Built for the Realities of the Line

  • Cast-iron burner bowls and drip trays lift out for fast end-of-shift cleanup.
  • Rear grates support stock pots up to 14″ Ø without stealing front-line space.
  • Battery ignition keeps the oven lighting even during a power outage.
  • Oversized front rail stays cool and doubles as a plating ledge.
Important: This appliance is intended for commercial installation under a properly sized vent hood. Follow local codes. For best results, keep oversized cookware (12″ Ø +) on the rear burners to protect front-rail components.
