Gas stove with oven CASTA S7/KUG4LE

A professional gas stove with an integrated electric oven combines direct flame control on the hob with steady radiant heat inside the chamber. The open gas burners heat pots and pans instantly, responding to the valve as soon as it is turned, while the electric oven uses upper and lower elements to surround the food with consistent warmth. This dual system lets the chef sear, simmer or roast simultaneously, matching the method to each dish without waiting for the appliance to adjust.

On the hob, four chrome-plated burners offer two heat levels: the larger pair delivers rapid boiling and frying, while the smaller ones hold a gentle flame for sauces and slow reductions. Each burner is lit manually with a match or taper, and the thermocouple safety device shuts off the gas if the flame is accidentally extinguished. Below, the static electric oven holds a full GN 2/1 tray and provides separate thermostats for the top and bottom elements.

The sequence begins by lighting the required burner, adjusting the valve to the desired flame height and placing the pan on the trivet. For oven use, the door is opened, the tray slid onto the runners and the door closed. The two thermostats are set to the recipe temperatures, and the oven is switched on. During operation the door remains sealed by a gasket, trapping heat and reducing energy waste. Once cooking is complete, the burners are turned off and the oven allowed to cool before the tray is removed.

Construction is entirely stainless steel: the hob surround, oven chamber and door are AISI 430, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning at high temperatures. The adjustable feet are AISI 304, providing a stable base that can be levelled to suit uneven floors. Control knobs and handles are made from a heat-resistant composite with a cool-grip surface, ensuring safe operation even when the appliance is hot.

The gas burners are rated at 3.2 kW and 4.5 kW each, giving a total hob load that matches the output of a standard commercial gas supply. The electric oven draws 5.48 kW, requiring a 400 V three-phase circuit commonly found in professional kitchens. The 800 mm width fits standard worktop runs, while the 700 mm depth leaves room for rear clearance and extraction.

Cleaning follows the materials: the stainless steel surfaces are wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasives that could scratch the finish. The oven gasket is checked regularly for wear and replaced if it no longer seals tightly. The burners are lifted off for thorough cleaning, and the flame ports cleared of any debris to maintain even combustion.

The SMART S7/KUG4LE is a single model with no variants, designed as a complete cooking station for professional kitchens where both hob and oven are needed in one unit.
