Product Description
The Buffalo six-burner gas oven range is a freestanding cooking suite built for continuous, high-volume service in professional kitchens. It runs on natural gas as standard and can be converted to propane by a qualified engineer using the included conversion kit. The hob carries six independent burners set across a cast iron support structure, while the oven beneath accepts gastronorm cookware across multiple 2/1 GN positions — practical for batch cooking, braising, and oven work running simultaneously during a full service.
In a busy kitchen, consistent heat output across the hob matters as much as the oven performance. The cast iron pan supports handle the weight of full commercial stockpots without flexing, and the oven delivers consistent temperatures across the cavity rather than the uneven heat that forces chefs to rotate trays mid-service. Recovery after loading is reasonably prompt, which is important during extended services where the oven door is opened repeatedly. The lockable castors allow the unit to be repositioned for deep cleaning or minor layout adjustments without a full installation intervention, though any move involving the gas connection must involve a competent person.
From a practical standpoint, the range offers several operational advantages:
- Push-button piezo ignition — no separate igniter or taper required during service
- Removable pan supports simplify cleaning and reduce grease build-up at the burner heads
- Stainless steel construction throughout withstands daily cleaning and kitchen humidity
- GN-compatible oven cavity works with gastronorm trays already in circulation
- Lockable castors allow controlled repositioning without disconnecting gas or electrical services
Installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer — this is a legal requirement. The unit is designed for permanent installation in a fixed kitchen structure with an appropriate gas supply and ventilation provision; it is not suitable for mobile catering vehicles or temporary structures. At 107kg, two people and suitable handling equipment are needed for positioning. Adequate clearance to the rear and sides should be maintained in line with manufacturer guidance and applicable building regulations.
This range sits in a practical middle ground for mid-sized operations: pub kitchens, independent restaurants, hotel food and beverage, and contract catering sites running consistent demand across a full service. It offers meaningfully more capacity than a light-duty four-burner unit, but it is not a direct replacement for a heavy-duty French top or a range specified for the highest-throughput brigade kitchens. Sites running continuous double services at very high covers may find a heavier-duty alternative better suited to the demand.
If you want to talk through whether this range fits your kitchen layout, gas supply, and service volume before committing, the team is glad to work through it with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, this is a reasonable fit for that volume. The six-burner hob gives enough concurrent cooking positions to support a full à la carte or carvery service, and the GN-compatible oven handles batch work alongside hob cooking. If your operation regularly runs back-to-back double services at high pace, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty range would serve you better long term.
- The range must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer — this is a legal requirement in the UK, not a recommendation. You will need an adequate natural gas supply to the installation point, suitable ventilation in line with building regulations, and enough clearance to the rear and sides as specified in the manufacturer's installation guidance. At 107kg, appropriate handling equipment and at least two people are required to position the unit safely.
- Yes, a conversion kit is included in the box, but the conversion must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. It is not a field adjustment that operators should attempt themselves. If your site runs on LPG, factor the conversion work into your installation planning and budget from the outset.
