Freestanding professional gas cookers

What goes under the hob

It is the main difference between the 18 units in this subcategory:

• Gas oven. A single supply for burners and oven. Ovens of 6, 7, 8 and 10 kW, the last two in the extra-large oven versions.
• Electric oven. It also needs a 400 V socket. Ovens of 5.3 and 6 kW, static or with upper and lower elements adjustable separately.
• Open cabinet. No oven: the space underneath is left free for containers. There are 4- and 6-burner versions.
• Oven only. A 1.20 m module with a 12.93 kW gas oven and no burners on the hob.

How to read the power of a freestanding cooker

When the oven is gas, the power stated by the manufacturer includes the oven: 42 kW of burners plus a 6 kW oven are published as 48 kW. When the oven is electric, the two figures are given separately and are not added together. Each product page gives the breakdown.

Burners: from 22 to 54 kW on the hob

• 4 burners. 22 kW with 5.5 kW burners, 28 kW with 7 kW burners or 36 kW combining two of 7 and two of 11 kW.
• 6 burners. 33 kW with six 5.5 kW burners, 42 kW with six of 7 kW or 54 kW combining three of 7 and three of 11 kW.

Several of these configurations share the same body: the 1.20 m 33 kW and 54 kW versions have the same dimensions.

Ovens: chambers and trays

The published chambers in this subcategory measure 540 x 695 x 320 mm, 540 x 700 x 300 mm, 930 x 650 mm and 1,000 x 700 x 300 mm, with runners for three levels of GN 2/1 on the models that state it. The gas ovens have a burner with safety valve, thermocouple and piezo ignition.

Units with griddle

This subcategory includes a 4-burner 7 kW cooker with a 5.5 kW central griddle and a 6 kW gas oven in the same module, an 80 cm freestanding radiant griddle with a 10 mm cast iron plate, 50 dm² of surface and a 7 kW gas oven underneath, and a 70 cm freestanding radiant griddle with electric oven.

Before ordering

• Measure the width (800, 1,100 or 1,200 mm) and depth (714 or 900 mm), and check doorways and corridors.
• Compare the total power of the unit with the gas supply at your premises.
• If you choose an electric oven, confirm the 400 V socket.
• Bear the weight in mind: it ranges from 74 to 173 kg depending on the model.

If your kitchen already has furniture and you only need the cooking module, see the countertop gas cookers. The whole range is in commercial gas cookers.
