Gas hob with stand or neutral cabinet LOTUS 08210450

A gas range built for continuous service in commercial kitchens, combining two high-capacity burners with a full-width open storage cabinet beneath the worktop. The unit stands on adjustable legs, allowing the chef to level it on uneven floors and raise it for cleaning underneath.

Gas burners generate heat by mixing fuel with air and igniting the mixture at the burner head. The flame transfers energy directly to the base of the pan, giving instant response when the control knob is turned. Each burner on this range is fitted with a pilot light, a thermocouple and a safety valve; the pilot keeps a small flame alight, the thermocouple senses that the flame is present, and the valve shuts off the gas if the flame goes out. Modulating controls allow the chef to adjust the flame from a gentle simmer to full power, matching the heat to the cooking process without overshooting.

The sequence of use is straightforward. The chef places the pan on the cast-iron grate, lights the burner by turning the control knob to the ignition position, and then sets the desired flame height. After cooking, the knob is turned off and the pan removed. The open cabinet below the worktop holds utensils, small pots or ingredients within arm's reach, reducing movement across the kitchen.

Construction is entirely in 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel, finished in a Scotch-Brite satin polish. The worktop is 2 mm thick with rounded edges, and the rear splash guard protects the wall from splashes. Chrome-plated trim and control knobs are rated IPX5 for water resistance, allowing the chef to wipe them down without risk of electrical damage. The cast-iron grates provide a stable, durable surface for heavy pans, and the removable drip tray beneath the burners collects spills for easy cleaning.

Controls consist of two gas knobs, one for each burner. Each knob sets the flame height and incorporates the ignition and safety functions. The range is supplied with conversion nozzles for either natural gas or LPG, allowing the chef to match the appliance to the local supply without additional parts.

The 13.0 kW power rating indicates the total gas load the range places on the kitchen supply; this figure helps the kitchen planner ensure the gas line and meter can support the appliance alongside other equipment. The 400 mm width gives a compact footprint that fits into tight kitchen layouts, while the 63 kg weight means the unit is moved by two people or a trolley, not carried by hand. The open cabinet beneath adds storage without increasing the overall depth, keeping the range within the standard worktop line.

Cleaning is designed for daily use. The chef removes the drip tray and grates, wipes the worktop and splash guard with a damp cloth, and cleans the burners and control panel with a soft brush. The front control panel lifts off to give access to the internal gas components, and the drip tray slides out for emptying and washing. Adjustable legs allow the chef to raise the unit for thorough cleaning underneath.

The range is supplied as a single model, PC-74GP, with no variants.
