Seldom cook then just those normal rm50-200 type will do. Why want to waste money on something you seldom use? Too much money?
Install the hob near to window and you won't need to use hood also.
Hood need to do regular cleaning also, else it won't work.
When you are cooking, you will still have 20-50% of oil and smoke that the hood can educt out.
Back to basic, no need to see all people has then you need to follow.

- I feel this is completely an unwanted comment. When it's your own place, you want to give your best without splurging too much but still do it tastefully. I find the forumers here (mostly) are generous with the information they share based on their own experience and provide guidance based on the questions/requirement a person post here in a very polite manner. If you really don't have anything to offer at least don't post such a blunt/cold comment just for the sake of posting.

Yes 2 burners.

This is a fact that you can't deny. If you are not going to use it often, why need to buy it?
Better use the money wisely
Trust me, with current so called tastefully ID, it is not practical at all, wood stuffs exposing to oil/smoke won't last long. And you need to spend extra time on cleaning them. Do you know how hard to clean those oil stains? Treat you as a friend only tell you this. People that want to con/slaughter you sure will say good on hood and hob, because they may able to secure business on you.

yeah, my choices are inclining towards 2 burners - practical, I guess. Thanks for your input.

Now your hob will be bigger than your hood
Since you are going for a rinnai hood then you might as well get their hob as well.

Bro, the smallest gas hob by electrolux is 76cm and it's also 2 burners.

Like idoblu mention just now, domino hobs are also small and can buy 2 of them to place side by side. About 30cm per domino hob.

Elelctrolux domino hob is also 30cm.

Can try checking out ariston malaysia to see if they have 2 burner gas hob in the size you need?

I withdrew my post due to the cost of domino hobs

Nowadays 600 size gas hobs are almost non existence. If TS insist on a 600 hood, then a domino hob might fit nicely but the higher cost...

The hood should be slightly bigger than the hob or at least the same size. I haven't seen one installed the opposite way...yet

With hood - I am restricting to 60 cm so that I can fully utilize the space I allocated for KC.
As for the hob - I am trying to compromise a little bit and the max I could compromise is just 75 cm. I am happy if I can find one with 70 cm that covers all the factors that I mentioned in post.

I have not decided the brand for hood, but looks like Rinnai stands a better chance of winning! Do you use Rinnai as well and if yes, how is your experience with it so far? Thanks so much for the tips - every little bit helps me.

Oh - thanks for pointing out, Ariston brand. I didn't even think of it. Will do for sure.

I use rinnai, mine is not the inner burner but the burner is good. My friend use inner burner she like it a lot. Their inner burner are good.

I had a rinnai hob before. It works well and rinnai is suppose to be good for their gas hobs.

Btw who drew your kitchen for you? Yourself or kitchen place?

Nice. Care to share the model no ?

Bro. I just checked mayer singapore to see their ariston gas hob models.

They have a few gas hobs in 75cm and 1 gas hob with 4 burners in 60cm

If you can find the model in malaysia and price is cheaper than in singapore, can consider if the price is within budget?

My best friend who designed his existing house & holiday house back in Melbourne. I gave him the floor plan and we brainstormed about my budget, practicality (needs & wants) etc...and came out with a tentative design. Just need to adjust here and there based on the actual site dimensions.

Excellent! You are so kind, flooding me with all info! Will go through the links shortly and find out the cost here. Thanks so much - and by the way, I am a lady (noticed you addressing me as bro, couple of times )

Oops I am sorry about the gender mix up! A thousand apologies miss!

Do consider fotile as well, they have the 2 burner(round ones) in 73cm sizes. I see many good reviews on fotile so I gave in to a fotile oven myself. One thing to note, if you go for fotile, check zheilwane out for his price or go to homedec fair because there is extended warranty. Not sure if the extended warranty is also for hobs as I got extended warranty for my oven.

I dont know how critical is each mm for your space but off hand, i see that the base section where the hob is, is a bit not correct. if you gonna put a 650-750 hob, the base carcass should be around 900 and you get two doors of 450 each. you are only left about 300 - just nice for a pull out bottle/condiments tray. as in the picture now, the hob wont be able to fit because of the framework in the way.

i havent look at the wall section, on how it will align with the base

also to remember to add 20mm on the edges so that the drawers/doors can open.

Thanks so much for taking a closer look at the layout plan attached. I actually shared it here to just give an idea about where the hood and hob will be placed. I have met a few KC makers who had visited the site just couple of days ago and have advised me on what's possible and what's not. I will be also getting the final 3D design from the KC makers with actual measurements based on the discussion I had with them. Once I get that one, the attached measurements will become invalid. Also, I will ensure that your points are taken into account in the final design.

I also had the same problem. Ended up with Teka, 60cm wide, 3 gas burners and 1 hotplate. Used that for 9 years, still doing ok, but only needs some servicing. I paid about RM900 for that. But I sacrificed wall storage by buying 90cm hood with high suction as I do a lot of cooking.
