Gas hob with stand or neutral cabinet CASTA L7/KUPG2BA.2G

A gas hob built for continuous service in a professional kitchen, combining a heat-resistant worktop with a storage cupboard below. The hob burns natural or propane gas through two open burners, each releasing heat directly beneath the pan. The flame is controlled by a valve that adjusts the flow of gas, giving instant response to the chef's demand. A thermocouple safety device monitors the pilot flame; if it extinguishes, the gas supply shuts off automatically, preventing unburned gas from accumulating. Manual ignition lets the operator light the burner at the moment it is needed, avoiding the waste of a standing pilot when the hob is idle. The sequence of use is straightforward. The chef places the pan on the grate, opens the gas valve with the control knob, and ignites the burner with a manual spark or match. Once lit, the flame size is set by turning the knob to the desired position. When cooking is complete, the knob is turned off, the flame dies, and the pan is removed. The worktop's recessed channel collects any spills, keeping the surrounding area clean without interrupting service. The worktop is made of AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and staining in a wet, acidic environment. The 22 mm deep channel around the burners is formed into the steel, eliminating seams where dirt could collect. Cast-iron burners, chrome-plated for durability, sit above the gas outlets and support the grates. The grates themselves are cast iron coated with a glossy porcelain enamel that resists acids and thermal shock, allowing them to be used with one or two burners at a time. Control knobs are made of heat-resistant material with a cool-grip design, reducing the risk of burns during prolonged use. Adjustable legs, also in AISI 304 stainless steel, allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors, improving stability and ergonomics. The power rating of 7.5 kW per burner indicates the heat output available for rapid boiling or searing. The 400 mm depth and 700 mm width define the footprint on the worktop, while the 850 mm height determines the clearance needed above and the space required for the cupboard below. The neutral cupboard provides enclosed storage for utensils or ingredients, keeping them within reach but protected from splashes and dust. The deep-relief stainless-steel worktop channels spills directly into the trough so the surface stays dry while you cook. The stainless steel worktop can be wiped down with a damp cloth and detergent, while the porcelain-enamelled grates and chrome-plated burners can be removed for thorough washing. The recessed channel is designed to be rinsed out without disassembly, and the adjustable legs can be cleaned underneath once the unit is lifted. The cool-grip knobs are wiped with a cloth, avoiding abrasives that could damage the surface. The unit is certified to European Union EC standards, confirming compliance with safety and performance requirements for professional catering equipment. The catalogue places this model in the professional gas hobs section, under units with integrated storage.
