MBM MINIMA 600 Gas Stove Top for Professional Kitchens G4S6

A gas stove top transfers energy directly from the flame to the pan, eliminating the lag of electric elements. The burners on the MINIMA 600 mix gas with air in a venturi tube, producing a controlled blue flame that heats the base evenly. This method gives instant response to the knob, letting the chef adjust from a rolling boil to a gentle simmer without waiting. The flame also spreads heat up the sides of the pan, which is essential for techniques like stir-frying or reducing sauces. The sequence begins by turning the ergonomic knob to the ignition position. The electronic spark lights the burner, and the safety valve opens only when the thermocouple detects heat. The chef sets the desired flame height with the same knob, watching the blue ring adjust around the pan. When finished, the knob is turned off, the thermocouple cools, and the valve automatically shuts off the gas supply, preventing leaks. The stainless steel worktop stays cool at the edges, allowing safe placement of utensils or ingredients nearby. The MINIMA 600 is constructed entirely of stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion, heat and impact. The 600 mm square worktop provides space for multiple pans without crowding, while the 270 mm height matches standard worktop levels for comfortable use. The side panels are profiled to cover the fitting edge, allowing two or more units to be joined seamlessly into a continuous cooking line. Each burner is rated at either 2.7 kW or 3.1 kW, giving a total power of 11.7 kW across the top. The controls consist of heat-resistant knobs, one for each burner. Each knob sets the gas flow and therefore the flame size, from a low simmer to a full boil. The safety valve with thermocouple is built into the tap, cutting the gas supply if the flame goes out accidentally. This feature operates independently of the knob position, providing protection even if the knob is left open. An 11.7 kW gas load requires a dedicated commercial gas line, which must be installed by a registered engineer. The 30 kg weight allows the unit to be moved by two people for cleaning or reconfiguration, but it is not designed for frequent relocation. The 600 mm width and depth fit within a standard worktop footprint, leaving space for adjacent appliances or preparation areas. The stainless steel chimney directs combustion gases away from the cooking zone, keeping the kitchen atmosphere clear. The seamless stainless-steel worktop and side panels shed splashes and grease, so a single pass with a cloth restores the stove's hygienic finish between service peaks. The burners lift off for access to the venturi tubes, where food debris can be brushed out. The heat-resistant knobs and taps are wiped down but not immersed in water. The side panels are removed for thorough cleaning of the edges and joints when units are disconnected. The MINIMA range includes models with 2, 4 or 6 burners, and versions with either gas or electric ovens beneath. The 600 mm width is common to all models, allowing mixed configurations in the same kitchen line. This stove top is categorised under professional gas cooking equipment, specifically modular stove tops for commercial kitchens.
