LOTUS 4-Burner Gas Range with Electric Oven CF4-78GPE

A professional range that combines gas burners on the hob with a static electric oven below, designed for continuous service in commercial kitchens. The gas burners heat rapidly and respond instantly to the flame control, allowing precise adjustment from a gentle simmer to a rolling boil. Each burner is fitted with a pilot light, a thermocouple and a safety valve that shuts off the gas if the flame is extinguished, preventing leaks. The static electric oven circulates heat evenly from fixed elements, creating a consistent environment for roasting, baking and slow cooking without the need for a fan.

To operate the range, the chef first ensures the gas supply is connected and the electrical circuit is live. The adjustable legs are set to level the unit on the worktop. The pilot lights are lit, then each burner is turned on and adjusted with the water-resistant control knobs. The oven is set to the desired temperature between 50 and 300 °C using the same knobs. A cast-iron grid, sized to hold a standard GN 2/1 gastronorm tray, is placed inside the oven. Once the oven reaches temperature, the tray of food is loaded and the door is closed. The oven maintains the set temperature until the cooking cycle is complete, when the food is removed and the oven turned off.

The entire construction is made from 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel, satin-finished with a Scotch-Brite pattern for durability and ease of cleaning. The 2 mm thick worktop has rounded edges and a rear splash guard to protect the wall. Chrome-plated trim adds resistance to corrosion. Inside the oven, a removable drip tray collects spills, and the front control panel can be detached for access to all internal parts. The unit is supplied with conversion nozzles for either natural gas or LPG, allowing installation in kitchens with either supply.

The 22 kW gas input requires a dedicated gas line capable of delivering the full load without pressure drop, while the 5 kW electrical rating means the oven must be connected to a 400 V three-phase circuit with neutral. The 132 kg weight ensures stability during use but requires two people or a trolley to move the range into position. The 800 mm width fits standard kitchen modules, while the 900 mm height allows comfortable operation without stooping. The oven cavity measures 670 mm wide, 550 mm deep and 340 mm high, accommodating a single GN 2/1 tray.

Cleaning is straightforward: the drip tray is removed and washed, the oven interior is wiped down, and the control panel is detached to reach the burner assemblies. The stainless steel surfaces are resistant to staining and can be cleaned with standard kitchen detergents. The water-resistant control knobs prevent moisture ingress during cleaning.

The range is supplied with one cast-iron grid sized 650 × 530 mm (GN 2/1) and conversion nozzles for LPG or natural gas. Adjustable legs allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors, ensuring stability during cooking.
