Description

Southbend Ultimate 48″ Restaurant Range

4 Open Burners • 24″ Right-Side Griddle • Convection Oven & Cabinet Base

Engineered for the busiest commercial kitchens, the Southbend Ultimate 48″ Series combines the power of four lifetime-clog-free burners, a full-size 24″ griddle, high-performance convection baking, and built-in storage—all in one heavy-duty, stainless-steel range.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Four 33,000 BTU non-clog cast-iron burners with standing pilots—rear grates accept stock pots up to 14″.
  • 24″ griddle (right side) with ½″ polished steel plate and raised sides for superior heat retention and easy cleaning.
  • 32,000 BTU natural-gas convection oven (left base) with battery-spark ignition, 5-position rack guides, and three chrome racks included.
  • 18″ stainless cabinet base (right) keeps sheet pans, smallwares, or seasoning blends at arm’s reach.
  • 22½″ flue riser with integrated heavy-duty shelf—perfect for holding sauté pans or spices while keeping the worktop clear.
  • Front-mounted manual gas shut-off simplifies daily opening/closing procedures.
  • Factory-installed ¾″ pressure regulator and 6″ adjustable stainless legs (optional casters available).
  • Rugged, all-stainless exterior (front, sides, shelf & riser) stands up to years of high-volume service.
  • Independently certified cCSAus, CSA Flame, CSA Star & NSF for gas safety, sanitation, and performance.
