Using the Oven
Shelf Positions
The oven has three shelf positions—top (for grilling), middle and lower.
Heat zones
When using the oven you will find that the top shelf of the oven cavity is hotter that the lower shelf. The oven temperature that you have
chosen will be on the middle shelf.
You may therefore have to adjust the temperature or cooking time depending on which shelf level you are using in the oven.
1. To remove the oven shelf pull it out
until it reaches the safety stop.
2. Slightly angle the shelf upwards and
pull out of the runners.
The oven is supplied with two removable oven shelf pan holder as standard.
Additional oven shelf pan holders are available as optional accessories.
Preheating
Important: when you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for at least 15 minutes (20 minutes when cooking large amounts of
food). Placing cold food in an oven that has not been pre-heated considerably reduces the cooking performance.
Oven thermostat
Immediately initiate repair or replacement of the thermostat if an abnormal drift of oven temperature occurs during cooking.

A ventilation gap of at least 30mm must be provided at the back edge of the oven.
A minimum gap of 3mm on either side of the unit is required and the material in the cavity should be a non-
combustible such as sheet metal.
The adjacent materials must be non combustible and able to resist temperatures of at least 100 Celsius
The appliance is designed to be mounted and held safely in place by means of a set of runners on the base of the
oven which are specifically designed to slide onto a matching set of runners fixed to the base of the furniture cavity.
Once slid in position the oven is secured by means of two screws at the front of the sliders.
The unit is not designed to have a cover placed over it, and will cause a hazard if the unit is covered.
The diagram above shows the drill locations for the runners (shown right) on the cabinet base which is common
to the Levante, OceanChef and OceanChef XL models.
Remote location of the 1.5V ignition battery holder
For models intended for build-in installation, the battery holder and battery are supplied as loose component
when the cooker is delivered.
Position the battery holder in an accessible location within reach of the cable. This may require feeding the cable
through a drilled hole into the adjacent cupboard.
Ensure that the cable is protected from chaffing. Use screws to fix the battery holder firmly in place.
Connect the cable to the battery holder using the push connections. The battery holder is connected to the appli-
ance using the supplied electrical cable.
The battery (1.5V AA size) is located in the housing. When you need to replace the battery unscrew the battery
cover by hand, change the battery and replace the lid. Make sure that the –ve end of the battery is held in the
spring.

GN Espace cookers are fitted as original equipment by leading yacht builders including:
Yacht Galley Systems
GN Espace is a UK-based specialist galley company, whose innovative designs and integrated systems are now
seen as the benchmark for the galleys of modern cruising yachts.
Increasing numbers of the world’s leading yacht builders now specify GN Espace equipment for their galleys.
The superior build quality and high performance of the GN Espace marine cookers are at the core of these
galleys. The Waterstation sinks, our cookers and our other innovative galley storage equipment all come with
built-in fiddles, ensuring that everything stays exactly where you need it to. These systems have been designed
around the Gastronorm catering container, which forms the building block of our integrated systems.
These systems have been designed to transform the galley space into an ergonomically more functional and
significantly safer place to prepare and cook food whilst at sea.
Based around the Gastronorm container, a fundamental piece of equipment in professional catering
environments, we have designed a fully integrated cooking, food preparation and storage concept which provides
increased working space in confined quarters as well as greater flexibility, safety and convenience
