The Bertazzoni HER96L1EXT2 is a 90 cm freestanding dual fuel cooker from the Heritage Series in stainless steel. It puts six brass gas burners over a single electric multifunction oven, so you get flame control on the hob and even fan cooking below, with the Heritage look of metal knobs and a classic handle.

Cooking

Burner outputs run from 1 kW on the auxiliary through 1.75 kW on the semi-rapids and 3 kW on the rapid, up to 5 kW on the dual wok. The wok burner's two rings can run together for a fierce heat or you can light the inner ring alone, down to 0.48 kW. Cast iron grates run unbroken across the top. In the oven you can choose bake, upper bake, bottom bake, grill, convection, convection bake, convection grill, pizza, defrosting or fast preheat, across 4 shelf levels and a range of 50 to 250 °C. Air frying uses the fan grill at 180–250 °C with the supplied tray on level 3.

Controls and everyday use

Every burner has ignition in its knob, and a thermocouple that shuts off the gas if the flame goes out.

• Burners can still be lit with a match in a power cut
• Triple-glazed oven door with removable inner glass and anti-slam closing
• A cooling fan to keep the control panel from overheating
• A sliding shelf, two chromed wire shelves, an enamelled tray, an air fry tray and a grill trivet
• Two oven lights and a storage drawer below

The oven is energy class A, using 1.10 kWh per cycle in conventional mode and 0.87 kWh with the fan.

Size and installation

The cooker is 895 mm wide and 600 mm deep, and its legs adjust the hob height from 893 to 915 mm. The oven is wired to a 220/240 V supply rated at 16 A and absorbs 3500 W. The hob must be connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer through its 1/2" gas inlet, and can be converted to LPG with different nozzles. Wall units over the hob must be at least 700 mm above it. A 90 cm backsplash and Collezione Metalli décor sets are available separately.
