MKN Combi Steamer FKECOD115CG2 – Oven, Electric, FlexiCombi

Ten GN 1/1 levels carrying up to 90 kg of food set the FKECOD115CG2 in the mid-size FlexiCombi class. With a stated throughput of 80–150 meals per day on 1/1 GN, it sits squarely in the volume band of a main galley on a smaller vessel or a dedicated section on a larger ship.

At 997 x 799 x 1060 mm, this oven needs to be planned as a full-width piece of cooking equipment on the line rather than a compact counter unit. The 145 kg net weight and 15.9 kW electrical rating matter directly to the naval architect: the deck foundation has to carry that static load, and the distribution board has to reserve enough power on the 400 V supply without compromising other galley consumers. In a marine galley where heat and humidity feed into the HVAC load, centralising 80–150 meals per day into a single 15.9 kW combi simplifies both extraction and chilled-water calculations compared with spreading that duty across multiple smaller appliances.

The chamber geometry and loading pattern are where the FlexiCombi concept shows. Ten GN 1/1 shelves allow classic longitudinal loading, but the published FlexiRack capacity of 10 racks (≈ 17 x GN 1/1) means the same footprint can carry crosswise racks for higher tray counts per level. That flexibility is valuable on a vessel where menu cycles change between crew, officers and passengers but equipment positions do not. The 90 kg maximum load weight is a practical upper bound for planning batches of bulk items instead of overfilling and compromising air circulation.

Electrical connection is specified at 400 V with a total electrical power of 15.9 kW, so the unit is intended for a three-phase cooking distribution rather than a light commercial ring. In refit work this often decides whether the combi can replace several legacy appliances on an existing busbar, or whether a new feeder is required. The 997 mm length and 799 mm width should also be read against bulkhead clearances and door widths; moving a 145 kg body through existing passages can be more of a constraint than the final siting.

Build and control

• IP-rated water protection

The IP-rated water protection allows the FKECOD115CG2 to live in a galley where cleaning is done with spray rather than wiping, reducing the risk of moisture ingress during routine wash-downs. That, together with the stainless-steel construction typical of this class, supports compliance with hygiene regimes where equipment is regularly inspected.

This combi is the right choice where a single unit has to carry a consistent 80–150 meals per day with the tray density of 10 GN 1/1 or 10 FlexiRack positions, and where 15.9 kW at 400 V is readily available. It is the wrong choice in a pantry or small mess where service volumes are well below this range and installed electrical power is tight; in those cases a smaller chamber with lower connected load will be easier to accommodate.
