La Cornue enamel panel and trim service
Vitreous enamel is glass fused to steel and about fifty colors of it were available at order time. A chip is not cosmetic in this climate — the steel under it rusts outwards — and a tarnished brass handrail attacked with the wrong product loses its lacquer along with the tarnish.

On the visit
How this visit actually goes
The same order every time, so nothing is opened and nothing is charged before you have seen the figure and said yes.
-
01
Find the finish reference
A color match on this make is a catalog reference from the original order, never a judgement by eye.
-
02
Identify the finish and the trim metal
Polished or brushed brass, copper, nickel, chrome, matte black or bronze — and whether it is clear-coated, because that decides what may touch it.
-
03
Assess the chip honestly
Low-heat area, stabilisable. On a drip tray or under a burner, it is a part in the original color.
-
04
Deal with what is under it
Exposed steel in a coastal kitchen rusts outwards from the chip. Stopping that is the point of the visit.
-
05
Restore the trim, not strip it
Tarnish comes off; lacquer does not go back on. Knowing which is which is the whole skill.

Dual fuel · gas · all-induction — Château, Châtelet, Castel, Grand Palais, CornuFé La Cornue range repair in Miami
The range is what La Cornue makes, and everything else in the line exists around it. A Château is built to order in France, arrives in a crate weighing over half a ton, and is assembled from parts a customer chose one at a time: which oven is gas and which is electric, whether the top carries a French top, a lava-rock grill, induction or a teppanyaki plate, which of about fifty enamels, which trim metal. Two of them are almost never identical. That is the first thing a repair on one has to take seriously — the model number tells you the size, and the configuration code tells you what is actually under the lids.
- Dual fuel, all gas or all induction — three different ranges, three parts lists
- The configuration code, not just the model, decides what is on the top
- Made-to-order enamel and trim are part of the job, not an extra

Vaulted ovens and convection ovens — gas, electric, and the Tourelle wall oven La Cornue oven repair in Miami
There are three different ovens on this make and they fail in three different ways. The vaulted gas oven cooks by radiant heat inside a sealed dome and has an electric broiler over it. The vaulted electric oven sits on the other side of the same range. And since 2025 there is a standalone one: the Château Tourelle, a fully electric multifunction wall oven in 60 and 75 centimeter widths, built to sit in a cabinet run next to a Château cooktop. Which of the three you have decides everything about the repair.
- Vaulted gas, vaulted electric and the electric Tourelle wall oven
- Gas ovens carry an electric broiler — browning and baking can fail separately
- Thermostat drift is measured against a probe, never adjusted by feel

Brass gas burners · plaque coup de feu · lava-rock grill · induction · teppanyaki La Cornue cooktop repair in Miami
A La Cornue cooktop is a set of modules chosen at order time and dropped into a stainless frame: brass gas burners at 17,000 and 7,500 BTU, a 22,000 BTU power burner, the cast-iron plaque coup de feu heated by a single burner underneath, a lava-rock grill, ceramic-glass induction zones, an electric teppanyaki plate. This is the top of a range, and each module is a different repair. Sold on its own without ovens beneath it, the same top is a rangetop, and it has its own page.
- Gas, induction, French top, grill and teppanyaki modules on one frame
- Induction is the only half of this line that shows a code — E2, U400, Er
- A cracked glass hob is disconnected first and diagnosed second

T40 to T48 · 200 mm into the counter · the same modules, no ovens beneath La Cornue rangetop repair in Miami
A rangetop is the top half of a La Cornue sold in its own right: the same brass burners, the same plaque coup de feu, the same grill, induction and teppanyaki modules, in a stainless frame 200 mm deep that drops into a counter with nothing underneath it. T40 through T48, from 600 to 1800 mm wide. Every cooktop repair applies to it and no oven repair does — which makes it the simplest appliance in the line and the one most often confused with the range on a booking.
- T40 to T48 — the same configuration codes as the range
- No ovens, no oven thermostats, no door seals
- Much lighter than a range, so the one job that prices weight rarely applies

Château motorized hoods H11–H20 · island hoods · inserts · CornuFé Cascade, Euclid, Loge, Marquee La Cornue range hood repair in Miami
The hood over a La Cornue is not an accessory bought to match. A motorized Château hood starts at $17,400 for the 90 and runs past $25,000 for the Grand Palais 180, it is made in the same enamels and trims as the range, and it does real work: a 600 CFM blower on a four-speed variable motor, baffle filters with a grease capture system, three 20-watt lights and a remote. When one stops, the kitchen it was built for stops working properly.
- Motorized Château hoods, island hoods and inserts, plus the CornuFé collection
- 600 CFM blower, four-speed variable motor, baffle filters, remote control
- A hood is finished to match the range — the enamel is part of the repair

About La Cornue enamel panel and trim service
About enamel and trim on a made-to-order finish
About fifty enamel colors were available at order time, plus one-of-a-kind, and the trims run polished and brushed brass, brushed stainless, brushed nickel, polished chrome, polished and brushed copper, matte black and matte bronze — some of them clear-coated. That matters before anybody polishes anything. A chip is not cosmetic in this climate: enamel is glass fused to steel, and exposed steel a few miles from salt water rusts outwards from the day it happens. So the visit identifies the finish against the original order, stabilises what can be stabilized and quotes a catalog-color part where it cannot.

Questions about La Cornue enamel panel and trim service
Can a chip be made invisible?
Stabilized, yes; invisible, rarely, and we will say so. What matters is stopping the rust. In a low-heat area away from eye level a stabilized chip disappears into the range; on a visible face next to a burner the honest answer is a replacement part in the original color.
My brass has gone dull.
That is often not damage. Polished brass on these ranges is frequently natural, non-coated metal that is meant to patina — La Cornue says so in its own literature — and a coastal kitchen speeds it up. The thing to establish before you take anything abrasive to it is whether yours is clear-coated, because removing lacquer is the mistake that cannot be undone.
