Gas convection oven Inoxtrend VSDA011G

A gas convection oven circulates hot air around food with a fan, spreading heat evenly and cutting cooking time. The fan draws air over a gas burner, heats it, then pushes it through ducts that surround the cooking chamber. This method keeps every tray at the same temperature, so dishes finish together and with the same colour and texture. The oven can roast, bake, dry or gently warm without drying out, because the moving air transfers heat faster than still air in a conventional oven.

To start, the operator loads up to eleven GN1/1 gastronorm trays onto the wire racks. The mechanical dials on the front panel set the temperature between 30 °C and 270 °C, the timer, and the fan speed. Once the oven reaches the target temperature—up to 260 °C in fast preheat mode—the fan begins to circulate the air. The AIR.Plus system can reverse direction and switch between two speeds, so the operator can adjust the airflow for delicate pastries or dense joints of meat. LED lighting inside the chamber lets the chef monitor progress without opening the door and losing heat.

The oven is built from AISI 304 stainless steel, a non-corrosive alloy that withstands daily cleaning and meets professional hygiene standards. Rounded corners inside the chamber prevent food debris from collecting, and the double-glazed door keeps the outer surface cool while the inner pane is easy to wipe down.

The 20 kW gas burner draws its supply from a standard catering connection, while the 0.5 kW electric element powers the fan, lights and controls. The voltage requirement of 220–240 V single-phase matches the circuit used by most professional kitchens, so the oven can be installed alongside other equipment without rewiring. The footprint of 920 mm wide by 860 mm deep fits into a standard worktop run, and the height of 1130 mm allows stacking with a second oven using the optional kit, doubling capacity without taking extra floor space.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless-steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then rinsing. The rounded corners and smooth welds reduce areas where grease can build up, and the removable wire racks can be soaked in a sink. The double-glazed door should be cleaned with a glass cleaner to maintain visibility, and the fan guard checked periodically for dust accumulation.

The VSDA011G is a single-deck gas convection oven with mechanical controls, designed for medium workloads of up to fifty meals per day. It is listed in the Inoxtrend Professional Ovens catalogue under gas-fired convection models.
