The humble six burner oven range is still one of the most popular pieces of catering equipment that we supply. Lincat who are one of the leading UK  catering equipment manufacturers have re-designed their Opus six burner oven range. This new unit now offers more powerful hob burners, stronger construction and a stainless steel radius ed hob front. The biggest news however has to be its new lower price. We here at CS Catering Equipment are able to offer the Lincat Opus OG7002 at a fantastic £1199.00 + vat which for a heavy duty unit is a cracking deal. These units are available for quick delivery today and the price should be available right up until the end of the year (subject to stock availability and price updates)

The main changes to the previous design are:-



• Cast iron front replaced with stainless steel fabrication.  This is welded for strength.
• Hob burners are of a different design  and give a higher power rating of 6.1 kW (20,800 Btu/hr) for natural gas and 5.7 kW (19,400 Btu/hr) for propane.  This is an increase on the current ratings of 5.5 kW (natural) and 5.1 kW (propane).  The hob burners are more powerful than the Falcon Dominator (5.7kW) and match the new Burco model.
• Redesigned pan supports maintain the strength and functionality of the old design but are significantly lighter – so easier to handle.
• Weight reduction (unpacked) OG7002 was 158 kg; now 114 kg
• Pan supports are now twins rather than individuals and locate securely with pegs into holes in the hob top.
• Strengthened door hinges.
• Oven pilot light removed.  These are rarely included in gas ovens and are prone to blockage.  The oven still benefits from piezo ignition.
• Castors and legs both now have four-point fixings. 
• Burners sit on the pressed hob top. 




However its not all change on this unit, Lincat have kept all the great features from the previous version:-



• The oven is unchanged (apart from the removal of the pilot light).  It still offers:
  • The same usable dimensions
  • Power rating of:
    • OG7002 -  9 kW (30,700 Btu/hr)
  • Double insulated doors, side and back panels
  • Four shelf positions
  • Thermostatic control from 120 deg C to 280 deg C.
  • Vitreous enamelled oven liners; removable floor plate; removable shelf supports
  • Two chrome plated sturdy rod shelves with safety stops
• The hob still offers:
  • Full depth, dished hob top (making it easy to clean)
  • Unique pan support design to enhance heat transfer to pans
  • Low level flue for maximum use of hob capacity
• We still supply:
  • Piezo ignitor wand (free with each unit)
  • Optional accessories:
    • OA7903 Drop on aluminium griddle plate
    • OA7901 and OA7902 – Splashbacks/plate shelfs



As I am sure you will agree this model at the current price is a fantastic deal for a heavy duty oven range and compliments the entire Lincat Oven range and the overall Lincat range as a whole.
