The four-burner hob is the default cooking point in residential kitchen design — the 600 mm cooktop that anchors the work triangle and sets the extract centreline for the hood above. If you draw kitchens at all, this is the burner block you place most. This page collects free four-burner hob CAD blocks in DWG and DXF, drawn to true millimetre sizes and ready for AutoCAD 2004 or later, free for personal and commercial use with no signup and no watermark.

Because the four-burner hob sits squarely on the standard kitchen module, it drops between base cabinets without leaving a filler gap, and its fixed centreline gives the hood, the gas or power point and the splashback a single line to coordinate around. Drawn to scale, it makes the whole cooking wall fall into place.

What's in a four-burner hob block

The plan view draws the four burner rings in their real arrangement — typically a large and a medium burner on one side, a medium and a small simmer burner on the other — with the pan supports and the control knobs along the front. Showing the burners at true positions matters because it tells you which ring takes the big pan and how the grates relate to the worktop edge.

The elevation carries the control fascia, the knob line and the grate height above the worktop, which is what the hood above is set off — usually 650 to 750 mm of clearance for gas. The rings, grates and knobs sit on separate layers, so the symbol can be simplified for a small-scale plan while the cut-out outline stays accurate.

Plan and elevation, and which you need

For the kitchen layout you work in plan: the four-burner hob set into the worktop, aligned with the base cabinet below, and positioned with the sink and fridge to form the work triangle. The plan block is what fixes the cooking position and the extract centreline, and it is the view the services engineer reads to place the gas or power point.

For joinery drawings, tiling elevations and client presentations you switch to the elevation, where the hob is drawn face-on with knobs and splashback. Many downloads carry both views in a single DWG, so one file builds the plan and the matching elevation.

Standard four-burner hob dimensions

These are the figures to design around, confirmed against the datasheet on a real job. A standard four-burner hob sits on the 600 mm module, with a worktop cut-out usually around 550 to 560 mm wide and 470 to 490 mm deep. Larger 700 to 750 mm four- and five-burner hobs exist for wider runs, and 900 mm range-style cooktops carry five or six burners.

Leave at least 300 mm of worktop landing space on each side of the hob so pan handles have somewhere safe to turn, and keep the hood centred on the cooktop. Avoid placing the hob in a corner or hard against a tall unit, where a pan handle has nowhere to go and the wall finish takes the heat.

Inserting and aligning the hob

The blocks are drawn full size in millimetres. Insert at scale 1 in a millimetre drawing, 0.001 in a metre template, or set INSUNITS to millimetres so AutoCAD rescales on insertion. Run INSERT, snap the insertion point to the centre of the worktop cut-out, and rotate so the control knobs face the front of the run.

Because the hob is a single block reference on its own appliance layer, you can mirror it for a handed layout, array base cabinets either side, and freeze the appliances for a clean cabinet-only plan. If the spec moves from a 600 mm to a 750 mm hob, edit the block once and the hood centreline and cabinet gaps follow.

Where four-burner hobs are used

The four-burner hob is the standard cooking point in family kitchens, apartment kitchens, new-build housing, kitchen showrooms and most residential refurbishments. Interior designers and kitchen specialists place it first to lock the cooking position; architects use it to coordinate the gas, the extract and the worktop run; services engineers use the fixed footprint to set the supply point.

Pair the four-burner hob with the built-in oven, range hood, sink and fridge blocks in the kitchen category to build the complete cooking and prep wall on the 600 mm module, with cabinets closing the run cleanly on each side.

Using the hob as the kitchen's coordination anchor

On a kitchen plan, the four-burner hob does more than mark where the cooking happens — it is the line everything else lines up to. Snap a centreline through the cooktop and that single line sets the hood overhead, the splashback or tiling band behind, and the gas or electrical supply below. Get the hob position right and the rest of the cooking wall coordinates itself; get it wrong and the hood, the tiling and the services all drift apart.

Keeping the hob as a scaled block lets you dimension the setting-out that the installer and the building control officer actually work to: the gap to each side wall, the clearance to any tall unit, and the headroom under the hood. And because every instance points back to one definition, the day a client upgrades from a standard 600 mm hob to a wide five-burner unit, you change the block once and the whole cooking wall — hood, gap, services — re-coordinates with it rather than needing a redraw.

Questions

Frequently asked

What size is a standard four-burner hob block?+

It sits on the 600 mm kitchen module, with a worktop cut-out usually around 550 to 560 mm wide and 470 to 490 mm deep. Wider 700 to 750 mm units carry four or five burners. Confirm the exact cut-out against the appliance datasheet.

How much space should I leave each side of the hob?+

Allow at least 300 mm of worktop landing space on each side so pan handles have somewhere safe to turn. Avoid placing the hob in a corner or hard against a tall unit, where a handle has nowhere to go and the wall finish takes the heat.

Does the four-burner hob set the hood position?+

Yes. Snap a centreline through the cooktop and use it to set the hood overhead, the splashback behind, and the gas or power point below. The hob's centreline is the line the whole cooking wall coordinates around.

Are these four-burner hob blocks free for commercial projects?+

Yes. They download free in DWG and, where available, DXF, with no signup, no watermark and no attribution requirement, and they are cleared for commercial project use.
