La Cornue stoves,
specifically.

La Cornue has built stoves by hand in France since 1908, and in the US it sells two families: the made-to-order Château with its vaulted ovens, and the CornuFé, a 36- or 43-inch stove with gas burners or induction over electric convection ovens. Owners know their stove by sight; the serial number is what tells us which guide and parts fit.

The La Cornue lineup

What is particular
to La Cornue.

The CornuFé 90 has one large electric convection oven and the CornuFé 110 has two, each under five gas burners or five induction zones. The Château runs from the induction Château 60 up to the Grand Palais 180 in thousands of configurations, so two Château stoves rarely share every part.

Recalled CornuFé dual-fuel models

CornuFé 90 and 110 dual-fuel stoves made from March 19, 2025 through July 24, 2026 are recalled because a test port cap may be missing from the manifold that feeds the burners. La Cornue's recall page checks your serial number, and the electric ovens stay usable while the gas is shut off.

Two ovens, sometimes two fuels

Bigger Château stoves pair one gas vaulted oven with one electric one, while the smaller models carry a single oven in either fuel. When one oven stays cold, its fuel decides whether we start at an igniter or at an element.

An oven that creeps hotter with age

La Cornue's CornuFé guide describes an oven that gets hotter as the stove gets older. When turning the knob down stops helping, the guide says a new thermostat may be needed, fitted by a service person.

What the Château plate letters say

The induction plates on an all-electric Château use four letters: U when the pan is missing or will not work, H while a zone is still hot, L when locked and E for an electronic failure. Three of them describe what the plate is doing; E alone calls for a repair.

Parts

A Château is configured to order, so parts are matched to its serial number and layout rather than to a catalog model. La Cornue does not publish lead times, so availability is confirmed when the part is ordered.

Repair or replace

A handmade stove is almost never replaced over a thermostat, an igniter or an induction board; each of those is changed on its own. Replacement only comes up when the body or enamel is damaged beyond what refinishing can restore.

Questions about
La Cornue stoves.

How do I check whether my CornuFé is part of La Cornue's recall?
La Cornue's recall covers CornuFé 90 and 110 dual-fuel stoves built from March 19, 2025 through July 24, 2026, and its recall page lets you enter your serial number. Should you notice a gas smell, get out of the house first and phone the gas utility once you are outside.
Can I still bake in my CornuFé while its gas is shut off?
Yes. La Cornue says turning off the gas supply does not affect the electric oven sections, which can keep being used safely. Its induction-top models and their ovens are not part of the recall at all.
My La Cornue oven cooks hotter now than when it was new. What does La Cornue suggest?
La Cornue's CornuFé guide describes exactly this: an oven that heats more as the cooker ages. If turning the knob lower stops making a difference, or helps only for a while, the guide says a new thermostat may be needed and that a service person should fit it.
My CornuFé shows U400 the moment it is switched on. What does that mean?
La Cornue's guide ties U400 to a wrong connection to the supply: about a second after power-up the control cuts out and leaves the code showing. Turn the breaker off and have the hookup looked at on a visit.
