Built-In Combi Oven VA05

Dimensions and installation

The figures off the VA05 drawing, in full. Whether it fits is the question that ends a shortlist, so it is answered here rather than four megabytes into a PDF.

Detail

Steam and bake, in one cavity

Seventy litres with twelve functions: professional steaming and full baking in the same box, which is the point of a combi oven rather than a steamer sitting beside an oven.

Double steam, 360 degrees

Two steam outlets rather than one, so the surrounding steam fills the cavity quickly and reaches the food from every direction. Ingredients keep their water, and their nutrition with it.

Heat from every side

Two top elements, a back element and a bottom one, with a 4D fan balancing them. That is what makes a tray of biscuits at the back of the oven match the ones at the front.

Top and bottom, controlled apart

Set the upper and lower elements to different temperatures: crisp on the top and tender underneath, or the other way round for a pizza base. The difference can run to 30°C.

A probe, for doneness

The food probe reads the internal temperature of the meat and stops the oven when it is reached, which is the difference between a medium-rare steak and a guess.

An enamel cavity

Anti-corrosion and wear-resistant, and smooth enough that what splashes onto it comes off with a cloth rather than a scraper.

It descales and dries itself

Two maintenance modes, both one key: intelligent descaling runs steam through the system to clear the scale a steam oven accumulates, and intelligent drying takes the water out afterwards so nothing is left standing inside.

Questions about the VA05

What size cabinet does the VA05 need?

The oven is 595 x 595 x 563 mm, which is the standard 60cm built-in column. The cut-out is 570 to 600 mm wide, 595 to 600 mm high and at least 563 mm deep, the same opening as the VA06.

What does the food probe do?

It reads the temperature inside the meat rather than the air around it, and stops the oven when the number you set is reached. It is the single feature that makes roasting repeatable.

What is independent top and bottom control for?

Setting the upper and lower elements to different temperatures. A pizza wants heat from below and a gratin from above; a roast chicken wants both, but not equally. The oven will hold a difference of up to about 30°C between them.

Does a steam oven need descaling?

Any steam oven does, and this one does it itself: one key runs steam through the system to clear the scale, and a second mode dries the water out afterwards so nothing sits inside between uses.

How does the VA05 compare with the VA06?

Both are 70 litres in the same 595mm body. The VA05 carries twelve functions, independent top and bottom control and a food probe; the VA06 trades the probe for the five-mode idea, a colour touch screen and 68 built-in recipes. The VA05 is the cook's oven, the VA06 the one that decides for you.

What warranty does the VA05 carry?

Two years, as a combi oven under the VATTI agreement, for the original buyer from an authorised dealer. Register it at VATTI eWarranty at the time of purchase.
