Ultimate 48" Gas Restaurant Range
4 Open Burners • 24" Charbroiler (Left) • Convection Oven & Cabinet BaseBuilt 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.
