Gasmax RB-6E 6 Burner Natural Gas Benchtop Cooktop 902mm | 144Mj

[GASMAX_MSG]

The Gasmax RB-6E Commercial Benchtop 6 Burner Natural Gas Cooktop with Splashback (902mm Wide) is a heavy-duty, high-output boiling top engineered specifically for Australian restaurants, pubs, bistros, cafes, catering operations, and commercial cooklines operating on mains Natural Gas. Measuring 902 mm Wide x 824 mm Deep x 575 mm High (inclusive of the rear splashback) and weighing a substantial 84 kg, this 900mm-format benchtop gas range delivers a total power rating of 144 Mj/h across six independently controlled 24 Mj/h open burners. Constructed from commercial-grade food-safe stainless steel with continuous heavy-duty flat cast-iron trivets, integrated thermocouple flame failure safety devices, push-button piezo ignition, an integrated rear stainless steel splashback, and removable stainless steel drip pans, the RB-6E provides high-capacity pan-searing, boiling, and sautéing performance on a standard 3/4" BSP gas connection.

Why Australian commercial food service operators choose the Gasmax RB-6E:

• High-power 144 Mj/h Natural Gas manifold — six independently regulated 24 Mj/h burners deliver fast heat recovery, responsive flame modulation, and rapid boiling cycles during peak lunch and dinner services.

• Continuous flat cast-iron trivets — heavy-duty flat-top grates form an unbroken, level cooking plane that allows kitchen staff to slide heavy stockpots, woks, and frying pans across the cooktop without lifting, minimising strain and burn hazards.

• Certified flame failure safety devices — every open burner is fitted with a thermoelectric flame failure safety valve that instantly cuts off the gas supply if a flame is accidentally blown out, satisfying strict Australian gas safety regulations.

• Integrated stainless steel rear splashback — built-in stainless steel splash guard protects rear wall tiling and service lines from grease splatters while guiding heat upwards into the commercial exhaust hood canopy.

• Push-button piezo ignition system — independent piezo pilot ignition allows quick, reliable lighting of burners without external hand lighters or taper sticks.

• Removable stainless steel drip pans — full-width, slide-out stainless steel waste catchment trays sit directly beneath the burners to catch oil drips and boil-overs, facilitating quick mid-service wipe-downs.

• Heavy-duty adjustable levelling feet (45mm range) — sturdy stainless steel legs provide up to 45 mm of height adjustment, ensuring a solid, level hob surface on uneven commercial kitchen floors or modular benchtops.

• Durable food-grade stainless steel build — commercial-gauge stainless steel casing and front control fascia resist corrosion, grease ingress, and mechanical impact.

• Modular stand compatibility (RB-6-SE & RB-6-SEN) — purpose-built to mount directly onto matching Gasmax stainless steel equipment stands (sold separately), allowing operators to convert the benchtop unit into a freestanding cooking suite with an undershelf.

• Up to 4-year warranty protection — backed by an Australian 2-Year parts and labour commercial warranty, extendable to an additional 2-Year parts-only warranty upon product registration within 14 days of invoice.

Technical Specifications

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

1. Flat Cast-Iron Trivet Care: At the conclusion of service, lift off the heavy-duty flat trivets and brush away carbonised debris using a stiff brass-bristle brush. Wash with warm water and neutral detergent if required, dry thoroughly, and season with a light coating of high-smoke-point cooking oil to prevent surface oxidation and rust.

2. Burner Head Inspection: Inspect burner ports regularly. Clear away boil-overs, dried sauces, or grease accumulation using a soft wire pick to keep gas orifices unblocked and maintain clean, blue, oxygen-balanced flames.

3. Stainless Steel Drip Tray Emptying: Slide out the stainless steel drip trays daily. Scrape out food scraps, oil, and char debris, then wash the trays in a commercial pot wash sink with warm water and an approved commercial degreaser.

4. Stainless Steel Body Cleaning: Wipe down the front control fascia, side panels, and integrated rear splashback with a soft microfibre cloth and warm soapy water, rubbing in the direction of the metal grain. Never pour cold water directly over hot cast-iron trivets or burners to prevent thermal shock and casting fractures.

Gas Installation, Ventilation & Commissioning Notice

The Gasmax RB-6E is a high-power commercial gas appliance requiring certified trade installation:

1. Licensed Gas Fitter Commissioning: The unit must be installed, pressure-tested, and commissioned by an authorised, licensed gas fitter in strict compliance with current AS/NZS 5601 gas installation regulations, local council health bylaws, and manufacturer specifications. An official gas compliance certificate must be retained to validate warranty coverage.

2. Gas Supply Line & Sizing: Calibrated for reticulated Natural Gas and supplied with a 3/4" gas regulator. Ensure the incoming mains gas supply pipework, isolation valve, and regulator are sized adequately to maintain rated working pressure without pressure drop when all six burners run simultaneously at 144 Mj/h.

3. Exhaust Extraction Requirements: Operating six open burners generates significant heat, combustion gases, and grease vapour. The unit must be placed directly beneath an approved commercial kitchen exhaust extraction hood compliant with AS 1668.2.

4. Bench Clearances & Heat Protection: Install the unit on a non-combustible commercial stainless steel workbench or dedicated equipment stand. Maintain minimum clearances of at least 150 mm from combustible walls and surfaces, or 50 mm from non-combustible partitions.

Freight & Delivery Notice

Standard commercial freight delivery is available Australia-wide to commercial business addresses with level ground access or loading docks. Due to the unit's substantial 84 kg net weight and palletised crated dimensions, deliveries to residential or non-commercial addresses require a customised tail-lift freight quote. Please contact our friendly commercial sales team prior to placing your order to verify site access, delivery doorway clearances (minimum 850 mm clear opening recommended), or to add a matching RB-6-SE or RB-6-SEN stand to your consignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the operational advantages of continuous flat trivets on the RB-6E?

Continuous flat cast-iron trivets create an unbroken, level cooking plane across all six burners. In high-tempo commercial kitchens, this allows chefs to slide heavy stockpots, large sauteuse pans, and boiling vessels from one burner to another without lifting, reducing physical strain and minimising spill hazards during service.

Can this benchtop cooktop be mounted on a freestanding stand?

Yes. Gasmax manufactures matching stainless steel equipment stands engineered specifically for this unit: the RB-6-SE and RB-6-SEN. These purpose-built stands match the exact 902 mm x 824 mm footprint, raising the cooktop to standard commercial working hob height (900 mm) while providing an undershelf for pot and pan storage.

Does this cooktop require an electrical connection?

No. The Gasmax RB-6E utilises mechanical gas control valves and an independent push-button piezo ignition system operating entirely on gas pressure. It requires zero electrical outlets, leads, or phase wiring, making it versatile for commercial kitchens with limited power points.

What is the purpose of the 45mm adjustable height legs?

Commercial kitchen floors, trench grates, and stainless steel worktables often feature slight grade variations for water drainage. The 45 mm height-adjustable threaded legs allow operators to level the cooktop accurately, ensuring cooking oils and liquids remain evenly distributed across pans.

How do I activate the 4-year warranty coverage?

The Gasmax RB-6E comes standard with a 2-Year commercial parts and labour warranty. Kitchen operators who register their purchase online with the manufacturer within 14 days of the original invoice date receive an additional 2-Year parts-only warranty extension, providing up to 4 years of comprehensive commercial protection across Australia.
