LOTUS Gas Cooking Top PCT-63G for Professional Kitchens

A gas cooking top that delivers consistent, controllable heat through high-efficiency modular burners. The burners mix gas and air at the point of ignition, producing a stable flame that responds instantly to valve adjustment. This direct control over heat intensity makes it possible to sear, simmer or hold food at the exact temperature the recipe demands without overshooting or lag. The pilot flame system keeps a small, continuous flame alight; when the operator turns a knob, the main burner ignites immediately without the need for an external spark, reducing the risk of unlit gas escaping into the kitchen.

The sequence begins with securing the unit on a worktop or counter using the adjustable feet to level it. The operator selects the appropriate gas type—natural or LPG—using the supplied conversion nozzles, then connects the gas supply. Once the pilot flame is lit, each burner is started by turning its knob to the ignition position; the thermocouple safety valve keeps the gas flow open only while the flame is present. Heavy-duty cast iron pan supports hold pots and pans steadily above the burners, while the drip tray beneath catches spills and splashes. After cooking, the operator turns the knobs to the off position, extinguishing the burners but leaving the pilot flame alight for the next use.

The construction is 18/10 AISI 304 CrNi stainless steel throughout, with a 1 mm thick worktop that resists dents and scratches. The Scotch-Brite satin finish reduces visible fingerprints and makes daily cleaning easier. Rounded edges on the worktop prevent sharp corners, while chrome-plated components and a rear splashback protect the wall behind from grease and steam. IPX5-rated water-resistant control knobs allow the operator to rinse the front panel without damaging the ignition system. The front control panel lifts off to expose all internal parts, simplifying maintenance and gas conversion.

Each control knob sets the gas flow to one burner, adjusting the flame from a low simmer to full output. The 9 kW total power rating indicates the load on the gas supply; in a professional kitchen this typically requires a dedicated gas line capable of delivering the required volume without pressure drop. The 300 mm depth and 600 mm width determine the space the unit occupies on the worktop, while the 280 mm height allows it to fit beneath standard overhead cupboards. The 20 kg weight ensures stability during use but still permits two people to lift and position the unit without mechanical assistance.

Cleaning involves removing the pan supports and drip tray, wiping the worktop and splashback with a damp cloth, and rinsing the drip tray under a tap. The control knobs can be rinsed in place, and the front panel is removed periodically to clean behind it. The pilot flame and burners should be checked for blockages, and the thermocouple safety valve tested to ensure it shuts off the gas if the flame is extinguished.

The PCT-63G is supplied with conversion nozzles for switching between natural gas and LPG, allowing the same unit to be used in different locations without replacing the entire appliance.
