Venancio R24CO-24B 24 In. Restaurant Series Gas Range, 4 Non-Clog Burners, Convection Oven, Standing Pilot

The Venancio R24CO-24B is a 24 inch wide Restaurant Series gas range that puts four two-piece cast iron non-clog burners over a full-size convection oven. It suits a compact line, a cafe kitchen, or a station that needs a second oven without giving up burner space. Each burner delivers 32,000 BTU on natural gas or 30,000 BTU on propane, so a stock pot comes to a boil and a saute pan recovers quickly after a cold protein hits it. The oven below runs on a snap action thermostat from 175 °F to 550 °F, holds an 18 x 26 inch sheet pan, and moves air with a two-speed fan for even browning across three racks. It ships with a stainless steel single shelf flue riser, an installation kit with pressure regulating valve, and a propane conversion kit, and it installs on a 3/4 inch NPT rear gas connection with 120 V power for the fan.

Four Cast Iron Non-Clog Burners at 32,000 BTU

The two-piece cast iron burner is the reason cooks buy this line. Spilled stock and boilovers do not block the ports the way they do on a one-piece drilled burner, so the flame pattern stays even shift after shift. Each burner has its own adjustable standing pilot and an independent manual valve, so you can hold a simmer on one grate while another runs wide open under a wok or a pasta pot. Heavy-duty 12 x 12 inch cast iron grates lift off for cleaning, and the welded and sealed stainless steel crumb tray underneath catches drips without seams that trap grease.

Convection Oven with Dynamic Airflow Technology

The oven cavity measures 18 1/2 inches wide by 26 1/2 inches deep by 14 inches high, which is the standard bakery depth Venancio uses across the range line, so a full sheet pan slides in without turning it. The patented Dynamic Airflow Technology fan balances air across the cavity and runs on high or low, and you can switch the fan off to bake like a standard oven when a delicate custard or a souffle needs still heat. Three heavy-duty 3/8 inch diameter wire racks sit in five positions. The double-sided enamel cavity wipes clean, interior lighting lets you check color through the door, and the counterweight-balanced door stays where you leave it instead of slamming on a hot pan. The oven burner is rated 30,000 BTU on natural gas or 27,000 BTU on propane, lights by piezo spark ignition, and has a 100 percent safety shutoff.

14 Gauge Fully Welded Interlocking Frame

The frame is 14 gauge steel, fully welded and interlocked rather than bolted, so the range does not rack or loosen when it gets pushed back against the wall or leveled on an uneven floor. The front and sides are stainless steel, the knobs are chrome-plated aluminum that stay cooler than plastic near an open flame, and the 6 inch chrome-plated steel legs adjust to level the cooktop. A stainless steel flex gas tube runs throughout the unit, and a 7 inch stainless steel plate rail across the front gives cooks a place to stage plates or rest a spoon.

Stainless Steel Flue Riser and Lift-Off Shelf

The single shelf flue riser brings the total height to 60 inches and carries a lift-off heavy-duty stainless shelf for holding plates, sauce pans, or a hotel pan of finished product above the burners. The riser directs oven exhaust up and away from the cook. A stubback riser is available as an option for installations under a low hood or a wall-mounted shelf, which brings the height to 40 inches.

Gas and Electrical Requirements

The range connects at the rear through a 3/4 inch NPT fitting with a pressure regulator for either natural gas at 4 inch W.C. manifold pressure or propane at 10 inch W.C. Total gas input is 128,000 BTU on natural gas or 120,000 BTU on propane for the four top burners, plus the oven. The convection fan runs on 120 V single phase, draws 3.3 amps on low and 3.7 amps on high, and needs a 5 amp circuit. Specify natural gas or propane when ordering, and check altitude specifications for installations above 2,000 feet.
