Zero Appliances 5BURNSSHOB 5 Burner Gas Hob with Wok Burner and FFD, Stainless Steel

The Zero 5BURNSSHOB is a five-burner stainless steel gas hob that installs into a countertop or sits directly on the counter using included rubber feet — no carpentry required to use it. A 3300W triple-ring wok burner sits at the centre for serious high-heat cooking. All five burners have Flame Failure Devices. Battery ignition means no mains power needed to light it. This is a full kitchen hob that works during load shedding, works for renters, and works in a new kitchen before the cabinetry is done.

The triple-ring wok burner at 3300W is the feature most domestic gas hobs don’t have. A standard large burner runs at 1800-2000W, which is adequate for most cooking. At 3300W, the wok burner reaches the heat level that stir-frying and wok cooking actually requires — the kind of direct, intense heat that makes the difference between proper wok hei and food that just steams. Next to it: a 3000W rapid burner for fast boiling, two 1750W semi-rapid burners for general cooking, and a 1000W auxiliary burner for gentle simmering. Five distinct heat zones covering the full range from a delicate beurre blanc to a full rolling boil.

FFD on every burner is standard on this hob, not an upgrade. Each thermocouple monitors its own flame continuously. If a pot boils over and kills the flame, or a draught comes through an open window, the gas supply to that burner cuts automatically within seconds. No gas leak scenario. This is also the safety specification required for indoor kitchen installation under South African regulations — an indoor gas hob without FFD on all burners is not compliant.

The dual-purpose design is practical for a range of situations beyond a standard kitchen installation. The hob comes with rubber feet that allow it to sit directly on any stable flat surface — no cutout, no built-in installation needed. Renters can use it immediately and remove it cleanly. Homeowners doing a phased kitchen renovation can get cooking before cabinetry is complete. For built-in installation, the template cut-out is 835mm x 475mm, compatible with standard kitchen countertop configurations. Cast iron pot supports sit on a stainless steel base — stable for heavy pots, easy to wipe down, resistant to heat discolouration over time.

Battery ignition runs off a single 1.5V D-Cell battery with no mains power connection. Load shedding does not interrupt cooking. Order now and get free delivery to your door anywhere in South Africa.

Note: When installing as a built-in hob, a qualified gas installer must complete the installation and issue a Certificate of Compliance (COC) as required by South African regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this hob without cutting into my counter?

Yes. The 5BURNSSHOB includes rubber feet that allow it to sit directly on top of any stable, heat-resistant flat surface — a kitchen counter, a workbench, or a patio table. No cutting, no installation, no carpentry. This makes it suitable for renters who cannot modify their kitchen, for temporary setups, and for homeowners who want to cook immediately while a kitchen renovation is in progress. For permanent built-in installation, the countertop cut-out is 835mm wide x 475mm deep.

Do I need a professional to connect the gas?

Yes, for any fixed installation. South African regulations require all gas connections to be completed by a qualified gas installer, and a Certificate of Compliance (COC) must be issued after installation. For freestanding use via the included rubber feet, you are connecting the hob to a portable LPG cylinder using a regulator and hose — this does not typically require a COC, but you should ensure the regulator and hose are in good condition and appropriate for LPG use. If in doubt, consult a registered gas installer.
