Countertop industrial gas cookers

What a countertop cooker is

It is a cooking module with no legs or base cabinet: these 18 units are 240 to 364 mm high and sit on a bench, a neutral unit or a modular block at working height. There is no oven or drawers underneath. If you are looking for a unit that already reaches 850 mm and has an oven or cabinet, it is in freestanding gas cookers.

Widths available, from 385 to 1,310 mm

• 385 to 406 mm. One 5.8 kW burner, for a support cooking point.
• 692 to 806 mm. Two 5.8 kW burners, or four burners of 7 and 8.74 kW in the 700 and 900 series modules.
• 1,000 to 1,206 mm. Three and four burners, and the 6-burner 1.10 and 1.20 m versions.
• 1,310 mm. Four 5.8 kW burners in line, with 587 mm depth.

Choose the depth before the width

The depth decides whether the module lines up with the rest of the line. In this subcategory there are five depths: 450 mm for bars and counters, 587 and 664 mm in the 600 series, 714 and 730 mm in the 700 series and 900 mm in the 900 series. Several models have a cover-strip alignment system to join other modules of the same depth.

Pan supports, burners and maintenance

The 600 series modules have a removable 395 x 267 mm cast iron pan support per burner, and the burner and tray can be removed without tools. The 700 and 900 series have individual enamelled cast iron pan supports and grease trays covering the cooking area. The 8.65 and 8.74 kW double crown burners have a thermocouple and pilot flame; the 5.5 kW modulating burners go down to 1.5 kW.

Woks and countertop griddles

Three of the units in this subcategory are wok cookers, with 18 kW vertical-flame burners 335 mm in diameter: one with two burners and 36 kW and two with three burners and 54 kW, in 730 and 900 mm depths. There is also a gas radiant griddle of 70 cm with a 10 mm cast iron plate, 40 dm² of surface and a 9 kW burner under the central ring.

Before ordering

• Confirm the width and depth of the space in millimetres; each product page gives all three dimensions.
• Plan the base: bench, neutral unit or block at working height.
• Check the gas at your premises. The units are supplied set up for propane-butane and come with natural gas injectors.
• Add up the power of all the modules in the line before calculating the supply and extraction.
