Gas Cooking Equipment Stands

Yes. An isolation point that cannot be reached is a problem the first time the appliance needs servicing or the kitchen needs to be shut down in a hurry, and your gas fitter will tell you the same thing at commissioning.

That is why these stands are built open rather than closed. The connection detail itself comes from the appliance documentation and the fitter, and our appliance installation page covers what we can arrange.

A licensed gas fitter, every time. This is not a task for kitchen staff or a general handyman, and in Australia the certification at the end of the job is what your insurer and your council will ask for.

We deliver the appliance and the stand; the connection and the certificate come from the trade. If you need that organised as part of the fit-out, ask us and we will point you at the restaurant and cafe fit-out service.

More than electric equipment, and the exact figure is set by the manufacturer for that model. It is published in the appliance manual and it is not something to estimate from a similar unit.

What applies generally is that a gas cooking line belongs under extraction. See commercial kitchen exhaust hoods for the canopy side of it, and read the manual on the product documents page before you set the position.

An open frame or a slatted undershelf is the safer choice under a gas appliance, because it does not trap heat and it does not become a tempting place to stack cardboard. Whatever you store underneath should be non-combustible and easy to move.

Pans and stainless containers are fine. If you need enclosed storage in the same run, put a stainless steel cabinet away from the burner line rather than directly under it.

Level the stand first, on its adjustable feet, and check it with the appliance in place rather than empty. A wok burner takes a lot of lateral force when a loaded wok is worked hard, so any rocking will show up quickly.

Where the force is real, the appliance is often fixed down. That is a decision for the installer. Our gas woks and gas stock pot burners pages list the weights the stand has to deal with.

If the top is long enough for both footprints with a gap between them, and the combined weight is inside the stand's rating. Two gas appliances on one base also means two hoses and two isolation points in the same space, which the fitter has to be able to work with.

Separate stands are usually easier to service and easier to change later. Tell us the combination you want and we will check it against the gas griddle toasters and chargrill footprints.

Daily, because grease falls. The top of the stand, the undershelf and the legs all collect it, and grease left on a stand under a burner is a fire risk rather than a cosmetic problem.

Wipe down with a neutral detergent along the grain and dry it off. For the baked-on areas, use a product made for the job from grill and griddle cleaners rather than an abrasive pad that will scratch the steel.
