CASTA 6-Burner Gas Hob with Pressed Stainless Worktop P7/CUPG6BB.3M3G

A gas hob that delivers concentrated heat directly to pots and pans through open cast-iron burners, each fitted with a thermocouple safety valve and an exposed pilot flame. The flame is lit manually, giving the chef full control over ignition and heat output. This method provides instant, adjustable heat that responds quickly to changes in demand, essential for high-volume cooking where timing and precision matter.

The hob surface is pressed from 18/10 stainless steel with a recessed trough around the edge to catch spills and liquids, preventing them from spreading across the worktop. Six burners are arranged in two rows: three smaller burners at the front and three larger ones at the rear, allowing multiple pans to be heated simultaneously without crowding. Each burner is topped with a high-gloss porcelain-enamelled cast-iron grid that withstands high temperatures and resists acids, ensuring it remains stable and durable under constant use.

Operation begins by turning the control knob to the pilot position, lighting the flame manually, then adjusting the knob to the desired heat setting. The exposed pilot flame remains visible, providing a constant reference for flame presence and strength. Once lit, the burners transfer heat directly to the base of the pan, minimising heat loss and maximising energy transfer. The chef monitors the flame height and adjusts the knobs as needed, with the thermocouple safety valve cutting the gas supply automatically if the flame is extinguished.

The entire unit is constructed from AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, finished with a scotch-brite surface that resists corrosion, acids and mechanical damage while maintaining a professional appearance. The control knobs and handles are made from heat-resistant material, remaining cool to the touch even during prolonged use. Four adjustable legs, also in stainless steel, allow the hob to be levelled to match the height of adjacent worktops, ensuring a seamless and ergonomic workflow.

The power rating of 3 x 4.5 kW and 3 x 7.5 kW indicates the load placed on the gas supply, requiring a properly sized gas line and adequate ventilation in the kitchen. The footprint of 1050 mm wide by 700 mm deep determines the space the hob occupies on the worktop, while the 305 mm height, excluding legs, affects how it integrates with under-counter storage or shelving. The stainless steel construction means the unit is resistant to rust and staining, but regular cleaning is necessary to maintain hygiene and appearance. The pressed worktop with its recessed trough simplifies wiping down after service, while the cast-iron burners and grids can be removed for thorough cleaning, preventing grease build-up and ensuring consistent performance.

The hob is certified to European safety and quality standards, confirming its suitability for professional kitchens where reliability and compliance are mandatory.
