Convection oven FM industrial RX 604 PLUS HG

A convection oven circulates hot air around the food with a fan, eliminating cold spots and cutting baking time. The fan pushes air across heating elements, distributing heat evenly across every tray. This method browns pastry, roasts joints and proofs dough without rotating the trays, giving consistent results across the full load.

The RX 604 PLUS HG is built for bakery use, holding four GN1/1 trays at once. Each tray slides into runners spaced 80 mm apart, allowing air to flow above and below every item. The operator loads the trays, sets the temperature up to 250 °C, and chooses either continuous mode or a timer up to 60 minutes. A humidifier adds moisture to the chamber, keeping crusts soft and preventing drying, while the grill element browns the top of bread and pastries. The reverse function alternates the fan direction, ensuring even heat distribution without manual tray rotation.

Operation starts by switching on the oven and selecting the desired temperature. The interior lamp illuminates the chamber, letting the operator check progress without opening the door. The timer is set if a fixed cycle is needed; otherwise, continuous mode keeps the oven running until switched off. The door microphone silences the alarm when the door is opened, preventing noise during unloading. At the end of the cycle, an alert sounds, and the safety thermostat cuts power if the temperature exceeds the set limit.

The oven is constructed from stainless steel, with a single glass door for visibility. Four wire trays are included, each sized to fit GN1/1 gastronorm pans. The exterior measures 820 mm wide, 800 mm deep and 560 mm high, fitting under a standard worktop or on a mobile stand. The unit weighs 61 kg, allowing two people to move it without a trolley.

Controls include a temperature dial, timer knob, mode selector for continuous or timed operation, and separate switches for the humidifier, grill and reverse function. The 6.3 kW power rating requires a 400 V three-phase supply, typical for professional bakery equipment. The 250 °C maximum temperature covers baking, roasting and proofing, while the 80 mm tray spacing accommodates taller items like loaves and sheet cakes.

Cleaning involves removing the trays and wiping the interior with a damp cloth. The wire trays are dishwasher-safe, and the runners can be brushed to remove crumbs. The humidifier reservoir should be emptied and dried after each use to prevent scale build-up.

The RX 604 PLUS HG is categorised under bakery ovens in the FM Industrial range, designed for even heat distribution and consistent results in professional kitchens.
