Gas convection oven FM industrial STG 71 V7 GAS

A gas convection oven circulates hot air with a fan, spreading heat evenly around every tray. The fan speed can be adjusted to control how quickly the air moves, which affects browning, moisture retention and cooking time. Gas burners heat the air, and the oven maintains the set temperature by cycling the burners on and off. This method cooks food faster and more uniformly than static heat, and allows multiple trays to be loaded at once without flavour transfer.

To operate the STG 71 V7, the user selects a programme or sets temperature and time manually on the touch control panel. Trays of food are loaded onto the runners, spaced 67 mm apart. The door is closed and the oven started. During cooking, the interior lamp stays on so the progress can be checked without opening the door. An end-of-cycle signal sounds when the time elapses. The oven can be set to hold the food at serving temperature or to cool it gradually. After use, the self-cleaning function is activated from the same panel.

The oven is built with a stainless-steel exterior and interior. The door has a foldable glass panel that allows full view of the cavity. A 3/4” water connection supplies steam for climate control. Inside, an LED lamp illuminates the trays, and a multipoint probe monitors the temperature at different points to maintain accuracy.

The touch control system offers preheating, cooling, regeneration, fermentation and scheduling modes. Fan speed can be set from 1 to 10, and steam can be added or reduced to adjust humidity. Recipes can be saved and edited via the USB port, and a reverse function allows the oven to run the programme in reverse for delicate items. A safety thermostat cuts the gas supply if the temperature exceeds the safe limit.

With a capacity of 7x1/1 GN trays, the oven fits standard gastronorm pans. The footprint of 790 mm wide, 900 mm deep and 840 mm high determines the space it occupies on the worktop or floor. The weight of 119 kg requires two people or a trolley to move it. The 400 V electrical supply powers the control system and fan, while the 0.65 kW rating indicates the load on the circuit. The temperature range up to 300 °C covers baking, roasting and regeneration.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless-steel surfaces and running the self-cleaning cycle. The foldable glass door can be opened fully for access. The water connection should be checked periodically for leaks, and the fan and burners inspected for grease build-up.

The STG 71 V7 is a gas model with the V7 touch control system. It is categorised under professional convection ovens for catering kitchens.
