A 36" Commercial Cheese Melter

This commercial cheese melter has two 21,500 BTU ceramic infrared burners with 43,000 BTU in total and a separate control for each side. It ships with a mount kit for an Atosa 36" range.

Is the ATCM-36 Enough, or Do You Need a Salamander?

For melting cheese on enchiladas, nachos and open-faced sandwiches, or browning the top of a pasta bake, a cheese melter covers the job. The ATCM-36 uses the same two 21,500 BTU ceramic infrared burners (43,000 BTU) as the ATSB-36 salamander, with a removable broiler rack and crumb catcher.

At 95 lb (119 lb shipped), it is 48 lb lighter than the salamander, which makes it the easier unit to put on a wall with the optional 21208001048 kit. The included range mount kit fits Atosa 36" ranges, such as the AGR-36G griddle range or the AGR-4B36GR. Confirm the fit with us if you are not sure about your range.

Step up to the ATSB-36 if you sear steaks or broil at different heights: it adds a 4 position chrome rack and a 1 minute preheat on Atosa's spec sheet. With its separate left and right valves, the ATCM-36 can run one side for a few plates and leave the other off.

Atosa ATCM-36 FAQ

What size is the Atosa ATCM-36?

36" wide, 18" deep and 17-1/3" tall, the same frame as the ATSB-36 salamander. It weighs 95 lb, or 119 lb shipped.

How many BTU is the ATCM-36?

43,000 BTU from two 21,500 BTU ceramic infrared burners, the same as the ATSB-36.

Can I run each side of the ATCM-36 separately?

Yes. Dual valves control the left and right sides, so a slow period can run on one side.

Can the ATCM-36 mount on my range?

Yes, on an Atosa 36" range, such as the AGR-36G or AGR-4B36GR. The range mount kit ships with it and fits Atosa 36" ranges only.

Can the ATCM-36 mount on a wall?

Yes, with the optional Atosa wall mount kit 21208001048. At 95 lb, it is 48 lb lighter than the ATSB-36, but the wall still has to be flat, solid and able to hold it, per Atosa's installation overview.

Atosa lists it for natural gas (5" W.C.) and propane (10" W.C.).

1 year parts and labor (US only) on the ATCM-36.

Can the ATCM-36 sear steaks like a salamander?

It has the same 43,000 BTU, but it does not have the ATSB-36's 4 position chrome rack or its 1 minute preheat spec. If you sear or finish proteins at different distances from the burners, the ATSB-36 is the better fit. For melting and browning, the ATCM-36 does the job at 48 lb less.
