As part of Imperial's Pro Series, it is designed for full-service restaurants that need durable construction, high-output cooking performance, and versatile kitchen equipment in a compact footprint. Imperial lists the IR-6 natural gas model with a standard oven and 227,000 total BTUs.

Six Burners for Greater Cooking Capacity
During busy service, having enough burner space can make a major difference in kitchen workflow.
The IR-6 provides six open burners, allowing chefs to prepare multiple menu items simultaneously. This flexibility helps support busy operations where several pots and pans may need to be cooking at the same time.
Workflow Benefits:

- Supports multiple cooking tasks at once
- Helps increase production capacity
- Keeps essential cooking equipment in one central location
- Useful for fast-paced restaurant service
Standard Oven Adds More Versatility
The range's standard oven expands its capabilities beyond the cooktop. Instead of requiring separate equipment for basic oven cooking, operators can use the IR-6 for both top-of-range cooking and oven applications.
Imperial lists the natural gas IR-6 with one standard oven as part of its 36-inch Pro Series range configuration.
Use the Oven For:
- Baking
- Roasting
- Finishing dishes

- Preparing menu items that require oven cooking
Combining a six-burner cooktop with a standard oven can help kitchens make better use of available space.
Built for Full-Service Restaurant Kitchens

For a busy kitchen, durable equipment matters. A range must handle repeated use, heat, spills, and the demands of daily food production. The IR-6 is designed as a commercial restaurant range for exactly this type of environment.
Compact 36-Inch Footprint, Full Cooking Capability
Kitchen space is valuable, particularly when operators need multiple pieces of equipment within a limited cooking line.
