Collection: Cooktop

Consider your cooking habits when choosing a gas cooktop. If you often stir-fry multiple dishes at once, a cooktop with more burners and higher-output burners may offer greater flexibility. If you frequently simmer soups, prepare sauces or slow-cook dishes, a cooktop with smaller burners can provide more suitable heat for gentle cooking. Also consider your available bench space, fuel type and installation requirements to find the right fit for your kitchen.

The right size depends on your available bench space, cooking needs and kitchen layout. Before purchasing, check both the cooktop's external dimensions and the required cut-out dimensions. Always refer to the installation specifications for your chosen model to ensure a suitable fit.

The ideal number of burners depends on how often you cook, the number of dishes you typically prepare at once and the space available in your kitchen. A cooktop with fewer burners may suit everyday cooking in a smaller household, while a model with more burners can offer greater flexibility for preparing multiple dishes simultaneously.

Allow the cooktop to cool completely and ensure all controls are switched off before cleaning. Use a soft cloth and a suitable, non-abrasive cleaner for the cooktop surface. Removable trivets and burner components should be cleaned according to the instructions and allowed to dry completely before being reassembled. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive tools that may damage the surface.

In many cases, an existing gas cooktop can be replaced, provided the new model is compatible with the available bench space, cut-out dimensions, gas supply and installation requirements. Check the specifications of both the existing and replacement appliances before purchasing. A licensed gas fitter should assess the installation and any necessary modifications.

Gas cooktop installation involves gas connections and safety requirements. In Australia, installation and gas-related work must comply with applicable state or territory regulations and be carried out by an appropriately licensed or authorised professional where required. We recommend engaging a licensed gas fitter to install your cooktop safely and in accordance with local requirements.
