Chef Gas Cooktops
Chef Gas Cooktops for Australian Kitchens
Chef gas cooktops cover 60cm and 90cm widths with three to five burner configurations suited to standard and larger Australian kitchen benchtops. Chef is a long-established Australian kitchen appliance brand, and the gas cooktop range delivers practical everyday cooking performance at accessible price points for households replacing an existing cooktop or fitting out a new kitchen.
Natural Gas and LPG
Chef gas cooktops are typically configured for natural gas at the factory, with most models convertible to LPG using an included or separately available conversion kit. LPG conversion must be carried out by a licensed gasfitter. Confirm your home's gas supply type before purchasing to ensure the correct configuration.
Burner Layout
Standard 60cm Chef gas cooktops include four burners in a mix of wok, semi-rapid, and auxiliary outputs to suit different cooking tasks at the same time. The 90cm models provide additional burners and a larger wok burner suited to households that cook in larger volumes or need the power of a strong central flame for wok-based cooking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Chef gas cooktop require professional installation?
Yes. Gas appliances must be installed and connected by a licensed gasfitter in all Australian states and territories, regardless of whether the home is on natural gas or LPG. The cooktop also needs to be correctly sealed into the benchtop cutout per the manufacturer's installation instructions.
What is the cutout size for a 60cm Chef gas cooktop?
Cutout dimensions vary by model, so always confirm the exact cutout size from the product specifications or installation guide before cutting the benchtop. Most 60cm gas cooktops require a cutout slightly smaller than the overall product dimensions to allow the cooktop to sit on the benchtop surface with the correct overlap.

Can I match a Chef gas cooktop with a Chef rangehood?
Yes. Chef produces both gas cooktops and rangehoods in coordinating finishes, designed to work together for a consistent kitchen appearance. Matching the rangehood width to the cooktop width is the key consideration. Browse the Chef rangehoods range for compatible options.
