A French plate surface heater designed for commercial electric ranges and cooking equipment that use solid-top heating elements. Operating at 240V and 2000W, this heater features a 9.25" diameter plate designed to fit compatible 8-3/4" mounting openings. The assembly includes 2-pin terminal connections along with a screw and offset pin mounting configuration for installation in compatible range tops and cooking surfaces. The heater converts electrical energy into surface heat for cooking tasks such as boiling, sautéing, simmering, and general food preparation. Commonly used in restaurant ranges and heavy-duty electric cooking equipment, the solid plate design helps distribute heat across the cooking surface during operation. Replacing a worn or non-functioning heater may help restore proper heat output, improve cooking performance, and correct uneven heating issues in compatible commercial ranges.
