products and practices. For more information, visit www.energystar.gov.
BENEFITS OF ENERGY STAR® CERTIFIED COMMERCIAL FOOD SERVICE (CFS) EQUIPMENT
Commercial Griddles
Commercial griddles that have earned the ENERGY STAR
are approximately 10 percent more energy efficient than
standard models. To meet the strict efficiency requirements
developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
ENERGY STAR program, manufacturers use high quality
components and employ innovative designs.
Eligible Products: Single-
and double-sided gas and
electric models that are
thermostatically controlled.
Ineligible Products: Manually
controlled griddles and fry-top
ranges.

Sub-griddle insulation (electric only)
Strategic placement of thermocouples
EXAMPLES OF ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
improved cooking performance
High production capacity
Improved uniformity across the griddle plate
Extended product lifetime

The eight ENERGY STAR CFS equipment categories include: griddles, ovens, hot food holding cabinets, fryers, steamers, dishwashers,
ice machines, and refrigerators and freezers.
ADDITIONAL ENERGY STAR HIGHLIGHTS
Outfitting an entire kitchen with a suite of ENERGY STAR certified CFS equipment could save operators about 340 MBtu/year, or the
equivalent of more than $3,100/year. These energy savings would prevent about 39,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
Models that have earned the ENERGY STAR meet strict guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Their performance
is certified by third-parties based on testing performed in an EPA-recognized laboratory.
ENERGY STAR qualified equipment is often a baseline for achieving credits from commercial kitchen and restaurant certification
and rating programs.
