CASTA L7/KUPG4BB.4M Professional Gas Hob with Worktop

A professional gas hob built for continuous service in a commercial kitchen, combining a stainless steel worktop with four high-output burners. The hob heats by natural gas, drawing the supply through open burners that sit above the work surface. Each burner mixes gas with air at the nozzle, producing a controlled flame that transfers heat directly to pots and pans. The open design allows instant adjustment of the flame height, giving the chef precise control over cooking temperatures and response times.

The sequence begins by manually lighting the pilot flame on each burner. Once the pilot is alight, the thermoelectric safety system holds the gas valve open; if the flame goes out, the valve closes automatically, stopping the gas flow. The chef then turns the control knob to the desired setting, regulating the size of the main flame. Cast iron grates support the cookware, distributing the heat evenly across the base of the pan while keeping it stable during stirring or searing.

The worktop is formed from AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, raised at the edges and recessed 22 mm to catch spills and juices before they reach the floor. This recessed area runs the full width of the hob, keeping the surrounding work surface clean and organised. The grates themselves are cast iron coated with a glossy porcelain enamel that resists acids and staining, allowing them to be used with either one or two burners at a time without warping or discolouration.

Control knobs and handles are made from a heat-resistant material with a cool-grip surface, reducing the risk of burns during prolonged use. Adjustable legs, also stainless steel, level the unit on uneven floors and raise it to a comfortable working height. The entire assembly is certified to EU safety and quality standards, ensuring compliance with professional kitchen regulations.

The power rating of 4.5 kW per burner indicates the load on the gas supply; four burners running simultaneously draw a combined 18 kW, requiring a properly sized gas line and adequate ventilation. The 800 mm width fits standard worktop runs, while the 700 mm depth leaves room for rear clearance and side access. The 275 mm height positions the cooking surface at a convenient level for standing chefs, reducing fatigue during long shifts.

Cleaning follows from the materials: the stainless steel worktop and recessed spill tray wipe clean with a damp cloth, while the porcelain-coated grates can be lifted off and washed separately. The open burners are brushed free of debris after each service to maintain consistent flame patterns and prevent blockages. No additional maintenance is required beyond routine checks of the gas connections and safety thermocouples.
