Description
A 36" plancha griddle over a 45,000 BTU standard oven, 36" wide.
The Southbend Platinum P36D-PPP is a 36" heavy-duty sectional range for restaurants, hotels and institutional kitchens that build a custom cooking line. The top has a 36" plancha griddle. Below is a 45,000 BTU standard oven that takes sheet pans either way. Natural-gas input totals 93,000 BTU. It connects with a 1" rear gas connection or couples to neighboring sections through its 1-1/4" front manifold, and needs an external pressure regulator.

Plancha griddle
A raised 1/2" thick reinforced steel plate, 29-3/4" wide, with a high-heat zone up to 800°F on the front two-thirds and lower heat at the rear for finishing. 3 cast iron burners at 16,000 BTU each (15,500 on propane); manual control.
Easy to clean
The raised plate and 3" collection areas on each side let you scrape the plate clean between loads into an increased-capacity grease drawer.
Standard oven
A 45,000 BTU oven with standing pilot and an "Insta-On" thermostat from 175°F to 550°F. The porcelain enamel interior is 26" wide and 26-1/2" deep, so sheet pans fit either way; 2 racks.
Built for a battery
A 1-1/4" front gas manifold couples to neighboring Platinum sections, and the unit can sit anywhere in a line-up; an end unit gets a solid side. Stainless steel front, sides, rear and exterior bottom.

Questions buyers ask
Will sheet pans fit in the oven?
Yes. The standard oven interior is 26" wide, 26-1/2" deep and 14" high, so full-size sheet pans fit either way. It comes with 2 racks and has five rack positions.
Natural gas or propane?
Southbend sets the range for one gas at the factory, so tell us your gas type when ordering. Natural gas: 93,000 BTU in total; propane: 91,500 BTU.
Do I need a pressure regulator?
Yes. All Platinum sectional units need a regulated gas supply, and Southbend's spec sheet says the pressure regulator must be ordered separately. Ask us to add it to your order.
What gas hookup does it need?
A 1" rear gas connection with a male NPT connector, or the 1-1/4" front manifold when it is coupled to other sections. Minimum supply pressure is 7" W.C. for natural gas and 11" W.C. for propane.
Does it need electricity?
Not with the standard standing-pilot oven. Southbend lists 120V or 208/240V single-phase power only for ovens ordered with optional electronic ignition.
How close can it go to a wall?
10" sides and 12" rear from combustible construction, 0" from noncombustible. Southbend recommends installing it under a vented hood.
Can I set a temperature on the plancha?
No. Southbend notes that plancha units do not allow specific temperature operation: the front two-thirds of the plate runs up to 800°F and the rear third is cooler for finishing.
What does the warranty cover?
Southbend covers defects in parts and labor for 1 year from purchase, serviced by a Southbend Authorized Service Agency, and no longer than 18 months from the factory. Spark igniters, seals and similar wear parts are limited to 90 days, and damage from improper installation, ventilation or misuse is not covered.
