Gas hob with stand or neutral cabinet BHS-G GG2140-040EV+S02

A gas fry top heats a solid metal plate with a gas burner beneath it, spreading heat evenly across the surface. The chromed cooking plate conducts heat quickly and holds it steadily, so food cooks at the same temperature across the entire area. This method avoids hot spots that can burn delicate items like fish or seafood, and the smooth chrome finish prevents sticking and stops flavours transferring between batches. The plate's slight incline lets fat and juices run off into a container, keeping the surface clean and reducing smoke during cooking.

To start, the operator turns the ergonomic knobs to the desired temperature between 120 °C and 280 °C. The piezo-electric igniter lights the burner without a separate flame. Once the plate reaches the set temperature, food is placed directly on the surface. The large 390 by 510 mm cooking area allows multiple items to be cooked at once, and the even heat distribution ensures consistent results. After cooking, fat and residues drain through a large hole into a removable container, which can be emptied and cleaned separately. The removable chimney can be washed in a commercial dishwasher, simplifying daily upkeep.

The body is made of stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning in a busy kitchen. The open base design allows air to circulate around the unit, while adjustable round legs let the operator level the fry top on uneven floors. If needed, the base can be fitted with universal doors to create a cupboard with left- or right-hinged access, though the unit is supplied without doors as standard. The gas connection must be specified at order to match the local supply: G20, G25, G25.3, G2.35 or G30/G31.

The 6.5 kW power rating indicates the gas load the unit draws, which determines the size of the supply pipe and the ventilation required in the kitchen. The 400 by 730 by 850 mm footprint shows the space the fry top occupies on the worktop, including the open base and legs. The adjustable temperature range from 120 °C to 280 °C covers everything from gentle warming to high-heat searing, making the unit suitable for a variety of dishes without needing separate appliances.

Cleaning involves wiping the chromed plate after each service, emptying the fat container, and removing the chimney for thorough washing. The stainless steel body can be wiped down with standard kitchen cleaners, and the adjustable legs should be checked periodically to ensure the unit remains stable. No additional maintenance is required beyond routine gas safety checks.

The fry top is part of the BHS-G LINE 700 series, designed for modular kitchen setups where units can be combined or separated as needed. The open base configuration allows for flexible installation, and the option to add doors later provides storage without replacing the entire unit.
