The heart of practically every restaurant kitchen cooking line is the stove. A good range is where you sauté, boil, simmer and bake a large proportion of your menu items. The Imperial IR-6 36” commercial 6-burner range with standard oven makes an efficient and versatile addition to any kitchen. Six burners with heavy-duty cast iron grates that let pans slide easily from one burner to another give you plenty of space to work. The grates are even larger in back than in front to handle large stock pots without crowding.

The cast iron burners with PyroCentric anti-clogging technology provide plenty of heat at 32,000 BTU/hr. each. And each can simmer smaller pans with a 7,000 BTU/hr. inner ring. There’s one standing pilot light for each burner for instant ignition. The burners lift off separately for cleaning, too.

This commercial 6-burner gas stove comes with a standard oven in name only. Bake, roast, brown and warm in this chef-friendly oven. The oven has a linear 35,000 BTU/hr. burner with a unique burner baffle that provides even heat distribution throughout the cavity. A heat deflector beneath the burner directs heat up into the oven where it belongs, not down at the floor. The Chef Depth cavity itself is a generous 26-1/2” x 26” to let you put full size sheet pans inside in either direction. The oven interior sides, rear, deck and door lining all are fired with porcelain to make cleaning easier, and the stamped inner door liner provides extra strength as well as heat retention. For safety, the oven pilot light has a 100 percent safety valve that shuts off the gas to both the pilot light and main burner if the pilot light goes out. A chrome wire oven rack is included.

The IR-6 may be an industrial gas stove with standard oven, but it’s as handsome and well built as it’s utilitarian. It’s constructed with heavy-duty stainless steel front, sides, kick plate and 3-1/2” landing ledge with welded and polished stainless steel seams. Large, easy-grip control knobs are durable cast aluminum, and there’s a full-width removable, slide-out crumb tray under the burners to make clean-up easier. The range stands on 6” stainless steel legs with adjustable feet.

Imperial’s Pro Series IR-6 36” 6-burner range with standard oven comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty.
