Built for continuous service in high-volume kitchens, this heavy-duty natural gas range delivers robust thermal output and precise temperature control to support demanding production schedules. Operators benefit from a combined 96,000 BTU capacity that powers a thick .500" griddle plate and a convection oven, enabling simultaneous griddle work and oven baking without performance loss. Facilities that require NSF-certified, serviceable equipment receive a stainless-steel package designed for frequent use and simplified maintenance.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug gas supply and allow unit to cool fully. Scrape griddle with a stainless scraper, wipe with warm soapy water, rinse and dry. Remove oven racks; wash in warm, soapy water and dry before reinstalling. Clean condenser and flue riser shelf of grease buildup with degreaser. Use non-abrasive cleaner on stainless surfaces. Inspect seals and burners; replace worn parts. Regular cleaning prevents contamination, fires, inefficiency, and equipment failure.#@@#Additional Info#@#Southbend's 436A-3T-NG 36" Natural Gas Range delivers 96,000 BTU with a 36" griddle, thermostatic controls, standing pilot, convection oven, three racks, stainless steel exterior, and freestanding installation for commercial kitchens.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Built for continuous service in high-volume kitchens, this heavy-duty natural gas range delivers robust thermal output and precise temperature control to support demanding production schedules. Operators benefit from a combined 96,000 BTU capacity that powers a thick .500" griddle plate and a convection oven, enabling simultaneous griddle work and oven baking without performance loss. Facilities that require NSF-certified, serviceable equipment receive a stainless-steel package designed for frequent use and simplified maintenance.
#@@# Griddle Performance#@#
The .500" griddle plate offers substantial thermal mass and uniform heat transfer, reducing hot spots and sustaining consistent surface temperature during peak runs. Chefs achieve repeatable sear and cook results while the thermostatic controls maintain setpoints across extended service periods.
#@@# Convection Oven#@#
An integrated convection oven with battery spark ignition and three included racks provides airflow-driven baking and roasting capability for batch operations. The oven supports continuous throughput by delivering even internal temperatures and allowing simultaneous use of the griddle and oven functions.
#@@# Controls and Ignition#@#
Thermostatic controls paired with a standing pilot and battery spark ignition enable reliable startup and stable operation under variable load. Kitchen staff adjust setpoints precisely to match menu requirements while minimizing thermal overshoot during transitions.
#@@# Construction and Serviceability#@#
Stainless-steel front, sides, shelf, and a 22.5" flue riser with heavy-duty shelf combine durability with easy cleaning for institutional environments. The unit qualifies for manufacturer service programs, simplifying preventive maintenance and reducing downtime risk.
#@@# Installation and Stability#@#
Freestanding installation with 6" stainless-steel adjustable legs allows accurate leveling on uneven floors and straightforward placement in commercial layouts.
