Gas stove with oven CASTA F7/KUG4LE

This appliance is a gas stove with an integrated electric oven, model F7/KUG4LE, from the brand CASTA.

A gas stove operates by supplying gas to open burners, which ignite to provide direct heat for cooking. This model features chrome-plated open gas burners. The integrated electric oven functions by using sheathed heating elements to generate heat, which is then contained within the oven cavity to cook food. This type of oven is static, meaning it relies on natural convection to distribute heat.

Operation begins with manual ignition of the gas burners. Each burner is equipped with a gas valve for controlling the flame and a thermocouple for safety, which cuts off the gas supply if the flame is extinguished. The electric oven has independent upper and lower heating elements, each controlled by its own thermostat, allowing for separate temperature regulation of the top and bottom of the oven cavity. The oven interior is constructed from AISI 430 stainless steel, and the door is also made of AISI 430 steel and fitted with a gasket for insulation.

Construction details include chrome-plated open gas burners, with outputs of 2x3.5 kW and 2x6.0 kW. The unit has an integrated GN 2/1 size static electric oven with two sheathed heating elements. The oven chamber and door are made of AISI 430 stainless steel. Control knobs and handles are made from heat-resistant material with cool-grip technology. The appliance stands on adjustable feet made of AISI 304 stainless steel.

The controls consist of gas valves for each burner and separate thermostats for the upper and lower heating elements in the electric oven. Knobs and handles operate these controls.

The total gas output is 2x3.5 kW plus 2x6.0 kW. The electric oven operates on a 400 V, 3-phase supply, with a total power consumption of 5.48 kW. The overall dimensions of the stove are 800 mm in length, 700 mm in width, and 850 mm in height.

Cleaning of the AISI 430 stainless steel oven interior and door, along with the chrome-plated burners, is recommended. The adjustable feet are made of AISI 304 stainless steel.
