Gas Hob Advice

JSparrow said:
Hi Guys,

I am looking to install a gas hob in the kitchen with all the power cuts and load shedding.

Just a normal 600mm hob. Nothing fancy, I am keeping the electric oven in place.

Any ideas on brands and features?

TIA

Looking at this one:

Bosch 600 mm 4-Burner Gas Hob | Gas Hobs | Gas Hobs | Hobs | Stoves & Ovens | Appliances | Makro Online Site

That's a great price, Bosch is a strong brand. There is very little that can go wrong with a hob, not so much an oven / cooker hood, I have a gas powered Fuchs, and the hob is OK, but I regret the hood every single day, and the electric oven is also iffy.
 
A feature I can recommend is auto gas shut off. If the gas is going and the flame dies for whatever reason, or if your kid turns one of the plates on, then it closes automatically if no flame is detected.

That one he posted does have it
Flame Failure Safety DeviceYes
 
That reminds me, our fire extinguishers in our complex are also out of date
I need to get my tjommie in to 'service' them again

Also a loophole for Insurance companies to not payout. Bunch of *****
 
Revive and hijacking thread. Lol.

Does anyone know if it's a decent one. Or have any recommendations?

Thanks so much.
 
If i bought again I would not get one with those big ass iron grates that cover the burners. They get dirty and oily easily and are a mission to clean because of their size. Try get a hob with single covers. Like this:

Yup. There it is:

Gas hob advice anyone?

Yes also don't know. My Eurogas hob is over 15 years old, never serviced it, needed support or parts. Our Defy is over 20 years old. SO uses a needle to clean the jets now and then and that's been it Only flaw is the most common uses burners both sit on the right so it's a pita when using...

Anyone know where I can get a 700mm Gas oven? It cannot be a stand-alone.

This size seems to be as scarce as hen's teeth, and my kitchen is designed in such a way that I cannot increase the size to 900mm, and 600mm is too small.
