- Cast-in grease trough on every grate feeds a full-width front gutter to minimize flare-ups.
- Full stainless-steel exterior, open cabinet base and landing ledge stand up to the toughest kitchens and wipe clean fast.
- Tool-less removal of grates, radiants, burners and the 3"-wide grease can speeds end-of-shift cleanup.
- High-visibility, stay-cool Valox™ grip knobs make adjustments safe and simple.
