Electric hob Stalgast 9705000

An electric stove transfers energy directly from its heating elements into metal plates, raising their temperature quickly and evenly. The heat then conducts into pots and pans placed on the plates, allowing precise control over cooking processes such as boiling, simmering or frying. Because the heat is generated electrically, there is no open flame, which simplifies ventilation and reduces the risk of accidental ignition in a busy kitchen environment.

To use the stove, the operator first ensures the unit is positioned on a stable, level surface. The adjustable legs are set so the stove sits securely, either on an open worktop or at the base of a run of cupboards with a door fitted beneath. Once connected to the 400 V three-phase supply, the power indicator lights confirm the stove is live. The operator places a pot or pan on one of the 220 mm diameter heating plates, selects the desired power level via the front-panel controls, and the corresponding work indicator shows which plate is active. When cooking is complete, the controls are turned off and the indicators extinguish, signalling that the plates are cooling.

The stove is constructed entirely of stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion, ease of cleaning and durability under continuous use. Ergonomic handles are integrated into the design, allowing safe repositioning even when the unit is hot. A front panel with laser-engraved markings provides clear, permanent labelling of the controls. The adjustable legs allow the stove to be levelled on uneven floors or to create a small gap beneath for airflow.

A power rating of 5.2 kW indicates the total electrical load the stove draws when both plates are operating at full capacity. This requires a dedicated three-phase circuit capable of supplying the necessary current without tripping protective devices. The 400 V voltage specification confirms the stove is designed for the standard industrial supply found in commercial kitchens, rather than a domestic single-phase connection.

The overall dimensions of 400 mm depth, 700 mm width and 250 mm height define the footprint the stove occupies on the worktop or base unit. This size allows side-by-side placement with other modular equipment while still providing sufficient space for large pots on each 220 mm heating plate.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, ensuring no residue is left on the heating plates or around the controls. The laser-engraved front panel resists wear from regular cleaning, maintaining legibility over time. Adjustable legs should be checked periodically to ensure they remain tight and the stove remains stable during use.

This stove is positioned in the catalogue under professional cooking equipment, specifically within the electric stove category for commercial kitchens.
