The Bertazzoni MAS95C2ENEC is a 90 cm freestanding cooker from the Master Series in Nero (black), with a five-burner gas hob and two electric ovens side by side. It gives you a multifunction oven for roasting and baking plus a smaller conventional oven for grilling or sides, all run by solid metal knobs.

Cooking

The dual wok burner has two rings of flame reaching 5 kW together, and turns down to 0.48 kW when only the inner ring is lit. There is also a rapid burner of 1.05–3 kW, two semi-rapid burners of 0.60–1.75 kW and an auxiliary of 0.48–1 kW. The aluminium burners sit under a continuous cast iron grate. In the main oven you can choose convection, convection bake, convection grill, grill, bake, upper and bottom bake, pizza, defrosting or fast preheat, with 4 shelf levels. The second oven has four settings: bake, upper bake, bottom bake and grill.

Controls and everyday use

Each burner lights from its knob with built-in ignition. Hold the knob in for 5-10 seconds so the flame failure device can engage; it then cuts the gas if the flame goes out, and the burners can be lit with a match in a power cut. A thermometer on the control panel shows the main oven temperature, and there is no timer listed. Both doors are triple glazed with removable inner glass. The cooker comes with three chromed wire shelves and two enamelled trays with a handle, and a flap storage compartment sits at the bottom. The energy label gives 0.86 kWh per cycle conventional and 0.74 kWh fan for the main oven, and 0.56 kWh for the second.

Size and installation

It is 895 mm wide and 600 mm deep and stands on stainless steel legs. The ovens are wired to a 220/240 V supply rated at 17.90 A, absorbing 4100 W, and a Gas Safe registered engineer must connect the hob. A 90 cm backsplash is available separately.
