Product Details

The Ultimate Restaurant Range 48” Series is a powerful and versatile commercial gas range designed to meet the needs of high-demand kitchens. With a width of 48-5/8” and a 37” high cooking top, this range features a durable stainless steel construction, including a 4” stainless steel front rail and stainless steel front and sides, making it easy to clean and maintain. A front-located manual gas shut-off offers quick access to safely turn off gas to the entire range, while the factory-installed regulator ensures a seamless installation process. The range includes a standing pilot for reliable ignition of the open top burners, and the oven bases feature battery spark ignition for quick and easy startup.

The 33K Non-Clog Burners provide exceptional cooking power, featuring eight patented, one-piece, lifetime clog-free cast iron burners that deliver 33,000 BTUs of natural gas (NAT) heat. The rear burner is large enough to hold up to a 14” stock pot, making it perfect for heavy-duty cooking. These burners are designed for long-lasting performance and ease of use, ensuring consistent heat distribution across all cooking tasks.

For oven cooking, the 32,000 BTU NAT Convection Oven (Model A) provides a temperature range from 175°F to 550°F (79°C to 288°C), giving you precise control over your cooking process. The oven’s porcelain enamel interior measures 14” high, 26” wide, and 24” deep, offering ample space for various dishes. It includes three racks with five-position side rails for added versatility. The high-efficiency 1/2 hp motor operates at 1710 rpm, 60 cycle, 115V AC, and features permanent lubricated ball bearings, overload protection, and Class “B” insulation. An On/Off switch allows the convection oven to also function as a standard oven, increasing its flexibility for different cooking needs.

The 18” Stainless Steel Cabinet (C) base provides robust storage and durability, with an optional no-charge door available for additional customization. Designed to deliver top-tier performance and reliability, the Ultimate Restaurant Range 48” Series is the ideal choice for professional kitchens, providing the cooking power, versatility, and durability needed to handle high-volume food preparation with ease.
