Convection oven Tecnoeka EKF-423-N-U

The Tecnoeka EKF 423 N U is a convection oven from the EVOLUTION SNACK series, designed for cooking and heating a variety of dishes.

Convection ovens operate by circulating hot air within the cooking chamber. A fan forces heated air around the food, ensuring even cooking and browning on all surfaces. This method is faster and more consistent than static heat ovens, as it eliminates cooler spots and allows for cooking multiple dishes at once without flavour transfer.

The sequence of use involves placing food within the oven chamber, setting the desired temperature and cooking time using the mechanical control panel, and starting the heating cycle. The humidification function can be activated via a dedicated button to add moisture during cooking, which is beneficial for certain types of food. Once cooking is complete, the side-opening door allows for safe removal of the food.

Construction details include a chamber made from AISI 304 stainless steel, known for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning. The oven has a protection class of IPX3.

The mechanical control panel allows for setting the oven's temperature, which can range from 100 °C to 260 °C. The oven has a power rating of 3.1 kW, indicating the electrical load it will place on the supply. Its dimensions are 590 mm in length, 709 mm in width, and 589 mm in height. The unit weighs 36.4 kg, which influences how it can be positioned and moved. It operates on a 220 V supply and has a capacity for 4 x GN 1/2 pans.

Cleaning and upkeep would typically involve wiping down the stainless steel chamber and exterior surfaces. The side-opening door and the nature of the chamber material facilitate routine cleaning.
