Description

Ultimate 48" Gas Restaurant Range

4 Open Burners • 24" Charbroiler (Left) • Convection Oven & Cabinet Base

Built for kitchens that never slow down, the Southbend Ultimate Series model 448-AC gives you the power of four clog-free burners, the flavor of a cast-iron charbroiler, and the even bake of a full-size convection oven — all in just 48 inches of line space. Heavy-gauge stainless steel, a front-mounted shut-off, and 228,000 total BTU make this range a long-term workhorse for high-volume restaurants, hotels, and institutional foodservice.

Why You’ll Love It

  • 4 × 33,000 BTU non-clog burners with cast-iron grates — keep large stock pots in the rear without losing front-side productivity.
  • 24" charbroiler (left) features removable, cast-iron grates for authentic grill marks and easy cleaning (64,000 BTU).
  • 32,000 BTU convection oven with battery spark ignition, 3 chrome racks & 5 position rails for full-size pans both ways.
  • 18" stainless cabinet base on the right keeps sheet pans, skillets, or spices within arm’s reach.
  • 22.5" flue riser with heavy-duty shelf — perfect for holding plated dishes or smallwares.
  • Front-mounted manual gas shut-off and factory-installed pressure regulator for safer, faster service calls.
  • 6" adjustable stainless steel legs (casters available) meet health-code clearance on combustible floors.
  • Fully welded stainless front, sides, and rail withstand daily spray-downs and the toughest rushes.
  • Certified CSA & NSF; ships with 1-year parts & labor warranty.

Engineered for Heavy-Duty Kitchens

  • Porcelain-enamel oven cavity with coved corners prevents hot spots and wipes clean fast.
  • Removable drip trays under the burner & charbroiler sections keep grease where it belongs.
  • Spring-assisted oven door closes smoothly, minimizing wear on hinges and seals.
  • Front rail holds serve-ware safely with a 4" deep stainless landing edge.
  • Field-install options: doors for cabinet, casters, salamander/cheesemelter mounts, quick-disconnect hose, and more.
Cleaning Tip: Do not cover the charbroiler grates with a sheet pan while burners are on. Reflected heat can damage the unit and is not covered under warranty.
