Imperial Steakhouse 48" Gas Charbroiler
Model IABFR-48 | 160,000 BTU • cETLus • NSFBuilt for high-volume steakhouses, hotels and busy casual dining, the Imperial Steakhouse 48" floor-model charbroiler delivers searing heat, signature grill marks and rock-solid reliability in a space-saving footprint.
Key performance benefits
- 8 individually controlled stainless-steel burners (20,000 BTU each) spaced every 6" for precision zone control.
- Removable cast-iron radiants store and radiate intense, even heat while shielding burners from drips.
- Three-position, slanted 9-bar cast-iron grates create hot, medium and holding zones in one pass.
- 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.
- Completely insulated cooktop conserves energy and keeps side panels cooler to the touch.
