Decoding La Cornue Model Names and US
Decoding La Cornue Model Names and US is a common question among La Cornue owners. This guide walks through it step by step with technician-grade detail.
La Cornue model names and US SKUs carry useful information about size, family, and configuration. Knowing how to read them helps you source the right parts and get accurate service. This guide decodes them.
The Château naming logic
Château models are named by their width in centimeters: Château 60, 75, 90, 120, 150, and 165 correspond to 60cm, 75cm, 90cm, and so on. Larger numbers mean a wider range with more oven and rangetop capacity. The Grand Palais 180 is the 180cm flagship. Each size offers configuration codes for its rangetop — for example C-series on the 90, E-series on the 120, K-series on the 150, L-series on the 165, and N-series on the 180.
Rangetop configuration codes
Within a size, letter-number codes describe the rangetop layout (which modules and where). Codes ending in “I” typically denote an induction configuration (e.g., CI, EI, KI). These codes matter when ordering parts specific to a module. See our rangetop configuration guide.
US SKU prefixes
- G45 — US prefix associated with the Château 150.
- G48 — Model code for the Grand Palais 180.
- C9 — CornuFé 90 “Albertine” SKUs (e.g., C9MF, C93, C9RF, C9AF) denote fuel/configuration variants.
- C1 — CornuFé 110 SKU prefix.
These prefixes help service centers identify the exact unit and its parts.
CornuFé naming
CornuFé models are also named by width — 90 (the Albertine) and 110 — with SKUs indicating dual-fuel vs. induction and other options. See our CornuFé 90 vs 110 guide.
Why it matters for parts and service
Because La Cornue ranges are hand-built and model-specific, the right part depends on the model, fuel, and configuration code. Providing your full model name and SKU to the National Service Center (1-877-522-6768) or your technician ensures correct genuine parts — see our parts sourcing guide.
Where to find your model and SKU
Look for the rating/data plate on the range (often inside a door or on the rear/side) for the model and serial number. Keep this with your purchase records for warranty claims — see our warranty guide.

A worked example
Putting the pieces together: a “Château 120 EI” tells you a 120cm dual-fuel range (two vaulted ovens, gas plus electric) with an E-series rangetop in an induction configuration — the “I” suffix signaling induction. A “CornuFé 90 C9MF” identifies the 90cm Albertine in a specific fuel/finish variant under the C9 prefix. Reading the name and code this way lets you communicate exactly what you own, which is the difference between the right genuine part arriving and a wrong one being ordered.
Why precision pays off in service
Because La Cornue ranges are hand-built and model-specific, parts depend on the model, fuel, and configuration code together. A gasket, orifice, or induction coil for one size or layout will not necessarily fit another. Providing your full model name, SKU, and serial number to the National Service Center at 1-877-522-6768 or your technician ensures correct components the first time — see our parts sourcing guide.
Frequently asked
- Where is the model and serial? On the rating/data plate, often inside a door or on the rear or side; keep it with your purchase records.
- What does the “I” suffix mean? An induction rangetop configuration (e.g., CI, EI, KI).
The naming logic at a glance
Château models are named by width in centimeters — 60, 75, 90, 120, 150, 165 — with the 180cm Grand Palais 180 (model G48) at the top, and each size carries its own rangetop configuration codes: C-series on the 90, E-series on the 120, K-series on the 150, L-series on the 165, N-series on the 180, with an “I” suffix denoting induction. US SKU prefixes add detail: G45 for the 150, G48 for the 180, C9 for the CornuFé 90 “Albertine,” and C1 for the CornuFé 110. Reading these together lets you state exactly what you own when ordering parts or service.
