Built-in oven ILVE 645SHSW1

A built-in oven that layers steam, microwave energy and hot-air convection in one cavity gives professional kitchens three cooking methods without switching appliances. Steam gently transfers heat through moisture, keeping textures intact; microwaves penetrate food to speed cooking from within; a fan circulates hot air for even browning and crisping. The three modes can run separately or together, letting the operator choose the right balance of speed, moisture and surface finish for each dish. The sequence begins by selecting the mode or combination on the touch screen. Food is loaded on the wire racks or in oven-safe dishes, then the door is closed. Once the programme starts, the oven maintains the set temperature and humidity level automatically. During cooking, the operator can monitor progress through the glass door or adjust settings mid-cycle. When the timer ends, the oven switches to standby and the food is removed. The 60 cm-wide chassis is constructed from stainless steel and fits standard kitchen cabinetry. A single 3.4 kW heating element powers the convection and steam functions, while the microwave generator sits behind the cavity wall. The touch screen display controls all three modes, setting temperature, humidity, power level and duration. A 3.4 kW power rating means the oven requires its own dedicated circuit to avoid overloading shared kitchen supplies. The 600 mm width and 450 mm height match standard built-in dimensions, allowing straightforward installation in existing cabinetry. The 36 litre capacity holds multiple trays or large roasting pans without crowding. The seamless stainless-steel cavity and rounded corners let grease and steam condensate slide off without trapping residue, so wiping with a damp cloth restores the oven to working condition after every service. Stainless-steel interior surfaces wipe clean after each use; the wire racks and enamel-coated trays can be removed for washing. The touch screen is kept free of grease with a damp cloth, and the cavity is periodically descaled to remove mineral deposits from steam cooking. The ILVE Professional Plus 645SHSW1 is a single-cavity trivalent oven with no additional variants listed. It is categorised under built-in professional ovens in the manufacturer's catalogue.
