CASTA E7/CUPG4BA.2M2G Gas Hob with Neutral Cupboard

A gas hob built for continuous service in professional kitchens, combining a heat-resistant worktop with a neutral cupboard beneath. The hob draws mains gas through four open burners, each sized to match the load: two smaller rings for simmering and two larger ones for rapid boiling or searing. The flame is lit manually, giving the chef direct control over ignition and heat output. A thermoelectric safety valve shuts off the gas if the pilot flame fails, preventing unburned gas from accumulating.

The worktop is pressed from a single sheet of AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, raised at the edges and recessed in the centre to form a shallow trough. Spillages and juices collect in this trough rather than running onto the floor, keeping the cooking area clean and reducing slip hazards. Cast iron grates rest above the burners, coated in a glossy porcelain enamel that resists acids and sugars. The enamel also prevents food from sticking, so the grates lift away for cleaning without scrubbing. Each grate spans two burners, allowing large pots to straddle the gap without wobbling.

Controls are mounted on the front apron: knobs for each burner, made from a heat-resistant composite with a cool-grip surface. The knobs remain cool enough to touch even after hours of use, reducing the risk of burns. Four adjustable legs, also in AISI 304 stainless steel, level the unit on uneven floors and raise it to a comfortable working height. The neutral cupboard beneath provides enclosed storage for utensils or dry goods, keeping them within reach but out of the way of the cooking surface.

The power rating of 4.5 kW and 7.5 kW per pair of burners determines the gas load the unit places on the supply. A kitchen must have a gas line and meter sized to handle the combined demand of all appliances running simultaneously. The 700 mm width matches standard worktop depths, allowing the hob to sit flush with counters on either side. The 850 mm height fits beneath most extractor canopies, leaving clearance for ventilation.

Cleaning follows from the materials: the stainless steel worktop wipes clean with a damp cloth, the porcelain-coated grates are dishwasher-safe, and the cast iron burners lift out for inspection. The trough drains through a small hole at one end, which can be flushed with water. The cool-grip knobs and heat-resistant apron require no special care beyond occasional wiping. The unit is certified to EU safety standards, confirming that it meets the requirements for professional use in commercial kitchens.

The E7/CUPG4BA.2M2G is a single model; no variants are listed. It is placed in the catalogue under gas hobs with integrated storage.
