Gas convection oven Tecnoeka KF-1001G-IX-AL

A gas convection oven circulates hot air around the cooking chamber with a fan, spreading heat evenly across every shelf. The fan draws air over gas burners, heating it before pushing it through ducts that surround the cavity. This method eliminates cold spots and cooks food faster than static heat, while humidification keeps roasts moist and crusts crisp. The KF 1001G IX AL from Tecnoeka's EKA line adds a cast iron body that absorbs and radiates heat steadily, reducing temperature swings and gas consumption.

To start the oven, the operator opens the side-hinged door, loads trays onto the wire racks, and sets the desired temperature between 100 °C and 275 °C on the electronic control panel. The proven ignition device lights the burners automatically, and the fan begins circulating hot air. A humidification system can be activated to inject steam during baking, preventing dryness in bread and pastries. The operator monitors the cycle through the glass door and removes trays once the timer signals completion.

The oven's exterior is built from cast iron, chosen for its ability to withstand repeated heating cycles without warping. Inside, the chamber is lined with AISI 430 stainless steel, a grade that resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning. The door opens to the side, allowing full access to the cavity without obstructing the worktop in front.

An 8 kW gas input requires a dedicated supply line capable of delivering steady pressure, typical for professional catering equipment. The temperature range of 100–275 °C covers slow roasting, baking, and high-heat grilling, accommodating menus from delicate pastries to large joints. At 92 kg, the unit is heavy enough to stay stable on the floor but can still be moved with a trolley or two staff. Its 960 mm width, 760 mm depth, and 740 mm height fit standard kitchen layouts, leaving space for ventilation and service access.

After use, the stainless steel chamber wipes clean with a damp cloth, while the cast iron exterior can be dusted or washed with mild detergent. The side-opening door and removable wire racks allow thorough access for descaling and degreasing. No additional versions or variants of this model are listed in the current catalogue.
