Convection oven FAGOR 19079328

A combi oven merges steam, convection and combination cooking in one chamber. Steam is generated by a boiler and injected to raise humidity, while a fan circulates hot air for even heat distribution. The two methods can run separately or together, giving precise control over moisture and temperature. This versatility allows the same oven to roast, bake, poach, steam, dehydrate and regenerate without transferring food between appliances.

The APW-201-E loads up to twenty GN1/1 gastronorm trays. The operator selects a cooking mode—low-temperature steam, full steam, intensive steam, convection or combination—and sets the target temperature and humidity level. Optional probes monitor core food temperatures, and the oven adjusts steam and air flow automatically to maintain the chosen climate. Once cooking finishes, the oven can hold food at serving temperature, repeat the cycle or cool the chamber rapidly.

Operation is controlled through a 10.1-inch glass touchscreen. The interface includes iCooking for automatic parameter adjustment, iFunctions for preset programmes such as fermentation, smoking and dehydration, and iClima for humidity management in 1% increments. A built-in library holds 200 factory recipes and allows unlimited custom recipes across nine levels. Remote monitoring and control are available via FagorKonnect, which also provides diagnostics and maintenance alerts.

The cooking chamber is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel with a mirror-polished interior. A triple-glazed, ventilated door has three fixed positions for safe loading and unloading. The steam generator is a PureSteam model with automatic water refill, descaling sensor and semi-automatic decalcification. An internal four-point temperature probe and EZ-sensor placement guide ensure accurate readings.

Controls include six programmable fan speeds, adjustable steam injection, automatic drying, and a choice of half or full power. The oven adapts to installation altitude and local water boiling point, and displays real-time energy consumption. Settings can be password-protected, and the interface supports 36 languages.

The unit measures 930 mm wide, 964 mm deep and 1841 mm high, and weighs 306 kg. Adjustable legs allow levelling on uneven floors. The electrical supply requires 380-415 V three-phase with neutral at 50/60 Hz. IPX5 protection guards against water jets, making the oven suitable for high-pressure cleaning.

Cleaning is managed by the iWashing system, which offers one manual and three automatic programmes, plus rinsing and polishing cycles. The process can be activated remotely via FagorKonnect, and includes options for degreasing and drying. A removable fan cover simplifies maintenance.

The APW-201-E is positioned in the FAGOR professional combi oven range for medium to large commercial kitchens.
