Southbend “Ultimate” 60" Gas Restaurant Range

4 Star/Sauté Burners | 36" Charbroiler (Left) | Convection Oven + Cabinet Base

Engineered for high-volume kitchens that refuse to compromise, the Southbend Ultimate Series combines rugged construction, powerful 33 K BTU star burners, a true 36" charbroiler, and a full-size convection oven into one 60" workhorse. From searing and sautéing to char-grilling and baking, this range delivers 260,000 BTU of precision performance that helps chefs move faster and cook better—shift after shift.

Highlights

  • Four 33,000 BTU cast-iron star/​sauté burners for even flame distribution and swift pan-to-pan moves.
  • Heavy-duty 36" charbroiler (left-side) with standing pilots—ideal for steaks, burgers, and signature grill marks.
  • 32,000 BTU convection oven with battery-spark ignition, 3 nickel-plated racks, and 5 rack positions.
  • Right-side stainless steel cabinet base keeps sheet pans, utensils, or spices within arm’s reach.
  • 22-1/2" flue riser with integrated shelf for safe plate holding or seasoning storage.
  • 6" adjustable stainless steel legs for easy leveling on uneven floors.
  • Front-mounted gas shut-off and factory-installed regulator simplify installation and service.
  • All-stainless front, sides, shelf, and rail resist corrosion and wipe clean in seconds.
  • Certified CSA & NSF for worry-free code compliance.
  • Backed by Southbend’s 1-year parts & labor warranty.
