Convection oven ALBA 11980000A/3

A professional electric oven that stacks three independent chambers in one floor-standing unit, each chamber controlled separately for simultaneous baking, roasting or proofing at different temperatures. The heating elements in each chamber generate radiant heat, which the enamelled interior reflects evenly across the food. This radiant method avoids the drying effect of forced air, keeping roasts juicy and pastries light while still delivering the speed expected in a commercial kitchen.

Each chamber is loaded from the front with a wire grid supplied for each oven. The operator sets the desired temperature on the individual thermostat, which is confirmed by an indicator light. Once the chamber reaches the set point, the light cycles to show the oven is holding temperature. The lower heating element in each chamber tilts forward, allowing grease and crumbs to be wiped away without reaching into the hot interior. The door is moulded to create an air gap that acts as a seal, eliminating the need for replaceable gaskets, and the insulated handle stays cool to the touch.

The oven is built on a stainless steel frame and clad in food-grade AISI 304 stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and staining in a busy kitchen. The enamelled inner surface improves heat distribution and reduces hot spots, while the external finish withstands splashing water and frequent cleaning. The unit stands on adjustable feet to level it on uneven floors, and the overall footprint is designed to fit through standard kitchen doorways.

Power is supplied via a three-phase 400 V circuit, which spreads the electrical load across three live conductors and a neutral, reducing the current on any single wire and allowing the oven to run on standard commercial wiring. The 12 kW rating reflects the total connected load when all three chambers are operating at full temperature. The temperature range of 50 to 300 °C covers everything from gentle proofing of dough to high-heat roasting and baking.

Cleaning is simplified by the tilting lower elements and the absence of door seals. After each service the interior is wiped down with a damp cloth, and the wire grids are removed for separate washing. The external surfaces are cleaned with a mild detergent and water, avoiding abrasive pads that could damage the stainless steel finish. The IP34 rating ensures that occasional splashes from taps or sinks will not penetrate the electrical components.

The oven is supplied with one wire grid per chamber. No other variants or accessories are listed for this model.
