GF60-6R24RR

Overview

The Garland GF60-6R24RR is a natural gas commercial range that brings open-burner cooking, a raised griddle/broiler and two standard ovens together in one 60-inch unit. Its six Starfire-Pro open burners provide 26,000 BTU each, while the complete range has a stated total input of 265,000 BTU. The raised griddle/broiler is on the right side. This arrangement supports a varied cooking line: operators can use the open burners for pots and pans, the raised section for griddling or broiling, and the ovens for baking, roasting and other oven work.

The product is identified as commercial cooking equipment and is not approved for residential use. Garland’s manual cautions that accessible parts can become hot during use and that young children should be kept away. It also says the appliance is for professional use by qualified personnel.

Key Features

• Six open burners: Each Starfire-Pro burner is rated at 26,000 BTU and uses a two-piece cast-iron burner design with split cast-iron grates.
• Raised griddle/broiler: The right-side 24-inch section adds another cooking method without replacing the six open burners. Garland notes that raised griddle/broiler sections are available only with Hi-Lo valve controls.
• Two standard ovens: The range includes two standard ovens with porcelain interiors, ribbed oven bottoms and oven doors. The oven burner is a heavy cast-iron H-style burner rated at 38,000 BTU.
• Flame-failure protection: The product specifications state that all burners have flame-failure protection. The manual describes the safety action: if a pilot goes out, the thermocouple stops generating its signal and the safety valve closes off the gas supply to the burner or pilot.
• Commercial construction: The listed construction includes a stainless steel front and sides, a 5-inch-wide front rail, and 6-inch legs with adjustable feet.

Installation & Requirements

This is a natural gas appliance. The manual instructs installers to use the gas type and supply pressure shown on the appliance rating plate and packaging. The rating plate is behind the lower front drop-down panel under the oven door, and it lists burner input rates. The manual identifies a 1-inch NPT rear gas connection for the 59.5-inch / 60-inch model family. Confirm the actual appliance rating plate and site gas supply before connection.

The manual identifies the range as commercial cooking equipment that must be installed by professional personnel and says it is not recommended for residential installation. It states that units are supplied with 6-inch legs unless specified for a different mounting arrangement, and that 48-inch and 60-inch units have legs factory mounted. It also specifies base mounting when the range is installed on a combustible floor. The product specifications list 6-inch legs with adjustable feet.

The provided material does not give a model-specific ventilation requirement or clearance dimensions for this installation, so none are stated here. The supplied manual cautions that ranges supplied with casters must be installed with an approved restraining device. Do not remove permanently attached labels, warnings or rating plates; the manual warns that doing so may invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.

Operation

Open burners

The manual’s GF Series lighting instructions begin with the open-burner valve knob. Push the knob in and turn it counter-clockwise to the ignition position. While holding it fully in, light the pilot with a match or BBQ ignition device. Once the pilot is lit, continue holding the knob in for at least 30 seconds, then release it. If the pilot goes out, wait five minutes before repeating the lighting steps. When the pilot remains lit, push the knob in again and turn it counter-clockwise to the desired flame setting.

To turn off an open burner while leaving its pilot lit, turn the dial to the ignition position. To turn off both the burner and pilot, turn the dial to the off symbol. The manual says the safety device disengages within 60 seconds. It also cautions operators not to light pilots or continue operating the range if a valve binds or malfunctions.

Standard ovens

For the standard oven, the manual instructs the operator to lower the front kick panel below the oven door and raise the oven hearth bottom to access the pilot. Turn the oven control knob to the ignition position and push it in to allow gas through the safety device to the pilot. While holding the knob in, light the pilot with a match or BBQ lighter, or use spark ignition if provided. Continue holding the knob in for 15 seconds after ignition, then release it. If the pilot does not light or stay lit, wait five minutes and repeat the lighting steps.

After the pilot remains lit, replace the hearth or close the kick panel, then turn the oven thermostat to the desired cooking temperature. When operating an oven, use caution opening its door: the manual warns that hot air or steam can cause injury. The provided information gives a standard oven range from low to 500°F.

Raised griddle/broiler

The product information identifies the raised griddle/broiler as a Hi-Lo-control section. Follow the operating instructions supplied with the appliance and its specific control arrangement. The provided manual excerpt does not include a model-specific raised griddle/broiler lighting sequence, so no additional lighting steps are specified here.

Cleaning & Maintenance

The manual’s stainless-steel cleaning instructions call for washing a small area at a time with a hot water and detergent solution, rinsing with a clean sponge dipped in sanitizing solution, and drying with a soft, clean cloth before the surface dries. If a mild scouring-powder paste is needed, rub with the polish lines rather than against the grain, then rinse and dry as described. The manual cautions against using stainless-steel polish that leaves an oily or waxy film on surfaces that contact food.

For heavy grease or oil deposits, the manual permits stainless steel, wood or plastic tools. It warns against ordinary steel scrapers and knives because iron particles can become embedded and rust, and explicitly says never to use steel wool. It notes that overheating can discolour stainless steel and that vigorous rubbing with a scouring-powder paste can usually remove these stains. A typical bleach solution or hot water may be used to sanitize stainless steel.

The manual warns that grates must be seasoned after cleaning; failure to season them can cause rusting. For oven-interior cleaning, it says to remove oven racks and guides before cleaning. It also notes that a line cord, if applicable, should be disconnected from the power supply before cleaning or servicing. The supplied excerpt does not provide the complete oven-cleaning procedure, so follow the full manual for remaining steps. Garland’s manual cautions that maintenance and repairs must be performed by a Garland authorized service agent using genuine Garland replacement parts.

Troubleshooting

• Open-burner pilot goes out: The manual says to wait five minutes before repeating the lighting procedure.
• Oven pilot fails to light or stay lit: Wait five minutes, then repeat the oven-pilot lighting steps.
• Ignition continues to fail: For the manual’s spark-ignition instructions, turn the burner valve off and repeat the lighting steps; if ignition continues to fail, consult the factory-authorized service agency.
• Valve or thermostat binds or malfunctions: Do not light the pilots or continue operation until an authorized service technician has inspected the appliance. The manual warns that continued operation may result in injury.
• Pilot goes out during operation: The flame-failure system stops the safety-valve magnet from holding the valve open, closing the gas supply to the burner or pilot.

The manual directs that maintenance and repairs use genuine Garland replacement parts and be performed by a Garland authorized service agent.

Applications

The GF60-6R24RR suits commercial kitchens that need several cooking methods in one range footprint. Its six open burners can support concurrent pot-and-pan cooking, while the right-side raised griddle/broiler adds a dedicated area for griddling and broiling. Two standard ovens provide separate oven spaces for items such as baked dishes, roasted foods and prepared components. This combination can serve restaurant lines, institutional kitchens and other professional foodservice operations with varied à la carte or batch-cooking needs.
