FAQs

1. What size bench space does a 6 burner gas cooktop need?

Most 6 burner cooktops are 90cm or wider, some models go up to 111cm. The required bench cut-out is always slightly smaller than the overall cooktop width, so measure carefully and check the product specifications before cutting your bench. You will also need to confirm that your kitchen cabinetry is structurally suited to support a wide, heavy appliance, and that your gas supply has sufficient capacity to run multiple high-output burners simultaneously.

2. How do I choose the best 6 burner gas cooktop for my kitchen?

Confirm your bench width and cut-out dimensions first. Not all kitchens are built to accommodate a 90cm or wider cooktop without modification. Think about the burner configuration you want: how many high-output wok or power burners, and whether you need a dual-ring burner or dedicated simmer burners for delicate cooking alongside the high-heat zones. Also check that your gas supply can handle the combined output of six burners running simultaneously.

3. How many wok burners does a 6 burner gas cooktop have?

Most 6 burner cooktops include 1-2 high-output burners suitable for wok cooking, alongside 4 or 5 medium and simmer burners spread across the full width. The exact configuration varies between models, so check the product specifications for the individual burner output ratings before buying. Having multiple high-output zones is particularly useful when you are cooking for a crowd and need to run two woks or large pots at full heat simultaneously.

4. Does a 6 burner gas cooktop need a special rangehood?

Yes. A rangehood should be at least as wide as the cooktop for effective extraction coverage. A 90cm or 111cm cooktop needs a rangehood of matching or greater width, which can be a commercial or custom-specification size. For indoor kitchens, a custom canopy rangehood may need to be specified through a kitchen designer. Browse our rangehoods range to explore options that suit wider cooktops.

5. Can a 6 burner gas cooktop be used with LPG?

Yes. Like other gas cooktops, 6 burner models can typically be configured for LPG use via a conversion kit fitted by a licensed gas fitter. Keep in mind that running many high-output burners simultaneously will consume LPG more quickly than a smaller cooktop, so having a larger gas bottle or a dual-bottle system is worth planning for if you use LPG regularly.
