Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Mill Tea Room, a popular spot in the heart of the Cotswolds, needed to expand their hot food offering beyond soup and sandwiches but had a very cramped kitchen. They swapped an old storage unit for the Buffalo CU470.
"It slotted in perfectly. We went from just serving cakes to offering a full lunch menu of pies, baked potatoes, and hot pastries. The consistency is fantastic, and it’s so simple to use our weekend staff picked it up instantly."
Robert Davies – Owner
The change allowed them to introduce a 'Pie of the Day', increasing their average lunch spend by 35% within two months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- This unit is hardwired. Installation must be completed by a qualified commercial electrician.
- Ensure the oven is placed on a stable, level surface that can support its weight (44.9kg).
- Leave adequate clearance around the sides and back for proper air circulation and ventilation.
- Before first use, run the oven empty at 200°C for 30 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the interior daily with a damp cloth and mild detergent once the oven has cooled.
- Remove and clean the shelves and wire rack regularly to prevent food build-up.
- Check the door seal weekly for any signs of wear or damage to ensure heat isn't escaping.
- Schedule an annual service with a qualified engineer to keep it running in peak condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'hardwired' mean?
A: It means the oven needs to be permanently connected to the mains electricity supply by a qualified electrician, rather than just plugging into a standard socket.
Q: Can I bake delicate items like cakes and meringues in this oven?
A: Yes, the fan-assisted system provides the even, consistent heat needed for delicate baking. We'd recommend testing with a small batch to find the perfect temperature and time for your recipes.
Q: What size are the gastronorm pans it takes?
A: This oven is designed to hold up to three 1/1 GN (Gastronorm) pans.
Q: How do I clean the inside of the oven?
A: Once cool, use a damp cloth and a food-safe, non-abrasive cleaner. The stainless steel interior is designed for easy cleaning, and the shelves are removable.
Q: Can I stack another appliance on top of this Buffalo 600 Series under counter convection oven?
A: Yes, it is part of the Buffalo 600 Series, designed so you can safely place another compatible 600mm-wide appliance from the range on top.
Q: How quickly does it heat up?
A: Thanks to its 3kW element and compact size, it has a fast pre-heat time, getting up to cooking temperature much quicker than a larger domestic oven.
Q: Is it noisy when the fan is running?
A: It produces a low hum, typical of a commercial convection oven fan, which is generally unnoticeable in a busy kitchen environment.
Q: Does it come with the shelves included?
A: Yes, it comes supplied with three compatible 1/1GN capacity shelves and one wire rack to get you started.

Ever baked a tray of pastries and found the ones at the back are burnt while the ones at the front are pale? That's the problem with static ovens. This Buffalo oven uses fan-assisted convection, which completely solves that problem. Think of it like this: a normal oven is like trying to get a tan by just sitting in the sun – some parts get more heat than others. Fan-assisted cooking is like being in a warm, gentle whirlwind; the hot air is constantly moving around, caressing every side of the food. This means faster cooking times, beautifully even browning, and consistently perfect results, whether you're baking delicate cakes or roasting a joint of meat.
Who Should Buy This?
- Independent Cafés: Perfect for baking fresh croissants, scones, and sausage rolls without needing a full-size baker's oven.
- Small Restaurants & Bistros: An excellent second oven for handling starters, desserts, or specific menu items during a busy service.
- Pubs & Bars: Ideal for heating pies, finishing lasagnes, and grilling toppings for loaded fries and nachos.
- Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: Its compact, robust design provides serious cooking power for event catering where space is a premium.
