Cooking performance and layout
The four-zone layout covers common cooking tasks with an auxiliary burner, two semi-rapid burners and an UltraRapid burner. The 3.30kW zone is the standout option for faster heating and higher-heat cooking, while the smaller burner is better suited to gentler tasks.
The available product information identifies the individual burner outputs but does not provide further detail about pan-to-pan spacing or minimum pan sizes. Buyers should therefore check that their preferred cookware will fit comfortably across the layout.
Controls, safety and installation
Four front-mounted rotary controls provide a familiar way to adjust each flame. Automatic ignition removes the need for a separate lighter, and the safety valves are designed to stop the gas flow if a flame is accidentally extinguished.
The hob is specified for G20 natural gas and has a stated installation cut-out of 478–482mm by 555–560mm. Its information also says that LPG conversion is possible using the supplied kit, but installation should be planned around the stated gas requirements and dimensions.
Build and design
Cast-iron pan supports should provide a solid base for cookware and are presented as durable and heat resistant. The brushed stainless-steel surface and chrome controls complement the Victoria range’s retro-inspired styling.
At 595mm wide and 500mm deep, this is a conventional 60cm hob format. The design is particularly well suited to kitchens where the hob is intended to contribute to the overall visual character rather than blend into the worktop.
