Lincat Opus 800 OE8008 Six-Plate Electric Range Cooker

The Lincat Opus 800 OE8008 is a six-plate electric range cooker combining a full six-zone hob with a fan-assisted double-door oven in a single 800mm-deep unit. It is designed to handle hob and oven demand running concurrently through a busy service, which makes it a practical choice for kitchens that need a reliable all-electric cooking platform without separating hob and oven capacity across different pieces of equipment.

Each of the six hob plates offers thermostatic control across a broad temperature range, giving chefs consistent, repeatable output whether holding at low heat or pushing through peak covers. The fan-assisted oven circulates heat evenly across all shelf positions, which is particularly useful when the oven is fully loaded with GN trays during batch cooking, finishing, or reheating alongside active hob use — a common scenario in busy service environments where uneven oven results cause real operational problems.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the OE8008 offers several practical advantages:

• Fan-assisted oven delivers consistent heat distribution under full load
• Vitreous enamelled oven liners and removable panels reduce cleaning time between services
• Dished hob surface contains spills and simplifies daily cleaning routines
• Side-opening oven doors allow safer access in tighter kitchen configurations
• Heavy-duty castors permit repositioning and improve access for cleaning behind the unit

As an electric range, the OE8008 requires a three-phase electrical supply and installation by a qualified electrician experienced in commercial kitchen fit-outs — a standard single-phase connection is not suitable. The 800mm depth integrates well into a planned cooking suite, but it is worth confirming clearances to adjacent equipment and walls before ordering, particularly in refits where the existing line was built around shallower 700mm-depth equipment. Adequate extraction above the unit is essential and should be sized to handle the combined output of the hob and oven running simultaneously under full load.

The OE8008 is well suited to independent restaurants, gastro pubs, and catering operations running moderate to high covers where an all-electric cooking suite is preferred or required. It sits within a broader range of configurations — if your service volume is particularly demanding or your menu places heavy continuous load on both hob and oven, a higher-output model may be worth considering. Equally, if your kitchen operates at lower volumes, a smaller-footprint unit may offer better value in day-to-day running costs.
