Description

Southbend “Ultimate” 60″ Gas Restaurant Range

4 Star/Sauté Burners • 36″ Thermostatic Griddle (Left) • Convection Oven & Cabinet Base

Built for kitchens that refuse to compromise, the Southbend Ultimate 60″ range marries blazing-fast sauté power, a full-size thermostatic griddle, and a bakery-grade convection oven—all wrapped in heavy-gauge stainless steel. With 228,000 BTU of total output, this single piece of equipment can replace an entire cook line while delivering the consistency today’s high-volume operations demand.

Why You’ll Love It

  • 4 Star/Sauté Burners – 33,000 BTU each: cast-iron, clog-free design with a wide flame pattern for even heat distribution and lightning-fast pan work.
  • 36″ Thermostatic Griddle (left): ½″ smooth, polished steel plate with 175 °F-550 °F snap-action thermostat for all-day searing, grilling, or breakfast service.
  • Commercial Convection Oven (right): 32,000 BTU, porcelain-enamel interior (14″H × 26″W × 24″D) with 3 chrome racks and 5 rack positions; battery-spark ignition for easy starts.
  • Stainless Cabinet Base: built-in storage keeps sheet pans, pots, and smallwares within arm’s reach.
  • 22.5″ Flue Riser & Shelf: heavy-duty landing shelf doubles as plate staging or keep-warm zone.
  • One-Touch Shutdown: front-mounted manual gas shut-off instantly kills fuel to the entire range in an emergency.
  • Rugged Construction: stainless steel front, sides, and 4″ front rail; removable cast-iron grates; 6″ adjustable stainless legs.
  • Simple Serviceability: standing pilots on open burners plus factory-installed pressure regulator and battery-spark oven ignition reduce downtime.
