It pairs robust electro-mechanical controls with a heavy-duty 14kW direct steam injection system to deliver maximum cooking versatility. Engineered specifically for high-volume commercial kitchens, bustling school canteens, and busy function venues, this versatile combination oven allows chefs to switch between convection, steam, and combi modes effortlessly. Whether your venue needs to slow-roast massive batches of meat or steam bulk quantities of vegetables, the Turbofan EC40M10 provides the rapid heat recovery and precise climate control necessary to optimize your daily kitchen production.

Why the Turbofan EC40M10 Combi Oven is Essential for Commercial Kitchens

Modern commercial foodservice operations require equipment that maximizes high-volume throughput without expanding the kitchen’s physical footprint. The Turbofan EC40M10 addresses this need directly with a compact 777mm width profile, delivering a massive 10-tier tray capacity in a remarkably slim footprint.

Its integrated dual auto-reverse fan system prevents uneven cooking by constantly inverting the direction of the internal airflow. This continuous, bidirectional air distribution eliminates hot spots throughout the cavity. As a result, operators achieve uniform browning and consistent textures across all ten levels simultaneously, dramatically increasing food yield while cutting down on expensive product waste.

Hospitality & Foodservice Use Cases

• Large-Scale Function & Event Catering: Prepare bulk components for banquet menus by roasting or steaming dozens of portions at once using the generous 10-tier rack layout.
• Busy Club & Bistro Kitchens: Use Combi mode to slow-roast premium meats, retaining high natural moisture while achieving a perfectly crisped exterior finish.
• Institutional & School Canteens: Streamline the production of large-batch healthy meals using pure Steam mode to cook vegetables and starches fast while preserving vital nutrients.
• High-Volume Commercial Bakeries: Produce large, consistent bakes of artisan breads, rolls, and pastries by utilising the integrated moisture injection system for glossy crusts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Does the Turbofan EC40M10 require a three-phase electrical connection?

A: Yes. The EC40M10 is a high-power commercial unit with a total rating of 14.5kW. It requires a dedicated 400-415V, 50Hz, three-phase electrical supply drawing 22A per phase. An electrician must wire it to a suitable multi-pole isolator switch near the appliance.

Q: What water quality requirements are needed to safely run this combi oven?

A: To prevent scale build-up and preserve your warranty, the water supply should have a total hardness between 60–90 ppm, a pH level above 7.5, and a chloride level below 30 ppm. Moffat includes a triple-action water filter cartridge and filter head with the oven to help you meet these criteria.

Q: Can I use standard 1/1 GN trays and 600mm x 400mm pastry trays at the same time?

A: The internal oven chamber runners are designed to hold either 1/1 Gastronome pans or full-size 600mm x 400mm baking trays. The included SK40-10A stand also features 6 built-in runners that support both tray types. This dual compatibility allows you to switch between different menu requirements easily.

Q: How does the dual auto-reverse fan system handle a larger 10-tray cavity?

A: Standard convection fans blow air in one direction, which can create hot and cool zones inside a large 10-tray cavity. The EC40M10 features two auto-reversing fans that automatically switch their rotation direction. This thoroughly mixes the heated air currents, ensuring your food bakes uniformly without manual tray rotation.

Q: Is a floor drain necessary for this oven installation?

A: Yes. Because this is a direct steam injection combination oven, a drain is necessary to handle condensation and rinse water. It requires a 40mm drain outlet directed into an open funnel waste trap or tundish, with the waste pipe set to a minimum downward slope of 4 degrees.
