Description

Southbend Ultimate Series 48" Gas Restaurant Range w/ 36" Thermostatic Griddle & Dual Space-Saver Ovens

Model 448EE • 220,000 BTU • Natural/LP

Power, precision and flexibility—packed into a 48-inch footprint. The Southbend Ultimate Series gives chefs a rugged 36" thermostatic griddle for pancakes, burgers and sears, two high-output non-clog burners for sauces and stock, and a pair of full-featured ovens for baking or finishing. Fewer steps on the line, faster ticket times for you.

Key Features

  • 36" smooth, ½" polished steel griddle plate on the left with independent thermostatic control (175 – 550 °F).
  • (2) 33,000 BTU open top non-clog burners with removable cast-iron grates—rear grate holds up to a 14" stock pot.
  • (2) 45,000 BTU space-saver ovens with battery spark ignition; each ships with a rack and fits full-size pans front-to-back.
  • Total output: 220,000 BTU (field convertible for Natural or Propane gas).
  • 22 ½" flue riser with heavy-duty shelf keeps plating and garnishes within arm’s reach.
  • All-stainless front, sides, shelf & 6" adjustable legs—built for easy wipe-downs and long service life.
  • Front-mounted manual gas shut-off valve and factory-installed regulator streamline installation.
  • Battery-spark ignition for ovens means no electrical connection is required.

Why Operators Love It

  • Lifetime non-clog cast-iron burner design minimizes downtime and service calls.
  • Coved, fully porcelain-enamel oven cavities wipe clean—no hidden corners or seams.
  • NSF listed and CSA Flame/Star certified for peace-of-mind inspections.
  • Backed by Southbend’s 1-year parts & labor warranty and nationwide service network.
