The Buffalo 600 series has carved out a niche for being incredibly practical, and this electric oven range is a prime example. It delivers on the core promise: reliable, no-fuss cooking.

It's robust, straightforward, and built to be used all day, every day.
Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →
Best Feature: The fan-assisted oven provides remarkably even cooking for a unit this size.
Heads-Up: The hob requires a 3-phase supply, so check your kitchen's wiring first.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Bistro in Bristol was struggling with an ageing domestic oven that couldn't keep up with their popular lunch service. They needed a professional upgrade that wouldn't require a full kitchen refit.
"The Buffalo range slotted in perfectly. The oven heats up so much faster and cooks evenly, which is a huge relief during a busy service. The hob gives us the extra capacity we desperately needed. It’s just a solid, reliable piece of kit."
Michael Davies – Owner & Head Chef
Since installation, the bistro has successfully reduced service times during peak hours and increased its daily output by over 30%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the oven is placed on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface.
- This unit must be hardwired into your mains power by a qualified electrician.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the unit for proper air circulation and ventilation.
- Before first use, heat the oven to its maximum temperature for 30 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues.
Keeping It Going
- After each service, wipe down the sealed hob top with a damp cloth and suitable cleaner.
- Regularly remove the shelves and clean the inside of the oven to prevent food and grease build-up.
- Check the oven door seal periodically for any damage to ensure heat isn't escaping.
- Never use abrasive scouring pads on the stainless steel surfaces to avoid scratching.

Ever wondered why some ovens have 'hot spots' that burn one side of your food while leaving the other undercooked? Fan-assisted convection, or a fan oven, solves that problem. Inside this Buffalo's oven cavity, a powerful fan actively circulates the hot air, ensuring it reaches every single corner with the same, consistent temperature. Think of it like a convection heater warming a room evenly, but for your food. This means no more constantly turning trays around. You get faster cooking times, beautifully even browning, and reliable results whether you're baking delicate cakes, roasting vegetables, or finishing a lasagne.
