Imperial (Middleby) IHR-1FT-C Spec Series Gas Ranges

Spec Series™ 36" Gas French-Top Range with Convection Oven

Built for demanding commercial kitchens, Imperial’s Spec Series™ IHR-1FT-C marries the finesse of a French top with the speed and consistency of a ½-HP forced-air convection oven. A stainless-steel exterior, heavy-duty cast-iron components and precise manual controls make this 36-inch range a reliable workhorse for hotels, restaurants and institutional operations.

Why you’ll love it
