Configuration decisions
Choose the format for the job.
Tray format, cooking modes and usable rack capacity
Compare tray format, usable capacity and the specified steam or combination modes. Confirm water quality, supply, drainage and cleaning requirements for the actual model.
Plan the complete installed configuration
Confirm electrical supply, water treatment, drainage and door access. Check oven, support, trays and connection or cleaning components. Use the actual dimensional drawing and installation manual before ordering.
Measure twice. Choose once.
Fit means more than equipment width.
Exterior & operating footprint
Electrical supply, water treatment, drainage and door access. Use the exact model’s dimensional drawing and installation instructions.
Capacity & access
Tray format, cooking modes and usable rack capacity. Confirm the actual model’s usable configuration rather than relying on the category name.
Doorway & delivery route
Measure entrances, corridors, turns, stairs and elevators. Obtain packaged dimensions and weight as well as installed dimensions. Confirm delivery and placement arrangements before ordering.
Electrical supply & receptacle
Check the exact model’s voltage, frequency, phase, rated current, plug and circuit requirements against the site supply and installation manual.
Ventilation & installation space
Confirm intake and discharge locations, required clearances and ambient limits. Preserve access for cleaning and service. An illustrative image does not establish installation clearance.
Fuel, water & site connections
Confirm the exact model’s gas type or electrical supply. For equipment that uses water or steam, verify water quality, filling and drainage instructions. Use qualified installation support where required by the manufacturer and site.
Capacity, output & included components
Tray format, cooking modes and usable rack capacity. Oven, support, trays and connection or cleaning components. Read the exact listing and manufacturer documents before comparing models.
Legs, levelling & installed height
Check supplied legs or feet, complete installed height and the manufacturer’s levelling, mounting and movement instructions. Confirm any separate support or mounting components.
Operation & ownership
Look beyond the purchase price.
Energy & operating information
Compare documented energy information and operating conditions for the exact model. Review fuel or electrical input and the operating conditions behind output or capacity figures. Compare like cooking tasks under the same documented conditions.
Cleaning & maintenance
Review the exact manual’s cleaning, sanitizing, surface care and service intervals. Plan access to food-contact areas and removable parts, and use the specified products and procedures.
Commercial approvals & suitability
Verify certification and intended use on the actual model’s documentation. Confirm suitability for the proposed application where required; do not assume collection-wide approval.
Warranty, parts & Canadian service
Confirm current Canadian warranty terms, exclusions, installation obligations, claim procedures and local service arrangements for the exact model. Ask about parts and consumables before ordering.
Before ordering

Frequently asked questions
A few questions before ordering.
What is a commercial combi oven?
A combi oven combines convection heat and steam, allowing you to cook with dry heat, steam, or a controlled combination. This improves consistency and moisture retention while expanding menu flexibility.
Why choose an electric combi oven?
Electric combi ovens are a strong fit where electric utilities are preferred or where gas is limited. They deliver precise control, programmable cooking, and consistent results for batch production.
Do combi ovens need a water connection?
Yes. Steam/humidity functions require a water supply, and most installations also require a drain. Many kitchens use filtration or softening to protect performance and reduce maintenance.
What should I confirm before buying?
Confirm electrical requirements (voltage/phase), water and drain planning, ventilation/clearances, and delivery access. Commercial ovens should be installed and commissioned by qualified professionals.
