Electric Cookers & Ovens
The GN Espace range of electric cooking appliances is designed specifically for use on yachts and motorboats, where limited installation space and electrical power supply remain key considerations. Full electric cooking onboard has long been the dream of the cruising sailor, and the latest hybrid systems, new battery technologies and onboard energy systems make that dream a reality.
Our OceanChef gimballed electric cooker, oven and hob combine the very latest induction technology with our tried and tested construction methods and innovative product features found on our gas cookers, to give you a marine cooking solution that is truly market leading.
Energy Efficient
Full insulation, correctly specified components and clever thinking has allowed us to create an energy efficient range of electric cooking appliances without any compromise on the cooking performance.
Our induction hobs heat the pot and not the Ceran glass. Serious cooks love induction hobs because they heat up incredibly quickly and are very responsive to control. To save energy, the Pot detection feature switches off the hob when the pot is removed.
An integral energy management system ensures that the hob never draws more than 3kW and the maximum load on the cooker is only 4.9kW.
Our multifunction ovens heat up quickly and the full insulation helps keep the heat in the oven where it belongs. Our unique ECO fan setting (fan cooking with the light off) and our decision not to have a wasteful and unnecessary electric timer help save valuable battery capacity.
Safety & Comfort
Your safety has been a key consideration in the design of our marine cookers. Induction hobs stay cool and add considerably to safety, as well as comfort, in the galley. Sturdy sea rails and pan clamps stop pans from sliding on the hob. A single-handed operation door lock keeps the oven door securely closed. To avoid the danger of hot food sliding out of the oven when you open the door, our oven shelves have safety stops.
The runners have a positive pull-out end stop, as well as having integrated fiddles, irrespective of whether you use the wire shelf or Gastronorm containers.
In addition, the cooker is secured by means of a solid harbour lock and inversion-proof gimbal mounts.
Performance
Our Induction hobs are packed with features that make cooking a real joy. Matching the speed and responsiveness of traditional gas burners, our induction hobs boast many other useful features, such as a 2.5kW Boost function, Auto-simmer, a Dual zone bridge function for large fish-kettle cooking, as well as Melt and Keep Warm settings.
The oven has a powerful heating element which surrounds the fan. This ensures even heat distribution throughout the cavity and allows you to cook on three levels at once. Our unique ECO Fan setting reaches the most widely used oven temperature (180°C) in less than half the time it takes for a traditional electric oven to reach its higher equivalent temperature. This saves you time and valuable electricity.
Easy to Clean
A quick wipe after cooking is all you need to keep the induction hob looking good. Unlike normal ceramic hobs, the induction hob heats the pots and not the Ceran induction surface itself. As a result, there is no danger of spillages burning on.
The oven cavity has been designed to avoid dirt traps and there is a removable oven roof, as well as a self-cleaning grill element, to help. All the hob and oven accessories are made from marine-grade stainless steel to ensure easy cleaning.

Due to the rather specialist nature of our products, we tend not to deal through distributors or retailers. We prefer to deal directly with our customers, as we feel we can offer a better service that way. That having been said, we do of course deliver not just throughout the UK but all over the World.
As we hand-build our cookers and ovens to order, please allow 5-6 weeks for production and delivery of your purchase. For accessories only, please allow 2 weeks. We'll endeavour to keep you informed about timeframes throughout the process.
The product is boxed and palletised. We use reputable and reliable delivery service in the UK to the address of your choice. Delivery costs are charged at an additional fee, you can collect from our premises by arrangement. We would be glad to welcome you and show you how we build our cookers.

The general process for delivery outside of the UK is as follows:
- Products are sold to you excluding UK VAT, so you will need to pay VAT at your local rate
- Upon arrival into your country, the Carriers will contact you to pay any VAT charges
- We will provide you with a waybill for your tracking purposes.
- We strongly suggest you track your consignment and once you see it arrive at the Customs border, promptly contact the Carriers yourself to make the necessary VAT payment. This will help ensure that there are no Customs hold ups and that your consignment is quickly cleared for onward delivery to its final destination.
Product Questions
If the LPG oven is not getting hot enough, but the hob is working correctly giving bad cooking performance on your LPG cooker, we suggest the following.
We factory test each oven and thermostat to make sure that they reach the correct working temperature. The ovens gas system is a basic and very reliable design and although there is a chance that the thermostat can fail our experience is that any drop in performance is due to a lack of gas feeding the system.
This may be caused by one of the following:
- an empty gas bottle
- a blockage or leak in the gas supply pipe
- a faulty gas regulator
Our experience has also taught us that quite often the issue is caused by a faulty gas regulator, which is partially blocked and goes not give the stove - and especially the Grill - enough gas to burn. Replacing the Gas Regulator solves the problem.
Make sure that it is the correct regulator for the gas type – and importantly also have the gas pressure at the cooker checked.
The correct LPG gas regulator pressures are:
CAT I3+ (28-30/37) CAT I3B/P(30)
Butane (G30) 28-30 mbar Butane (G30) 30mbar
Propane (G31) 37 mbar Propane G(31) 30 mbar
Try three quick fixes.
- Try cleaning the Brass thermocouple that protrudes into the flame. You can use a toothbrush or maybe some wool to do this.
- Hob – remove the burner cap and flame spreader to access the thermocouple.
- Oven- the thermocouple is horizontally mounted in the right side of the burner box which is at the back of the oven.
- Grill/Broiler – the thermocouple protrudes from the left hand side of the cavity.
- If 1 doesn't help then try pushing the Thermoprobe upwards so that it sits closer into the flame.

Maintaining your stainless steel cooker is essential to keeping it looking great and functioning properly.
Here are some tips to help you maintain your stainless steel products and keep them looking great for years to come:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the cooker regularly with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that could scratch the surface. If you do use any type of scourer, only use a light one and always go with and not against the grain of the stainless steel.
- Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning, make sure to dry the cooker thoroughly to prevent water spots and stains from forming, especially if salty water has touched it.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or ammonia-based cleaners on your stainless steel cooker as they can damage the surface.
- Remove Burnt-on Residue: If there is burnt-on residue or stubborn stains, you can use a mixture of baking soda and water to create a paste. Apply the paste to the affected area, let it sit for a few minutes, and then rub gently with a soft cloth or sponge and always go with and not against the grain of the stainless steel. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Follow Grain Direction: When cleaning or wiping down the cooker, always wipe in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel to avoid scratching the surfae
- Handle with Care: Be careful when using utensils or pots and pans on the cooker surface to avoid scratching or damaging the stainless steel.
- Polish Occasionally: For extra shine, you can polish your stainless steel cooker with a soft cloth and a small amount of baby oil. Simply apply a small amount to the cloth and buff the surface in circular motions.
- Use Stainless Steel Cleaner: Stainless-steel products can on occasion be subject to rust spotting without any intervention, especially when in a salty environment. If you do experience any rust spotting, we have found that the best product to use is Aalco’s Innosoft B570 deep cleaner, which can either be found in good chandlery stores or probably better ordered online. In the rare event that rust spots do appear, it will remove these and also leave a protective layer on the surface of your cooker to help prevent any rust spots from coming back. In such circumstances, we advise treating all external cooker panels with this product.
All of our induction/electric appliances work on a 230v system. However, as all our induction cookers and hobs are 50/60Hz compatible without modification, should you wish to run these 230v appliances on a 110/120v electrical system, all you will require in addition, is a step-up auto transformer, similar to the Victron unit we recommend.
We prioritise the best quality components and materials for our products, but over time, parts may break and need replacing.
If you would like to order any spare parts - please email customersupport@gn-espace.com and one of the team will get back to you to help and organise delivery.
All of our products have been designed with efficiency in mind.
- Our LPG cookers are extremely economical in their gas usage due to the high-quality components that we use and the excellent insulation properties of our ovens.
- Our Induction/Electric appliances have smart management systems built into them, to ensure energy usage is kept to a minimum – please see the ‘real world’ electrical consumption calculations for your chosen induction/electric product.
