cafés, bars and snack bars, this automatic grill cooks meat, fish and vegetables and makes toasted sandwiches, all to recipes you choose on a touch screen.

The food sits on a hot cast-iron grid or glass-ceramic plate, which sears it from below, while infrared heat from above penetrates deep into the food, keeping it juicy. The cooking surface is GN 1/2 (265 × 325 mm), and at just 420 mm wide the grill takes up little worktop space.

Modulated infrared

The grill automatically adjusts the infrared intensity to suit what you are cooking — a sandwich, a lasagne that needs browning or a tender beef fillet. The infrared also heats the grid or plate, and the food cooks or reheats uniformly without charring.

According to the manufacturer, food cooked this way loses only 10–25% of its weight on average, which keeps food costs down. „CB“ has used modulated infrared technology for more than 10 years.

Cast-iron grid and glass-ceramic plate

Two GN 1/2 cooking surfaces are included: an enamelled cast-iron grid and a glass-ceramic plate. The grid heats evenly and leaves well-defined grill marks, making it ideal for meat, fish and vegetables.

Unlike aluminium grids, the enamelled cast-iron grid is not easily damaged and releases no harmful particles into salty or acidic food. It is as quick and easy to clean as the glass-ceramic plate.

Three programmes

The Express cooking programme is for meat, fish, vegetables and more: it brings out the flavour, while the grid gives the food a distinctive texture.

The Multi-zone programme lets you run up to 4 recipes at the same time, making it easier to offer a more varied menu.

The Snack programme makes sandwiches, toast, wraps and similar snacks in a few minutes — crisp on the outside and hot on the inside.

In the manufacturer’s sample recipes, a burger patty takes 4 minutes, lasagne 4 minutes 30 seconds and toast 2 minutes.

Touch screen and recipes

The grill is operated from a touch screen with pre-installed recipes sorted into 4 product categories, so each dish turns out the same every time.

You can edit and duplicate recipes or create your own: a recipe can have up to 4 stages, and for each stage you set the time and one of 4 infrared levels. Frequently used recipes can be saved as favourites, and the screen also has warm-up and cleaning functions.

Constant air exchange

The Fresh Air System constantly renews the air in the chamber: air is drawn in, heated and fed into the chamber. The warm air keeps the grid at temperature and supplies the oxygen needed for food to cook or reheat properly.

The air then escapes naturally through two rear vents, so less cooking smoke is produced.

Connecting the grill

The grill runs on a 400 V three-phase and neutral supply (3N~, 50/60 Hz), with a rated power of 5.6 kW and a maximum current of 12 A. A single power cable connects the grill to a 16 A three-phase socket (3P+N+E).

What’s included and accessories

The grill comes with a glass-ceramic plate, an enamelled cast-iron cooking grid and a water tray (all GN 1/2), plus a snack spatula, a grid removal hook and a brass-bristle brush with a scraper. Fat dripping from the food collects in the water tray at the bottom of the chamber.

Every supplied item can also be ordered separately: plate (02110023), grid (04050011), water tray (14080577), spatula (14080578), hook (14080579) and brush (14080580), as well as Easy clean detergent (6 × 1 L bottles, 15030115).
