MBM MINIMA 600 Gas Stove Top for Professional Kitchens, 17.55 kW

A gas stove top transfers heat directly from flames to pots and pans, giving instant control over cooking temperature. The burners mix gas with air before ignition, producing a steady flame that responds immediately when the tap is adjusted. This direct heat method allows rapid boiling, precise simmering, and even searing without waiting for elements to warm up or cool down. The MINIMA 600 is operated by turning the ergonomic knobs to open the gas supply. Each tap includes a safety valve with a thermocouple that automatically shuts off the gas if the flame goes out, preventing leaks. The burners ignite electronically, removing the need for manual lighters. Once lit, the flame size is adjusted by the knob to suit the cooking task, from high heat for frying to low heat for sauces. The unit is constructed from stainless steel, including the external structure, worktop, and chimney. The side panels are designed to cover the fitting edges, allowing multiple units to be aligned and joined seamlessly. The worktop measures 1000 mm wide, 600 mm deep, and 270 mm high, providing a compact yet functional cooking surface for professional kitchens. The total weight of 44 kg ensures stability on the worktop while remaining manageable for installation and repositioning. Each burner delivers either 2.7 kW or 3.1 kW of power, offering flexibility for different cooking techniques. The 17.55 kW total gas load requires a dedicated gas supply line capable of handling the demand, ensuring consistent performance during peak service. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and withstands the high temperatures and frequent cleaning of a busy kitchen. After searing a steak or reducing a sauce, the brushed stainless steel work top shrugs off splashes and wipes clean with a single pass, keeping the line moving without scrubbing. The burners can be removed for thorough cleaning to prevent grease build-up, which can affect flame quality. The safety valves and thermocouples should be checked periodically to ensure they function correctly, maintaining safe operation. The MINIMA range includes models with 2, 4, or 6 burners, available with either gas or electric ovens beneath the stove top. This model, the G6S6, is a 6-burner stove top without an oven, designed for kitchens that require additional hob space or already have separate oven units. The product is listed in the catalogue under professional gas cooking equipment, specifically stove tops for commercial kitchens.
