Convection oven FM industrial RXL 424 PLUS V26

A convection oven circulates hot air continuously around the cooking chamber, eliminating cold spots and speeding up heat transfer to the food. The built-in fan draws air across the heating element, then forces it evenly over every tray, so dishes cook faster and more uniformly than in a static oven. This method reduces cooking times and energy use while maintaining consistent results across large batches, making it essential for professional kitchens where timing and quality are critical.

The RXL 424 PLUS V26 is loaded by sliding up to four GN2/3 trays onto the dual-position racks, which are spaced 80 mm apart to allow airflow between each tray. The operator sets the desired temperature up to 250 °C using the manual dial, then selects a cooking duration with the timer—up to 60 minutes—or switches to continuous mode for longer programmes. Indicator lights show when the oven is heating and when the timer is running. Once the cycle completes, an audible alarm sounds, and the interior light remains on for safe unloading.

The cooking chamber is constructed from AISI 430 stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning in high-volume environments. Four standard GN2/3 trays are supplied, and the racks adjust to accommodate different tray heights if needed.

A 3.8 kW power rating reflects the load the oven places on the electrical supply, requiring a dedicated 230 V circuit capable of handling the demand without tripping. The 45 kg weight indicates the oven is designed to be moved with a trolley or by two people, while the 700 × 670 × 535 mm footprint shows the space it occupies on a worktop or counter. The 560 × 415 × 345 mm internal dimensions allow four GN2/3 trays to be loaded simultaneously, making it suitable for batch cooking in medium-sized kitchens.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel interior after each use to prevent grease build-up, and the trays can be removed for separate washing. The double-glazed door should be cleaned with a damp cloth to maintain visibility, and the fan and heating element require periodic inspection to ensure unobstructed airflow. The safety thermostat and end-of-cycle alarm do not need regular maintenance but should be tested occasionally to confirm they are functioning.

A variant of this model, the RXL 424 PLUS H V26, includes an integrated humidifier for environments where moisture control is necessary during cooking.

The RXL 424 PLUS V26 is categorised under professional convection ovens in the FM Industrial catalogue.
