CASTA E7/KUPG6BA.6M 6-Burner Gas Hob with Neutral Cupboard

A professional gas hob with six open burners and an integrated neutral cupboard, designed for high-output kitchens. The hob heats by burning gas directly beneath the cooking vessels, producing an immediate and controllable flame. This method gives rapid temperature adjustment and even heat distribution across the base of pots and pans, making it suitable for searing, sautéing and simmering large quantities of food at once.

The sequence of use begins with positioning the unit on a stable, level surface. The adjustable legs are set to the correct height, ensuring the hob is flush with adjacent worktops. The gas supply is connected and tested for leaks. Each burner is lit manually using the control knobs, which also regulate the flame intensity. Cookware is placed on the cast iron grates, which support heavy loads and conduct heat evenly. After cooking, the knobs are turned to the off position, extinguishing the flame, and the grates and burners are left to cool before cleaning.

The worktop is fabricated from AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, with a 22 mm deep recessed channel around the perimeter to collect spills and liquids. The burners are made of chromed cast iron, fitted with thermoelectric safety thermocouples and protected pilot lights. Grates are cast iron with a glossy porcelain enamel finish that resists acids and simplifies cleaning. Control knobs are heat-resistant and feature a cool-grip design to prevent burns during extended use. The adjustable legs are also stainless steel, providing stability and ergonomic access.

The power rating of 3 × 4.5 kW plus 3 × 4.5 kW indicates the total gas load the hob places on the supply, requiring a dedicated gas line sized for the combined output. The footprint of 1200 mm wide by 700 mm deep determines the space the unit occupies on the worktop or island, while the 850 mm height ensures compatibility with standard kitchen counters and shelving. The weight of the unit dictates that it is moved with a trolley or by two operators.

Cleaning involves removing the grates and burners to wipe down the stainless steel worktop and recessed channel. The porcelain enamel grates are washed with warm water and non-abrasive detergent, while the burners are brushed to clear any food debris. The cool-grip knobs and stainless steel legs are wiped with a damp cloth. Regular maintenance includes checking the thermocouples and pilot lights for consistent operation.
