The Hotpoint PCN641IXH gas hob is a four-burner gas hob in an easy access pattern and 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 and easier-to-use than appliances with a conventional grid layout. The unit's 1kW simmering ring is at centre back and the middle zone offers a medium-sized ring and a powerful 3kW burner for larger pots and frying pans. Rotary control knobs are at the front and automatic ignition makes for convenient one-handed operation. Good looks The black, cast-iron pan supports are pleasingly curved at the front and 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.
