CASTA 6-Burner Gas Hob for Professional Kitchens

A gas hob heats pots and pans directly with an open flame, transferring energy from burning gas to the cookware. The flame's intensity is controlled by a valve, allowing precise temperature adjustments for searing, simmering or boiling. Gas hobs respond instantly to changes, making them essential for professional kitchens where timing and control are critical. The heat is distributed evenly across the base of the pan, reducing hot spots and ensuring consistent cooking results.

To use the CASTA LQ/CUG6BB.6G, position the hob on a stable worktop. Place a pan on one of the six cast iron grates, then turn the corresponding control knob to ignite the burner. Adjust the flame to the required level using the same knob. The pilot light remains lit to ensure immediate re-ignition if the flame is extinguished. Spills collect in the removable stainless steel trays beneath each burner, which can be lifted out for cleaning. When finished, turn the knob to the off position and allow the hob to cool before wiping the surface.

The hob is constructed from 2 mm thick AISI 304 stainless steel, formed into a seamless worktop with raised edges to contain spills. The burners are made from acid-resistant cast iron with a porcelain finish, designed to withstand high temperatures and frequent use. Each grate is coated in black enamel for durability and ease of cleaning. The control knobs are heat-resistant and remain cool to the touch during operation, reducing the risk of burns. The unit stands on adjustable feet for stability on uneven surfaces.

The 1200 mm width provides space for six burners, allowing multiple dishes to be prepared simultaneously in a busy kitchen. The 900 mm depth fits standard worktop depths, while the 275 mm height ensures comfortable working posture. The 7.4 kW output per burner delivers sufficient heat for rapid cooking, suitable for high-demand environments. The gas supply must be connected by a qualified professional to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Cleaning involves removing the grates and spill trays, then wiping the stainless steel surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The trays and grates can be washed separately to remove grease and food residue. The sealed construction prevents liquids from seeping into the hob's interior, simplifying maintenance. Regular cleaning of the burners and pilot lights ensures consistent performance and extends the hob's lifespan.

The hob is designed for installation on a worktop and is not freestanding. It requires a gas supply and must be connected by a certified engineer. The unit is compatible with natural gas and can be adjusted for other gas types if specified during installation.
