Bavaria replacement cooker

[asteven221]

I just replaced the very worn out Techinpex hob/oven in my 2002 Bavaria 44 with an ENO ONE Galley Range - 2 Burner and Oven.

Hopefully this will help any others thinking of doing the same. When researching a replacement I found it very confusing on what cookers will fit the space ideally without modification. To put it bluntly I couldn't find a post that says this model fits perfectly and there was always some doubt. Anyway i took the plunge and bought the Eno One and I can confirm that it fits ok. Gimbals ok and sits under the worktop cover perfectly.

I removed the old cooker and gimbal brackets. 2 of the three holes matched the new brackets, so I used them and screwed the brackets on each side. Then I simply drilled two additional holes per side with the brackets on. I then removed the brackets and added a couple of washers to pad the bracket out as it needed about 3mm of padding to narrow the width slightly. Screwed the brackets on and "dropped" the cooker straight on the the brackets. Connected the gas hose and did all the gas checks required. Drilled a hole on the side for the gimbal lock rod. Job done.

The old Plastimo 2 burner without the grill also fits perfectly but not sure it is still available. That is what I fitted to my old 37. The model with the oven will also fit, but is too tall to use the folding cover if you have one. Some owners do fit this model and accept it is higher than the worktop.
