Electrolux Frigidaire Professional FPGC3077RS 30" Gas Cooktop in Stainless Steel

Overview

The Frigidaire Professional FPGC3077RS is a 30 inch stainless steel gas cooktop with five sealed burners under continuous cast iron grates. Output runs from a 5,000 BTU simmer burner to an 18,200 BTU center burner, and a cast iron griddle and LP conversion kit are in the box.

This sits at the point where a mainstream brand starts borrowing professional hardware. The continuous grate surface lets a heavy stock pot slide between burners instead of being lifted, the knobs are metal rather than plastic, and the center burner is a genuine high output element rather than a marketing number. The included griddle spans the middle, which turns the cooktop into a breakfast surface without buying anything extra.

• Five sealed burners, 5,000 to 18,200 BTU
• Continuous cast iron grates, dishwasher safe
• Cast iron griddle and LP conversion kit included
• Cutout 28-1/4 to 28-5/8 in. W x 19-3/8 to 19-3/4 in. D

Who it's for

Made for a kitchen remodel or a like for like replacement where a 30 inch cutout already exists, and for cooks who want serious boiling power plus a low simmer in the same lineup. Propane users are covered since the conversion kit ships with it. It is not a project for someone unwilling to hire a gas fitter if the connection is not already there.

What buyers say

From Amazon customer reviews.

Installers report this dropping straight into existing 30 inch cutouts, including replacements for older GE and JennAir units, and one owner documented a full propane conversion using the supplied orifices. The metal knobs are a repeated selling point among buyers who researched broken plastic knobs on rival models, and several were surprised that the cast iron griddle and a bottle of stainless cleaner were included without being listed. Criticisms are specific: the center burner lights noticeably slower for one owner, its low flame is invisible enough to leave on accidentally, staining develops around the burners that supplied cleaner did not lift, and mounting brackets are awkward in a standard 30 inch base cabinet.

Performance notes

The burner spread is what makes this workable day to day: 18,200 BTU in the center for stock pots and searing, 12,000 at the right front for general cooking, two 9,500 burners on the left, and a 5,000 BTU right rear for holding sauces. Electronic pilotless ignition means it needs a 120V outlet and a 5 amp circuit even though the heat is gas. Cutout requirements are 28-1/4 to 28-5/8 inches wide by 19-3/8 to 19-3/4 deep with 8 inches of depth below.
