Gas Convection Ovens

TECNOEKA gas convection ovens for the HoReCa kitchen offer gas combustion efficiency combined with modern hot air circulation technology, ensuring even heat distribution throughout the oven chamber.

Operating principle of a gas convection oven

A TECNOEKA gas convection oven uses gas burners as a heat source – gas combustion generates heat, which fans distribute throughout the oven chamber, ensuring a uniform temperature on all racks. Gas burners typically provide faster heating than electric elements, reducing waiting time at the start of a shift. Gas models can be connected to natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas – the specification is indicated in the technical data for each model. Steam injection in TECNOEKA gas models is available as an option, allowing control of the oven chamber’s humidity during cooking.

Electric vs gas convection oven – the choice

A gas convection oven is more cost-effective if the kitchen has access to natural gas and the gas tariff is lower than the electricity tariff – this situation is common in commercial kitchen buildings. Electric convection ovens are simpler to install – no gas supply or gas equipment permits are required. Gas ovens are usually harder to relocate and require professional installation with a gas connection.

HACCP and safety requirements for gas ovens

For gas convection ovens, the HACCP requirements for thermal processing are identical to those for electric ovens – the internal temperature of products must reach safe minimums (meat +71°C, poultry +74°C). In addition to thermal requirements, gas ovens must ensure proper ventilation and exhaust of combustion gases in accordance with the operating rules for gas equipment. Each gas appliance requires professional installation and inspection to comply with safety regulations. Regular cleaning and maintenance of gas burners ensure the equipment operates safely and efficiently, reducing long-term gas consumption.

HoReCa applications

In restaurants with access to a gas network, TECNOEKA gas convection ovens provide efficient daily meal preparation with lower energy costs than their electric counterparts, while retaining the advantages of even heat distribution. In hotel industrial kitchens, where speed and capacity are critical, gas convection ovens with rapid heating help prepare large batches of food during breakfast service. In catering businesses, gas convection ovens are a cost-effective investment for high-volume daily production with lower long-term operating costs. BHS supplies TECNOEKA gas convection ovens to HoReCa establishments and provides consultation on model selection.

Frequently asked questions

Can a TECNOEKA gas oven be converted from natural gas to liquefied petroleum gas? Most TECNOEKA gas models are adaptable to different gas types with burner adjustment or part replacement, which must be performed by a certified specialist. Check specific conversion options with BHS consultants.
