Why Operators Love the Ultimate Series
  • Lifetime-warranty, lift-out burners simplify cleaning and never clog.
  • Coved, porcelain-enameled oven cavity resists corrosion and bakes evenly.
  • Cool-touch front rail doubles as a landing shelf for sauté pans and plating.
  • Proudly manufactured in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina since 1898.
Installation note: Install under a vented hood and connect to a ¾" gas line with adequate supply. For floors other than quarry tile, consult Southbend for approved mounting solutions.
