Key Features
Island Trim Backguard Included
If you are using an island trim or grate height, a 6" clearance between the back of the range and a combustible surface is required.
NOVA, ULTRANOVA and Simmer Burners
Their cast iron porcelain-enameled NOVA and ULTRANOVA top burners are the most versatile burners in the industry.
The Nova burner provides up to 15,000 BTUs of cooking power.
For that extra boost, the ULTRANOVA delivers an amazing 22,000 BTUs; a rapid boil or superior saute is never a problem!
When using their gentle 130°F simmer feature, delicate sauces and soups are made simple with superior temperature control and flame disbursement.
12" Griddle
Convection Oven Cooking
The cavity design of the oven and the convection fan system result in the most complete exchange of air possible.
This provides incredibly precise, even heat distribution.
It provides extra large oven capacity on a 48" range and will accommodate a full-size commercial 18" x 26" baking sheet and an 18" x 13" baking sheet for the smaller oven.
Infrared Broiler
Because of its popularity in the commercial market, the direct-fired ceramic infrared broiler is standard on all residential ranges.
The large burner produces 1,850°F of intense, searing heat close to the burner, while effecting a gentler broiling for foods placed farther away.
The broiler is fully recessed into the oven's top to create maximum cooking space.
Full Motion Grates
Bring sauce to a boil while stirring on a front burner, then slide it to the rear to simmer while you saute up front!
Their full motion grates allow you to easily reposition pots and pans from front to rear burners without lifting.
The grates are also oversized to accommodate the largest stock pots and saute pans.
