S-Series Restaurant Range Design

The Southbend S-Series is a value-focused restaurant range that keeps the essentials of a commercial range: stainless steel front, sides and removable shelf, a 4" front rail with welded end caps and a factory-installed pressure regulator. It is offered in 24", 36", 48" and 60" widths with combinations of open burners, griddles and hot tops.

Open burners are Southbend's patented one-piece cast iron non-clog design, carried under a lifetime burner warranty, with individual cast iron grates and a removable one-piece crumb drawer underneath. Oven bases use a snap-action thermostat adjustable from 175°F to 550°F with a flame failure safety device, giving dependable baking and roasting capacity below the cooktop.
