GFE60-10RR

Overview

The Garland GFE60-10RR is a 60-inch G-Series commercial gas range with ten open burners and two standard ovens. It brings substantial stovetop capacity and oven space together in one appliance, making it a practical configuration for busy restaurant and institutional kitchens that need to cook several items at once. The range is part of Garland’s GFE Starfire Pro series.

Each open burner is rated at 26,000 BTU/hr. The two standard ovens have porcelain interiors and large cavities that accommodate standard sheet pans in either direction. On natural gas, the range has a total input of 336,000 BTU/hr; the propane total is 324,000 BTU/hr.

Installation & Requirements

Confirm the gas type and supply pressure against the appliance rating plate and packaging before installation. The manual states that the factory setup gas type must be used. The rating plate is behind the lower front drop-down panel beneath the oven door. This model has a 1-in. NPT rear gas connection and regulator. Its listed manifold operating pressures are 4.5 in. WC for natural gas and 10.0 in. WC for propane.

The GFE electrical configuration specified at 115 V, 60 Hz, single phase draws 0.1 A and is supplied with a 6-ft. cord and NEMA 5-15P plug. The specification sheet also identifies a 240 V, 50 Hz, single-phase option that draws 0.05 A and is supplied without a cord; confirm the ordered electrical configuration rather than assuming it. The electric ignition requires the specified electrical supply.

Operation

Open burners

The Garland GF Series manual describes lighting the open-top burners by pushing in the burner valve knob and turning it counterclockwise to the ignition position. While holding the knob in, light the pilot; on equipment fitted with electric spark ignition, press the igniter button and check that the pilot lights. When the pilot is lit, continue holding the knob in for at least 30 seconds, then release it. Push the knob in again and turn it counterclockwise to the desired flame setting to light the burner. If ignition does not occur within four seconds on an electric-spark-equipped burner, the manual says to turn the burner valve off and repeat the lighting steps. If ignition continues to fail, consult a factory-authorized service agency.

To turn off a 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 circular OFF symbol. The manual says the safety device disengages within 60 seconds.

Standard ovens

For oven-pilot access, the manual instructs the operator to lower the front kick panel beneath the oven door and raise the oven hearth bottom. Turn the oven control knob to the pilot 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 for 15 seconds after ignition, then release it; the pilot should remain lit. If it fails to light or stay lit, wait five minutes before repeating the steps. Replace the hearth or close the kick panel, then turn the oven thermostat to the desired cooking temperature. To shut down the main oven burner, turn the control knob to the position specified in the manual; to shut down the pilot, push in the oven thermostat knob and turn it to the pilot-off symbol. The manual says the system disengages within 60 seconds.

The manual cautions operators not to light pilots or continue operating the appliance if a valve or thermostat control is binding or malfunctioning. An authorized service technician should inspect it. Accessible parts can become hot during use, so the manual says to keep young children away. The appliance is for professional use by qualified personnel.

Cleaning & Maintenance

For routine stainless steel cleaning, the manual recommends washing a small area at a time with hot water and detergent so water does not evaporate and leave chemicals behind. Rinse with a clean sponge dipped in sanitizing solution, then dry with a soft, clean cloth. If a paste of water and mild scouring powder is needed, rub with the polish lines rather than across the grain, and rinse the surface afterward. Stainless steel polish that leaves an oily or waxy film should not be used on food-contact surfaces.

The manual says overheated stainless steel may discolour; such stains can usually be removed by vigorous rubbing with a scouring-powder paste. For scraping heavy grease or oil deposits, use stainless steel, wood or plastic tools. Do not use ordinary steel scrapers or knives, which can leave iron particles that rust, and never use steel wool. The manual identifies a typical bleach solution or hot water as options for sanitizing stainless steel.

Before cleaning the oven interior, disconnect the line cord if applicable. The manual directs operators to remove oven racks and, on an RC base, the guides before cleaning the porcelain-enamel interior. For this standard-oven configuration, the product details also identify removable three-position rack guides for cleaning. Follow the manual for the applicable base and interior components.

Applications

With ten separately controlled open burners and two standard ovens, the GFE60-10RR suits commercial kitchens that need several pots or pans cooking at once while baking or roasting in the ovens. The oven interiors accommodate standard sheet pans in either direction, and the two ovens allow separate oven loads to be handled within the same range footprint. Its stated commercial use is professional foodservice; the manufacturer’s manual does not recommend residential installation.
