The Hotpoint PCN641IXH gas hob is a four-burner gas hob in an easy access pattern & front-mounted controls with a stainless steel surface. Easy to Use With a single, medium-sized burner at front centre, flanked by the controls, this appliance is more convenient & easier-to-use than appliances with a conventional grid layout. The unit's 1k W simmering ring is at centre back & the middle zone offers a medium-sized ring & a powerful 3k W burner for larger pots & frying pans. Rotary control knobs are at the front & automatic ignition makes for convenient one-handed operation. Good looks The black, cast-iron pan supports are pleasingly curved at the front & make a stylish contrast with the hob's stainless steel surface. Safety guarantee If the flame accidentally goes out or if a burner is left on for a very long period without intervention, the gas is shut off from the source. This automatic shut off gives you peace of mind over kitchen safety at all times. Please note: there should be a minimum height clearance of 75cm between a gas hob & the cooker hood above it.
