  Product Description
Who says you can’t enjoy culinary cooking in your camper, caravan or holiday home? With well designed hobs, ovens, grills and sinks from Thetford, you can! The The Thetford Topline 981 is designed to be as home like as possible. We use the highest quality materials and thoroughly test each appliance to ensure its ultimate safety – and your satisfaction.

For many years, there has been cooking appliances made for the RV market which offer cooking by dual fuel. This combination is mostly gas and mains electric (by solid hotplate). Thetford brings a new level in this duo by introducing the Topline 98 Hybrid series, combining induction and gas cooking. The Topline 98 Hybrid series offers the combination of one induction hob and two gas burners, available in two different glass shapes. Being part of the Topline cooking range, it is made of the highest quality of Schott Ceran black glass, which is both appealing and easy to clean.

Best of both worlds
Induction offers fast cooking, saving time to do other things during your holidays; gas cooking allows you to cook wherever you are, giving you maximum flexibility.

Of course you can also use both induction and gas at the same time, if you have the mains electric connection and gas available. At maximum power, the induction hob requires up to 7A which is nowadays available at almost all campsites throughout Europe. Cooking whenever and wherever you like!

Efficient and convenient
The induction hob warms up quickly, especially with the Automatic Heat Up Function. Induction is also very efficient, converting 90% of supplied power into cooking energy. Therefore almost all heat is used to heat up the pan instead of the glass top. Its also a benefit for the environment too!

Safety first
By heating only the pan, induction cooking also brings you safety, as the glass surface doesn’t get excessively hot and won’t remain warm for long. If the surface is hot, the residual heat will be indicated by the LED sign above the control knob. And if you want to restrict all functions, the built in Child Safety Lock can be easily activated and deactivated.

The design of the hob is determined by the shape of the glass and the positioning of the cooking pans. Both shapes offer a compact yet ergonomic and practical layout, facilitating easy cooking. As you may expect from Thetford the appliances are made of the best quality and come with a 3-year warranty.
