## Long description

The Whirlpool AKM 268/IX is a built-in gas hob with a stainless steel surface, four cooking zones and rotary controls located at the top right. It measures 580 mm in width, 500 mm in depth and 41 mm in height, with a connected load of 7300 W and is designed for installation into a 560 × 490 mm cut-out. The unit supports connection to natural or liquefied gas and combines stainless-steel durability with a compact, contemporary design.
Advantages
The hob features four burners of different power ratings to accommodate a variety of cookware sizes and cooking needs. An automatic gas safety cut-off (flame failure device) stops gas flow if a flame goes out. Built-in electric ignition lets you light burners instantly using the rotary knobs, eliminating the need for external lighters. The stainless steel top is corrosion-resistant, easy to clean and retains its appearance over time. Controls are simple rotary knobs placed for convenient access.

Small to medium domestic kitchens requiring a built-in 60 cm gas hob
Users who need a compact cooktop with four cooking zones
Homes using natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
Installations with a 560 mm × 490 mm cut-out
