Gas hob with stand or neutral cabinet CASTA L7/KUG4BA

A gas stove with stand designed for continuous use in professional kitchens, combining open-flame burners with a sturdy worktop. The appliance provides direct heat through gas combustion, allowing precise temperature control for frying, boiling, sautéing and simmering. Open burners distribute heat evenly across the base of pots and pans, while the flame's intensity can be adjusted instantly to match the cooking stage, from rapid searing to gentle poaching.

The operator places a pot or pan on the cast iron grid, turns the gas valve to ignite the burner manually, and sets the desired flame height using the cool-grip knobs. Each burner operates independently, so multiple dishes can be cooked simultaneously at different temperatures. The adjustable feet allow the stove to be levelled on uneven floors, ensuring stability and preventing spills.

The structure is built from 0.8 mm thick AISI 430 steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning. The burners are chromium-plated, protecting them from oxidation and extending their lifespan. A black enamel cast iron grid supports heavy pots and distributes heat evenly. The knobs are made from heat-resistant material to remain cool during prolonged use, reducing the risk of burns. A thermocouple safety device cuts the gas supply if the flame is accidentally extinguished.

The power rating of 3.5 kW and 6.0 kW per burner pair indicates the maximum gas load the appliance draws, which determines the size of the gas supply line required in the kitchen. The 800 mm width provides ample space for four burners, allowing multiple chefs to work side by side without crowding. The 700 mm depth fits standard worktop configurations, while the 850 mm height matches most professional worktops for comfortable use.

Cleaning involves wiping the steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, removing food debris from the cast iron grid, and brushing the burners to clear any blockages. The chromium plating prevents rust, but the burners should be dried after cleaning to maintain their finish. The adjustable feet can be removed for thorough cleaning beneath the unit.

This model is the semi-professional version of the FAST 700 range, offering a balance between durability and cost for smaller commercial kitchens or high-volume catering operations.

The stove is classified under professional catering stoves in the CASTA catalogue.
