Electric convection oven Inoxtrend VSHA304E

A convection oven circulates hot air around food using a fan, distributing heat evenly and reducing cooking times compared to static ovens. The fan draws air over heating elements, then pushes it through the chamber, ensuring consistent temperatures throughout. This method allows dishes to cook faster and more uniformly, making it essential for high-volume kitchens where speed and precision matter.

The VSHA304E from Inoxtrend follows this principle with its AIR.Plus technology, which includes a reversible fan system and two speed settings. The operator loads GN 2/3 gastronorm trays into the chamber, sets the desired temperature between 50 and 270 °C, and selects the fan speed. For added versatility, manual humidity control via STEAM technology adjusts moisture levels during cooking. The oven preheats to a maximum of 260 °C, and the internal LED lighting allows the chef to monitor progress without opening the door.

The cooking chamber is constructed from stainless steel AISI 304, chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion in a busy kitchen. Rounded corners inside the chamber prevent food debris from accumulating, simplifying cleaning. The door features a double inner glass panel, which stays cooler to the touch and is easier to wipe down than single-glass designs. An ergonomic handle ensures smooth opening and closing, even with frequent use.

With a footprint of 720 mm wide, 680 mm deep and 560 mm high, the VSHA304E fits into standard kitchen layouts while leaving room for stacking. A kit allows two units to be stacked vertically, doubling capacity without expanding the floor space. The 3.3 kW power rating indicates the load it places on the electrical supply, requiring a dedicated circuit in most professional settings.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel interior after each service, focusing on the rounded corners and fan blades to remove grease build-up. The external LED lamps avoid the heat and fragility of internal bulbs, reducing maintenance. The reversible fan can be removed for thorough cleaning, though the entry does not specify how often this is needed.

The VSHA304E is designed for compatibility with GN 2/3 trays, holding four at once. It appears in the Inoxtrend catalogue under convection ovens, positioned for medium-volume operations that need flexibility in temperature and airflow control.
