Cafe Rangetops

Café Rangetops at Plesser's Appliances

Café rangetops, available at Plesser's Appliances, are the professional cooking surface of a Café range without the oven beneath, installed above a cabinet run with the oven placed at working height elsewhere.

Rangetop vs. Cooktop
A cooktop drops into a countertop cutout and sits shallow, preserving drawer space below. A rangetop is deeper and taller, with a raised surface, full professional control depth, and typically higher output, installed above a cabinet rather than into a countertop. This determines the cabinetry design, so settle it before millwork.

High Output With Simmer Control
Rangetops sit at the top of the output range, which makes low-end control matter more rather than less since it is what keeps a high-output surface usable for delicate work. Confirm burner count and both high and low output figures for your width.

Griddle Options
Wider rangetops offer an integrated griddle in combination with burners, fixed at the factory. A griddle changes weekend breakfast in a way an additional burner does not. Because configuration cannot be changed later, this is an order-time decision.

Professional Look, Customizable Hardware
The raised surface, heavy grates, and full-depth control panel give a rangetop the look of commercial equipment, and Café's interchangeable knobs in brushed stainless, black, bronze, and copper let that look be tuned to the room. Coordinate with the hood at order.

Ventilation, Clearance, and Installation Planning
Rangetops produce high output and require ventilation sized to that output, adequate clearance to combustibles and to any wall behind, and a cabinet run built to the unit's specific dimensions.
