The following two units combine to form this Range:
The B72 base units (here shown as the bottom piece) are available in many combinations. They can provide storage options only (B72-T) or can conceal an oven in an island sized workstation. Or combined with TP72 units, they can become a complete range, concealing microwave and thermal ovens while revealing a discrete glass cooktop that can be used as a worktop when its burners are not being used. This unit is similar to our B40 unit, but it includes two flanking stacks of drawers that are intended to store cooking vessels, utensils and even spices. If space is not a problem, AC29-SIDE units can attach to the sides of this range, adding extra butcher block or stone surfaces to the workspace.
When selecting these units, pay particular attention to the cooktops that are available. Only selected YT units can be used above gas cooktops, so if you need a gas cooktop, downdraft and modular models can be used or a hood above can be ordered. Also note the various storage options behind the center doors for the units that don't utilize ovens.
Most non-commercial ovens (up to 30") that are rated for installation under a cooktop can be used. Typically, this requires the ovens and cooktops to be rated by U.L. to be compatible with each other, which usually means that the appliances must be made by the same manufacturer. See our Product Selection Instructions for ordering appliances that are not shown on our Appliance Selection Sheet.
The TP72 top units can only mount above a B72 series base unit. It is available as a TP72 storage unit that can be mounted above a worktop that does not contain a cooktop. Above a cooktop (as shown here) a TP72-MH can conceal a built-in combination microwave oven and exhaust hood. The same unit can be mounted above a B72 unit that does not have a cooktop. In this case, the exhaust fan can handle odors generated by small, movable appliances like electric frying pans, crock pots, and toaster oven/broilers. Another model, the TP72-H maintains the look of furniture by concealing a very thin profile exhaust hood that slides out over the cooktop when it is on and all but disappears when it is off. These units combine with B72 units that have electric or selected gas cooktops.
Other TP units are designed to complete 6'-0" wide pantry or hutch combinations that do not have a cooktop. Combined with a B72-O base unit which can store an oven or a B72-T pantry base, these units can provide abundant workspace and storage space in the "reach zone". This combination is ideal to use against a wall opposite another B72-C that is used as an island range.
