Gas hob with stand or neutral cabinet BHS-G GT2100-120EV+S02

A gas stove with a continuous cast iron solid top spreads heat evenly across the entire cooking surface, eliminating cold spots and allowing multiple pans to be used at once. The burners beneath the plate heat the metal directly, transferring energy through conduction rather than relying on open flames alone. This method gives precise temperature control and retains heat longer than individual burners, making it suited for searing, simmering and holding dishes at serving temperature. The solid top also acts as a protective barrier, reducing flare-ups and keeping the kitchen cleaner during heavy use.

The sequence begins by selecting the gas type at order; the appliance is then connected to the supply. The operator turns the ergonomic knobs to ignite the pilot burners, which remain lit in standby mode. Once the solid top reaches the required temperature—up to 500 °C at the centre—the chef arranges pans across the plate, adjusting each knob to fine-tune the heat beneath. After cooking, the removable chimney, burner basins and burner elements lift away for cleaning, while the solid top cools gradually to avoid warping.

Construction centres on a three-part alloy steel heating plate that distributes heat uniformly and resists thermal shock. The body is made of stainless steel, chosen for corrosion resistance and ease of sanitation. A piezo-electric igniter built into the solid top eliminates the need for external lighters, and the removable chimney and burner basins are dishwasher-safe. The stove can be joined seamlessly to other GORT LINE 700 units using a hair-joint connection system, creating a continuous worktop. Open bases beneath the stove may be fitted with universal left- or right-hinged doors to convert the space into a storage cupboard.

The 21.3 kW power rating indicates the total gas load the stove draws, which determines the size of the supply pipe and the ventilation required in the kitchen. The 1200 × 730 × 850 mm footprint shows the space the unit occupies on the floor, while the 770 × 572 mm cooking surface defines the usable area for pans. The maximum temperature of 500 °C at the centre of the plate allows high-heat techniques such as wok cooking and rapid searing.

Cleaning involves removing the chimney, burner basins and burner elements, all of which are dishwasher-safe. The solid top should be wiped down once cooled, using non-abrasive cleaners to preserve the alloy surface. The stainless steel body can be sanitised with standard kitchen detergents, and the removable parts should be inspected regularly for grease build-up to maintain efficiency and safety.

The stove is available in configurations compatible with gas types G20, G25, G25.3, G2.350, G27 and G30/G31; the specific type must be specified at the time of order. It belongs to the GORT LINE 700 series, designed for modular installation alongside compatible units.
