CASTA E7/CUPG6BB.3M3G Professional Gas Hob with Griddle

A professional gas hob built for high-output kitchens, combining open burners and a solid griddle in a single worktop. The hob heats with natural gas or propane, igniting a controlled flame beneath each burner and griddle section. Open burners deliver instant, adjustable heat for pots and pans, while the griddle plate spreads heat evenly across its surface for searing, frying or holding food at temperature. The flame is protected by a thermocouple safety system that shuts off the gas if the pilot light fails, preventing unburned gas from escaping.

The sequence begins by manually lighting the pilot flame on each burner or griddle section. Once lit, the operator sets the control knob to the desired flame height, adjusting heat instantly as the cooking demands. The griddle's porcelain-enamelled surface retains heat and resists acidic foods, making it suitable for both single and double loads. A 22 mm deep trough around the worktop catches spills and juices, keeping the cooking area organised and reducing clean-up time.

The worktop and adjustable legs are made from AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, chosen for corrosion resistance and durability in wet, high-temperature environments. The burners are cast from chromed cast iron, while the griddle is cast iron with a porcelain enamel finish that withstands repeated heating and cooling. Control knobs are heat-resistant and feature a cool-grip design to prevent burns during prolonged use.

The power rating of 3 × 4.5 kW and 3 × 7.5 kW indicates the load on the gas supply; each burner or griddle section can be operated independently, allowing the hob to handle multiple dishes simultaneously. The 1050 mm width fits standard worktop runs, while the 700 mm depth leaves space for rear splashbacks or extraction hoods. The 275 mm height, combined with adjustable legs, ensures the hob can be levelled on uneven floors and positioned at an ergonomic working height.

Cleaning follows from the materials: the stainless worktop and trough can be wiped down with mild detergent, while the porcelain-enamelled griddle and burners are scraped and washed with non-abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish. The trough's depth prevents spills from reaching the floor, and the smooth surfaces reduce food adhesion.

The model is a single unit with no stated variants. It is placed in the professional gas cooking section of the catalogue, alongside other heavy-duty hobs and ranges.
