Ranges are the jack of all trades of commercial kitchen equipment – you can use them to bake, roast, broil, boil, grill, warm, fry, simmer and saute – but that means you might be quite literally putting all your eggs in one basket. When your American Range range is not working, it means your customers are not eating and your profits are not growing.
To preserve brand reputation and retain customer loyalty, Parts Town has written up a little guide on American Range range troubleshooting for models, such as AR-6, SPSH-18, ARSM-36, ARR-530 and more.
