Gas hob with stand or neutral cabinet BHS-G GT2100-080EV+S02

A gas solid top creates an unbroken, intensely hot surface that sears, grills and holds pans at a steady temperature across its entire width. The alloy steel plate absorbs the heat from the burners beneath and spreads it evenly, so every part of the cooking zone reaches the same high temperature without hot spots or cold edges. This method gives chefs a continuous worktop that responds instantly to the knob, from a gentle simmer at the outer ring to a fierce sear in the centre where the heat concentrates at 500 °C.

The sequence begins by selecting the gas type at order; the appliance is then plumbed into the kitchen supply. The operator turns the ergonomic knobs to light the piezo-electric igniter, which sparks the pilot burner. Once the pilot is alight, the main burners fire up and the solid top starts to heat. The high-power burners transfer energy quickly, so the plate reaches working temperature in minutes. Pans are placed directly on the surface or over the removable burner basins, which can be lifted out for cleaning. When the service is finished, the knobs are turned to standby; the pilot remains lit, ready for the next use.

The construction centres on a durable alloy steel plate that resists warping and distributes heat evenly. Beneath it, removable burner basins and elements allow access to every part of the interior. A stainless-steel body encloses the burners and supports the plate, while adjustable round legs set the height to match adjacent GORT LINE 700 units. The removable chimney directs fumes away and can be washed in a commercial dishwasher.

Each knob controls the gas flow to a section of the plate, giving smooth power adjustment from low to high. The 17 kW rating indicates the total load on the gas supply, which must be sized to handle the appliance alongside others in a busy kitchen. The footprint of 800 by 730 mm fits into a standard worktop run, while the 370 by 572 mm cooking surface provides ample space for multiple pans. The 850 mm height matches other professional equipment, allowing staff to move between stations without adjusting their stance.

Cleaning starts by removing the burner basins and chimney, both dishwasher-safe. The alloy steel plate is wiped down while still warm, then left to cool before a final scrub. The stainless-steel body and adjustable legs are cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. The gas type must be specified at order to ensure the appliance is configured for the local supply.

The GT2100-080EV+S02 is part of the GORT LINE 700 series, designed for open bases that can be fitted with universal left- or right-hinged doors to create a cupboard beneath the solid top.
