How many burners for the gas hob will u guys choose? 2 or 3 burners?

Yup. ABSOLUTELY YES!

how about domino hobs,

was thinking 1 induction + 1 gas

there are hobs that is 60cm wide

can you provide suggestions?
i've check a few, xde...

nowadays gas burners very difficult to find 60cm size
so only options are radiant or induction types
or you could go for those domino hobs like you mentioned earlier but they are expensive

do you have any preference? gas, induction, or radiant?
and budget?

actually can get less than 70cm, some european brands using 4 burners like this


However, it would b harder to get replacement in future as most hobs are now rectangular shape.

gas priority n induction

below rm2k if possible

nice. what brand is this?

Hi guys..need some advice. My cooker hood is installed about 77-78cm from my counter top (using gas hob).

I'm using Rubine MCH-LAZIO hood with 1200 m3/h suction power. The user guide recommends 65-70cm above the counter top.

Did some googling and most people recommend the hood to be higher when using gas hob (minimum 75cm).

What do you guys think? If above 75cm will it affect the efficiency of the hood?

My kitchen is open concept so I need the suction to be good so that the smell won't go to the living room.

you cant find 600mm gas hobs nowadays
now heng those so-called Asian Hobs.....all about 700-800mm
if you can fit only 600mm hobs, have to go for Induction or Radiant. Any brand also got.

or get a domino size 300mm

You must also take into consideration the type of hob. If it is gas type, you need to mount it higher, if induction, you can mount it lower. So read your hob's instruction about how high to mount the hood.

for example, my hob's instruction says "to install 65cm from lowest part of hood"
and my hood's instruction says "install hood not lower than 50cm if using electric hob, and 65cm if using gas hob"

so for my case, if I am using induction, the hood can be as low as 50cm
if gas hob then, 65cm, no lower than that.

installing a bit higher doesnt posed any problems other than maybe a drop in efficiency

follow the manufacturer's instruction is best.

The instruction doesn't specifically mention gas or electric hob though (but from the illustration it looks like electric hob )

Drop in efficiency is what I'm worried about since like I said, it's an open kitchen.

I wonder why the difference between gas and electric hob is 15cm though, since the gas hob is not even 15cm in height

mine does says the difference if choose gas or electric
the answer is simple - gas is an open flame, electric is not

You should offer to go to your "showroom"

Your point make sense, also because gas have this stand to hold the cooking wok/pan that lift the wok higher.

i no "showroom", only got my instruction manuals to read for the moment
yup you are right, the pan/wok stand also makes it higher

Manay people ask where my showroom located

Think I sound like a seller already.

I thought you sell Rinnai?

A good product with bad marketing.. Must help must help...

any good installer for FOTILE hood and hob to recommend?
