Where to buy the Bertazzoni P604LHERAX hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Bertazzoni P604LHERAX gas hob combines Heritage styling with a practical four-burner layout and a lateral 4kW wok burner. Its brass burners, metal knobs, cast-iron pan supports, integrated ignition and flame-failure device provide a well-equipped traditional cooking setup. The trade-offs are the limited four-zone capacity, additional cleaning compared with a smooth induction surface and the need for both gas and electrical connections.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Powerful lateral 4kW wok burner for high-heat cooking
- ✓ A traditional gas cooking layout
- ✓ Give heavy cookware a stable base
- ✓ Flame-failure protection helps stop the gas supply if a flame goes out
- ✓ Distinctive ivory and stainless Heritage styling
Worth considering
- Less cooking capacity than the wider five-burner Heritage models
- And individual burner parts require more cleaning than a flat glass hob surface
- It needs both a gas connection and a 220–240V electrical supply for ignition, making installation more involved than a portable or purely electric appliance
- The rapid surface cooling and flat, wipe-clean cooking area associated with induction

Cooking performance
The Bertazzoni P604LHERAX gas hob has four brass burners, including a lateral 4kW wok burner. That gives it useful high-heat capability for stir-frying, searing and boiling, while the semi-rapid and auxiliary burners cover everyday saucepan and simmering duties.
The gas layout offers direct visual control over the flame, although it will not provide the rapid surface cooling or flat cooking surface associated with induction. The lateral wok position also means buyers should plan pan placement carefully when using several large pans at once.
Controls and everyday usability
Metal rotary knobs provide straightforward manual control, and the hob includes integrated ignition for one-hand lighting. A flame-failure device is fitted to stop the gas supply if a flame is accidentally extinguished, adding an important practical safety feature.
Cast-iron pan supports provide a stable base for heavier cookware and suit the traditional gas cooking experience. They are more substantial than lightweight supports, but the separate supports and burner components require more cleaning than a smooth glass hob surface.
Design and installation
The Heritage design combines an ivory finish with stainless detailing and an enamelled-steel worktop. The styling is more distinctive than a plain stainless-steel hob and should suit traditional or statement kitchen schemes.
It is a standard built-in 60cm hob with an overall size of approximately 60.2cm by 52.2cm and a 56cm by 48cm cut-out. Installation requires a suitable gas connection as well as a 220–240V electrical supply for the ignition system, so it should be fitted by a suitably qualified professional.
Verdict
The Bertazzoni P604LHERAX gas hob is a well-equipped four-zone model for buyers who value traditional gas cooking, substantial pan supports and decorative Heritage styling. Its 4kW wok burner and flame-failure protection are meaningful strengths.
Its main trade-offs are the four-zone capacity, the greater cleaning effort associated with gas components and the need for both gas and electrical connections. It is best suited to a kitchen where appearance and hands-on gas control matter more than induction convenience.
