The Lincat OE8417 Opus 800 Ignite Electric Chargrill is the largest and most powerful model in the Ignite range, designed to meet the demands of high-output professional kitchens. At 1100mm wide, this flagship chargrill combines impressive capacity with authentic flame-grilled flavour, cutting-edge efficiency, and the durability operators expect from a Lincat-built appliance. Proudly manufactured in Britain, the OE8417 is an ideal choice for operators who want to embrace the electrification of their kitchens without compromising on taste, performance, or reliability.

Authentic Flame-Grilled Flavour at Scale
At the heart of the OE8417 is real flame technology, delivering the unmistakable charred aroma and smoky depth of flavour associated with traditional grilling. Diners prefer it to gas alternatives in blind taste tests, making Ignite the chef’s choice for authenticity. Its robust, segmented cast iron grids heat evenly and create striking branding marks that add visual appeal, ensuring consistency across large volumes of service.

Built for Busy, High-Throughput Kitchens
With its generous 1100mm cooking width, the OE8417 is engineered to keep up with the pressures of fast-paced kitchens. It offers four independently controlled heat zones, giving chefs total control over output. Whether searing steaks, grilling vegetables, or running staggered batches, operators can manage energy use and cooking performance with precision. This makes the OE8417 a versatile centrepiece for kitchens handling large-scale service, from hotels and restaurants to production catering.

Smarter, Cleaner, More Efficient
Supporting the industry’s shift towards electrification, the OE8417 delivers substantial energy savings compared with earlier models. It uses 41% less energy than Lincat’s previous Direct Cook Chargrill, helping reduce utility costs and environmental impact. Cleaning is up to three times faster, with vapourising technology that incinerates fat and debris, leaving only a light ash that can be swept out in moments. Operators also benefit from 23% more usable cooking space, maximising efficiency during peak times.

Designed for Practicality and Durability
Every feature of the OE8417 has been developed with chefs in mind. An enamelled base plate beneath the grids makes cleaning easier, while a three-piece stainless-steel splashback protects the surrounding area. The chargrill is supplied with a grid lifting tool and cleaning rake as standard, ensuring operators have everything they need to maintain the equipment effortlessly. Optional extras such as a resting rack, garnish rail for GN 1/9 pots, and a dedicated stand allow kitchens to customise the setup to their workflow.

Proudly British, Backed with Confidence
As part of the Opus 800 series, the OE8417 embodies Lincat’s reputation for reliability, innovation, and British engineering excellence.
