Viking Rangetops

Viking Rangetops at Plesser's Appliances

Viking rangetops, available at Plesser's Appliances, are the professional cooking surface of a Viking range without the oven beneath, installed above a cabinet run with the oven placed at working height elsewhere. Offered across the 5 and 7 Series in multiple widths.

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.

Full Output With VariSimmer
Rangetops sit at the top of Viking's output range, which makes low-end control matter more rather than less. VariSimmer holds a genuinely low, even flame on every burner rather than cycling, keeping a high-output surface usable for delicate work instead of only for high heat. Confirm burner count and both high and low output.

Griddle, Grill, and Specialty Surfaces
Rangetops offer the deepest surface configuration choice in the lineup, with griddle, grill, and specialty surface options in combination with burners depending on width. A grill surface changes what you can do indoors; a griddle changes weekend breakfast. Because configuration is fixed at the factory, this is an order-time decision.

Professional Appearance
The raised surface, heavy cast iron grates, and full-depth control panel give a rangetop the unmistakable look of commercial equipment, with Viking's color and trim program. In an open kitchen this is a deliberate design statement, so coordinate the hood and adjacent units accordingly.

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. A grill surface raises ventilation requirements further. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about width, surface configuration, gas supply, and hood capacity together.
