Know before you buy
Yes, this unit is LP convertible. It comes with an included conversion kit, allowing you to switch from natural gas to liquid propane during installation.
The chrome-infused electric griddle offers superior heat distribution and retention, making it ideal for consistent searing and browning. Because it is built-in and electrically heated, it frees up your gas burners for other cooking tasks while providing a dedicated, flat surface for pancakes, eggs, or proteins.
These burners provide a high output of 20,000 BTUs, which is essential for rapid boiling or high-heat searing. The dual-flame design allows for precise heat control, giving you the flexibility to dial down to a lower flame for gentler cooking without losing the power needed for heavy-duty tasks.
This safety feature automatically detects if a burner flame has been extinguished—perhaps by a breeze or a boil-over—and immediately attempts to relight it. It ensures your cooking continues uninterrupted and prevents unburned gas from accumulating.
While the grates are durable, they are heavy and large due to the 48-inch size of the unit. It is generally recommended to clean them by hand with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive scrub brush to maintain the finish and prevent potential damage to your dishwasher racks.
Yes, this rangetop includes a dedicated 5,000 BTU Simmer & Melt burner. It is specifically calibrated to provide the low, steady heat required for delicate tasks like melting chocolate, simmering sauces, or keeping soups warm without scorching.
