CASTA E7/KUPG4BA.4M Gas Hob with Neutral Cupboard

A gas hob built for continuous service in a professional kitchen, combining a heat-resistant worktop with a neutral cupboard beneath. The hob surface is pressed from AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, raised at the edges and recessed 22 mm to form a central trough. Any liquid spilled during cooking collects in this trough, keeping the surrounding work area dry and organised without the need for constant wiping.

Gas is delivered through four open burners, each rated at 4.5 kW. The burners are cast in chromed iron and fitted with a thermoelectric safety valve plus a shielded pilot light. Ignition is manual, giving the chef direct control over when each burner lights. Cast-iron grates sit above the burners; they are finished with a glossy porcelain enamel that resists acids and can support a single large pan or two smaller ones on each grate section. The grates are removable for cleaning, and their enamel surface prevents food from sticking and makes scrubbing easier.

Control knobs and handles are moulded from heat-resistant material and designed with a cool-grip profile, so they remain safe to touch even after prolonged use. Adjustable legs, also in AISI 304 stainless steel, allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors and raised or lowered to match adjacent worktops.

The neutral cupboard beneath the hob provides enclosed storage for utensils, containers or ingredients, keeping them within reach but out of the way of the cooking area. The entire unit is certified to EC standards, confirming compliance with safety and performance requirements for commercial catering equipment.

In use, the chef places pans on the grates, ignites the required burners, and adjusts the flame with the knobs. The recessed worktop catches any spills, and the porcelain-coated grates distribute heat evenly across the pan base. After service, the grates lift off, the trough is wiped clean, and the stainless-steel surfaces are sanitised. The four 4.5 kW burners draw a combined load that must be supplied by a dedicated gas circuit capable of delivering the required flow rate. The 800 mm width and 700 mm depth determine the space the hob occupies on the worktop, while the 850 mm height matches standard worktop heights for seamless integration with other kitchen equipment.
