A large white tile stove served several functions: it consists of a furnace with a large cooking panel, while on lateral parts there are two ovens with a hot air flow control system at one side, and a small copper tank for water heating with a tap at the other side. On the opposite side of the furnace there is a built-in shelf, enclosed by a metal door, which served to reheat meals.

Particularly interesting is the construction of the chimney, which is not located in the usual place. The smoke was channeled out beneath the kitchen floor, to the wall where the channel is connected to the existing chimney. The large diameter of the chimney allowed for under-pressure that drew the smoke out of the stove.
