Convection oven FM industrial RX 424 V26

A convection oven circulates hot air continuously around the food, eliminating cold spots and cutting cooking time while keeping moisture inside. A fan mounted at the back of the chamber draws air across a heating element, then pushes it evenly over every tray. This forced circulation transfers heat faster than still air, so dishes brown uniformly and meats reach temperature without drying out. The method is especially effective for baked goods, where even colour and rise depend on steady, dry heat at every level.

To start a cycle, the operator loads up to four GN 2/3 trays or 480 × 340 mm trays onto the dual-position racks. The door's double glazing keeps heat inside, while the ergonomic handle allows a firm grip even with oven gloves. The interior light lets the chef check progress without opening the door. Temperature is set manually up to 250 °C, and the timer can be adjusted from one minute to sixty minutes or left in continuous mode. Indicator lights show when the heating element is active and when the timer is counting down. An end-of-cycle alarm sounds once the set time elapses, and a safety thermostat cuts power if the temperature exceeds the limit.

The cooking chamber is made of AISI 430 stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning. Racks are spaced 80 mm apart, allowing enough room for large items without crowding. The 3.1 kW power rating means the oven draws a steady load on a standard 230 V circuit, suitable for most professional kitchens. At 41 kg, the unit is light enough to move with a trolley but stable on a worktop. Its footprint of 640 × 665 mm fits under most worktops, leaving space for other equipment.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel interior after each use to prevent baked-on residue. The double glass door can be removed for deeper cleaning, and the racks lift out for washing. The humidifier option, available on the RX 424 V26 H model, introduces steam during baking, which improves crust formation on bread and pastries.

The oven is supplied with four trays and is categorised under bakery ovens in the FM Industrial range.
