LOTUS Gas Range with Electric Multifunction Oven 70 CFV4-78GPE/V

A gas range that combines four open burners on the hob with a multifunction electric oven below gives a professional kitchen simultaneous high-output cooking and controlled baking, roasting or grilling. The burners draw natural or LPG gas, ignite with a pilot flame and hold the set heat through a thermocouple and safety valve on each ring. Below, the electric oven circulates hot air in several programmed patterns, spreading heat evenly around the load without the need to rotate trays. This method shortens cooking times and reduces hot spots, so batches come out consistent and repeatable.

To start, the operator lights the pilot flames, selects the gas ring and sets the flame height with the waterproof control knobs. Pans sit on cast-iron grates that distribute weight and resist warping over time. In the oven, the user chooses a function—convection bake, grill, fan-assisted roast or others—then sets the temperature between 50 and 260 °C. The glass door allows visual monitoring without opening the cavity, which would lose heat. When the cycle finishes, the oven cools and the burners are turned off; the pilot flames remain lit until the gas supply is shut at the wall.

The range is built from 18/10 grade 304 stainless steel throughout, with a 2 mm satin-finish worktop, rounded edges and chrome trim. A rear splash guard protects the wall, and the control panel is rated IPX5 for water resistance. The oven interior includes a removable drip tray that collects spills and grease, making cleaning faster. All internal parts are accessible by removing the front control panel and the drip tray, so maintenance is straightforward.

The 800 mm width fits standard worktop spaces, while the 132 kg weight requires a solid floor and two-person handling. The 22 kW gas input demands a commercial gas line, and the 5 kW electric load needs a 400 V three-phase supply with neutral or a 230 V three-wire connection, depending on the kitchen's electrical system. Adjustable legs ensure the unit sits level and stable on uneven floors.

The oven's 50–260 °C range covers everything from gentle proofing to high-temperature roasting, while the four burners provide immediate, adjustable heat for saucepans, woks or stockpots. The included wire grid fits the oven cavity, and conversion nozzles for LPG or natural gas are supplied with the unit.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth, removing and washing the drip tray, and brushing the cast-iron grates. The control knobs and pilot-flame assemblies should be checked periodically for blockages or wear, and the thermocouples tested to ensure the safety valves cut the gas if the flame goes out.
