Hestan KRT485GD-NG Rangetop

The CircuFlame center burner is designed for high-heat tasks like rapid boiling or searing. It provides significantly more power than standard residential burners, allowing you to achieve restaurant-quality results quickly.

The griddle is made from 1/4-inch thick stainless steel, which is durable and retains heat well. Like any professional-grade stainless surface, it should be cleaned while warm with a scraper or non-abrasive pad to prevent buildup, and it does not require the seasoning process that cast-iron griddles do.

While the grates are heavy-duty and durable, they are generally too large and heavy for standard dishwashers. It is best to clean them in the sink with warm, soapy water and a stiff brush to maintain their finish.

Because this unit features high-output burners, it is strongly recommended to pair it with a professional-grade ventilation hood that matches the 48-inch width of the rangetop. Ensure your hood has sufficient CFM (cubic feet per minute) to handle the heat and grease output of a commercial-style appliance.

Yes, the dual-flow burner system is engineered for versatility. It allows you to dial down the flame to a very gentle, continuous simmer, which is ideal for delicate sauces or melting chocolate without scorching.
