CASTA LQ/CUG6BB.3P1M2G 900 mm Gas Hob for Professional Kitchens

A gas hob designed for continuous service in professional kitchens, the CASTA LQ/CUG6BB.3P1M2G provides direct flame heat across six burners. Gas is ignited at each burner head, producing an open flame that transfers heat instantly to pots and pans. The flame's intensity is adjusted by mechanical valves, allowing chefs to control the cooking process precisely from simmer to full boil without waiting for elements to heat or cool.

The hob is operated by placing cookware on the cast-iron grates, igniting the burners with a manual pilot, and setting the flame level with the knobs. Each burner is fitted with a thermocouple safety system that cuts the gas supply if the flame extinguishes, preventing unburned gas from accumulating. The hob remains in use until the knobs are turned off, at which point the flame dies and the surface begins to cool.

Constructed from 2 mm thick AISI 304 stainless steel, the hob's top sheet is pressed and formed with raised edges and a textured finish to contain spills and collect drips. Two removable drip trays, also in stainless steel, sit beneath the burners to catch liquids and food debris. The grates are made from enamelled cast iron, chosen for its resistance to high temperatures and chemical corrosion, while the control knobs and handles are heat-resistant and designed to stay cool during operation.

The power specification of 3 × 3.5 kW, 5.5 kW and 2 × 7.4 kW indicates the maximum gas load each burner can draw, determining the hob's capacity to handle multiple high-demand cooking tasks simultaneously. The footprint of 1200 mm wide, 900 mm deep and 275 mm high defines the space required on the worktop, including clearance for the control knobs and drip trays. The hob is installed directly onto the work surface and supported by stable legs.

Cleaning involves removing the grates and drip trays, wiping the stainless steel surface with a damp cloth, and washing the trays separately. The textured finish helps prevent scratches and hides minor marks, while the sealed construction around the burners reduces the risk of liquids seeping into the hob's interior.

The hob is supplied as a single unit with no stated variants or accessories. It is categorised under professional gas cooking equipment in the CASTA catalogue.
