Hestan Rangetop

The 500 BTU simmer setting is exceptionally low, allowing you to maintain delicate sauces, melt chocolate, or keep soups warm without the risk of scorching or breaking emulsions. It provides the precise, gentle heat control usually reserved for professional kitchens.

Yes, the griddle is powered by the unit's electrical connection, which requires a 15 Amp circuit breaker. This connection powers the electronic ignition, the automatic reignition system, and the thermostat control for the griddle surface.

Yes, the heavy-duty continuous cast-iron grates are designed to sit flush across the entire surface. This allows you to slide heavy pots and pans from one burner to another without lifting them, providing a safer and more efficient cooking experience.

The rangetop features an automatic reignition system that constantly monitors the flame. If a burner flame is accidentally extinguished by a draft or a spill, the system will immediately detect it and automatically reignite the burner for you.

The griddle is an integrated component of the rangetop, designed for stability and consistent heat distribution. While it is not removable, the stainless steel surface is durable and can be cleaned in place using standard stainless steel cleaners and a scraper.

Because this unit features high-output 23,000 BTU burners, you will need a professional-grade ventilation hood. It is recommended to install a hood that is at least the same width as the rangetop with sufficient CFM (cubic feet per minute) to effectively clear smoke, grease, and heat.
