Gas Range With Griddle Top, 4 Open Burners, 24 In. Griddle, 35,000 BTU Oven","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Connerton CN48-4-24G is a 48 in. wide restaurant gas range that pairs four 32,000 BTU open burners in a two by two block on the left with a 24 in. wide, 1 in. thick polished steel griddle on the right, over a single 35,000 BTU Bake n' Roast oven that fits full size sheet pans. It is the even split for a full-menu restaurant, a sports bar, or a hotel kitchen that sears and sautés in pans as much as it works the flat top. On a Friday dinner of pan-seared chicken, sauces, and pasta water the four burners run four independent flames while the plate handles smashburgers and grilled sandwiches beside them. It carries one oven, so it is not built to bake and hold two different trays at two different temperatures at once. It stands on 6 in. adjustable legs, connects through a 3\/4 in. NPT gas inlet with the sized regulator included, and needs 6 in. rear and 10 in. side clearance from combustible walls, or 0 in. from non-combustible surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFour 32,000 BTU Open Top Burners on Heavy Duty Cast Iron Grates\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe left side of the top carries four open burners in a two by two block, each rated at 32,000 BTU, for 128,000 BTU\/hr of printed open-burner output. Every burner has its own manual valve on the front panel, so a stock pot can roll at full flame while the pan next to it holds a bare simmer. The burners sit under heavy duty cast iron grates, and the mass of the iron matters: it soaks up heat and keeps radiating into the pan in the seconds after you lift one skillet off and drop a cold one on, which is what shortens recovery between orders. The pilots are flash tube, one pilot per two burners, so the range is not burning a separate standing pilot under every burner all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e24 In. Wide, 1 In. Thick Highly Polished Steel Griddle Plate\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe right side of the top is a 24 in. wide griddle of highly polished 1 in. thick steel plate. A full inch of steel is the reason the surface temperature does not crash when a row of frozen patties or a ladle of batter hits it: the plate stores heat and gives it back to the food while the burners underneath catch up. The griddle burners are rated at 18,000 BTU\/hr each. The polished finish means less sticking on eggs and pancakes and a faster scrape-down with a bench scraper at the end of the shift. Connerton lists the 1 in. thick griddle option on this sheet at 12 in. to 36 in. wide, and on this model the 24 in. plate is the printed configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e35,000 BTU Bake N' Roast Oven That Fits a Full Size Sheet Pan\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelow the top sits a Bake n' Roast oven rated at 35,000 BTU and sized to take a full size sheet pan without turning it, which means trays move straight from the prep table into the oven. It is a standard oven rather than a convection oven, so a sheet pan of potatoes browns from the bottom heat and a pan of braised meat comes out without a fan drying the surface. The oven ships with one rack that can sit in any of three positions, low under a roast or high for a tray of rolls, and an extra rack is listed as an accessory when you want two levels loaded at once. A separate oven control on the front panel sets it independently of the burner valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStainless Steel Front, Sides and Riser With a 12 In. Stub Back and Lift-Off High Shelf\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe front, sides and riser are stainless steel, so the surfaces that take the splatter and the wipe-down chemicals are the ones that resist them. A 12 in. stainless steel stub back rises behind the cooking surface to catch what a hard sauté throws backward, and a lift-off high shelf sits on top of it for plates, sheet pans, or spice bins within reach; it lifts off for cleaning or for a low-hood install. The front edge carries a 5 1\/2 in. bullnose plate, which gives the cook a rounded lean rail and keeps pot handles off the valve knobs. Under the burners a full depth, pull out crumb tray collects what falls through the grates, and it slides out from the front so you never have to reach under the top. The range stands on 6 in. stainless steel adjustable legs, and a set of four casters is listed as an accessory. The drawn body is 48 in. wide, 33.9 in. deep including the shelf and rear connection, with the cooking surface at 35 in. and 58.2 in. tall to the top of the high shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e3\/4 In. Gas Line, Included Pressure Regulator and 6 In. Rear Clearance to Combustibles\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGas comes in through a 3\/4 in. NPT gas inlet; if you run a flexible connector, its inside diameter has to be 3\/4 in. or larger so the burners and oven are not starved at full fire. A pressure regulator sized for this unit is included, and the range runs on 5.0 in. W.C. natural gas or 10.0 in. W.C. propane, so specify the gas type when you order and the altitude if the kitchen sits above 2,000 ft. Set it 6 in. from a combustible wall at the rear and 10 in. at the sides, or 0 in. at both against non-combustible surfaces, run it under a ventilation system that meets NFPA 96, and keep it on the legs or casters supplied so air can reach the burners for proper combustion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connerton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52862021075229,"sku":"CN48-4-24G","price":5019.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/85128_CN48-4-24G_1_eb11bff1-7ae9-44a9-82ad-2b3040a02ff6.jpg?v=1788688594","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/connerton-cn48-4-24g-48-in-gas-range-with-griddle-top-4-open-burners-24-in-griddle-35-000-btu-oven","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
