Stop sacrificing throughput for finish. This range-mount cheesemelter combines concentrated infrared heat with a durable stainless-steel enclosure to ensure consistent melting and browning across full sheet loads, maintaining output during continuous service periods. Designed for busy kitchens, the unit installs over a 36-inch range and offers rapid-start performance for predictable results and controlled browning.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug the cheesemelter and shut off gas. Remove the rack; wash in warm, soapy water and dry before reinstalling. Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cloth. Clean infrared burners with a soft brush; avoid harsh solvents. Clear vents and grease traps daily. Inspect seals and fittings weekly; tighten or replace as needed. Regular cleaning prevents contamination, reduces breakdown risk, lowers energy use, and helps pass CSA and NSF inspections.#@@#Additional Info#@#Montague’s CM36-HB 36" range-mount LegendCheesemelter delivers 32,000 BTU via infrared burners, mounts to a heavy-duty range, and features stainless steel, a three-position rack, manual controls, Natural Gas operation, and NSF and CSA certifications.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Stop sacrificing throughput for finish. This range-mount cheesemelter combines concentrated infrared heat with a durable stainless-steel enclosure to ensure consistent melting and browning across full sheet loads, maintaining output during continuous service periods.

#@@# Infrared Rapid Start#@#
Infrared burners ignite quickly and provide focused radiant heat for uniform melting and surface browning. Operators achieve repeatable results, minimize rework, and restore product appearance within seconds, supporting continuous service without lengthy recovery times.
#@@# High Heat Output#@#
The unit generates 32,000 BTU total, delivering intense thermal energy for fast top-side finishing on cheese, gratins, and sauces. Chefs reduce hold times and maintain line pace while preserving texture and preventing overcooking underneath.
#@@# Stainless Steel Exterior#@#
The stainless steel front, sides, top, and bottom create a cleanable, corrosion-resistant exterior suitable for commercial environments. Staff can clean surfaces quickly between shifts, ensuring sanitation standards and visual consistency in both front- and back-of-house areas.
#@@# Adjustable Rack Positions#@#
A bright nickel rack features three positions that allow operators to control proximity to the heat source for varying browning intensity. Teams can adapt quickly to product requirements, from gentle melting to rapid caramelization, without needing to change equipment.
#@@# Range Mount Design#@#
Range-mounted installation places the melter directly above cooking zones, saving counter space and enabling immediate transfer from range to finish. Technicians secure the unit to standard 36-inch ranges, reducing footprint and shortening production flow paths.
