Ideal Applications

  • Independent & chain restaurants
  • Steakhouses and gastro-pubs
  • High-volume catering kitchens
  • Hotel or resort cooklines needing maximum menu flexibility in minimal space
Important: Charbroiler grates must not be covered with sheet pans during cleaning or operation—doing so can cause severe heat damage and void the warranty. For safest performance, keep oversized (12"+) stock pots on the rear burners.
