The gas hob — the advanced traditional
1A gas hob (gas cooktop) is the cooktop that runs on gas, installed into the counter on its own without an oven. It is common in modern kitchens because it uses the same technology as a traditional stove, keeps the oven separate in the wall, and gives design flexibility with easier service than induction or ceramic.
2Its components: burners of varying sizes (wok burner, rapid, auxiliary), electronic auto-ignition, flame-failure safety devices, iron grates over the burners, and sealed gas connections.
3At BuiltInFix, our gas-hob technicians are specialized in safely removing and installing hobs, and we have parts for the most popular brands (Ariston).
