Product Details

The Ultimate Restaurant Range 24” Series is a versatile, high-performance commercial gas range designed for both durability and efficiency in busy kitchen environments. With a compact width of 24-3/8” and a 37” high cooking top, this range is built to fit into tight spaces without compromising on power. It features a 4” stainless steel front rail and durable stainless steel front and sides, ensuring long-lasting performance and ease of cleaning. The front-located manual gas shut-off provides convenience and safety, and the factory-installed regulator ensures optimal operation.

This range includes four removable, heavy-duty cast iron grate tops, with the rear grate capable of holding up to a 14” stock pot for larger cooking tasks. The standing pilot for open top burners ensures reliable ignition, while the battery spark ignition system for the oven bases simplifies operation. A one-year, no-quibble, 24/7 parts and labor warranty provides peace of mind.

Cast Iron Star/Sauté Burners (Burner Option 3): For enhanced cooking power, the Ultimate Restaurant Range offers an option for four 33,000 BTU NAT star burners. The unique port arrangement of the burners ensures even distribution of flame for superior heat consistency, making them ideal for sautéing and other high-heat cooking methods.

The Stainless Steel Cabinet (C) provides a sturdy and reliable base for the range, and it comes with optional, no-charge doors that open from the center, offering easy access to storage space.
