CASTA E7/KUPG2BA.2M Professional Gas Hob with Neutral Cupboard

A professional gas hob with integrated neutral cupboard, designed for high-output cooking in commercial kitchens. The appliance combines direct gas heat with a sturdy work surface and storage below, keeping essential tools within reach while maintaining a compact footprint on the worktop. Gas hobs of this type use open burners to transfer heat directly to pots and pans. The flame is controlled manually, allowing chefs to adjust intensity instantly for searing, simmering or rapid boiling. A thermoelectric safety system monitors each burner: if the flame extinguishes, the gas supply shuts off automatically, preventing leaks. The pilot light remains shielded, reducing the risk of accidental ignition while ensuring quick relighting when needed. To operate, the chef places a pan on the cast iron grate, ignites the burner with the control knob, and sets the desired flame height. The hob's two independent burners allow different cooking processes to run side by side—one for high-heat frying, the other for gentle reduction. The recessed work surface collects spills and juices in a 22 mm trough, keeping the surrounding area clean and organised during service. The construction is built for daily use in a professional environment. The worktop and adjustable legs are made from AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, a grade chosen for its resistance to corrosion and staining. Cast iron burners and grates are coated with acid-resistant porcelain enamel, which withstands repeated heating and cleaning without chipping. Control knobs are heat-resistant and feature a cool-grip design, reducing the risk of burns during prolonged use. Each control knob governs a single burner, allowing precise adjustment of gas flow. The neutral cupboard below provides enclosed storage for utensils, small equipment or ingredients, keeping them off the work surface and protected from splashes. The 4.5 kW power rating per burner indicates the load on the gas supply; this appliance requires a dedicated commercial gas line capable of delivering the necessary volume. The 400 mm depth, 700 mm width and 850 mm height define the space it occupies on the worktop and the clearance needed above and around it for safe operation. The deep-relief stainless-steel worktop channels every spill straight to its trough, so the hob stays dry while sauces and juices are whisked away without a cloth. The stainless steel worktop can be wiped down with standard kitchen sanitiser, while the porcelain-coated grates and burners are removed for thorough washing. The recessed trough is designed to contain spills, making it easier to empty and clean after service. Adjustable legs allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors, ensuring stability and preventing liquid from pooling. The appliance is certified to EC standards, confirming compliance with safety and performance requirements for professional catering equipment. The neutral cupboard is integrated into the base, providing a single unit that combines cooking and storage without additional floor space.
