MKN Combi Steamer FKECOD121TG2 – Oven, Electric, FlexiCombi

Thirty point five kilowatts on a 400 V supply for a footprint of 997 x 799 x 1060 mm gives the FKECOD121TG2 a high power density for its size. With a maximum load weight of 120 kg across 20 GN 1/1 or 10 GN 2/1 positions, it is aimed at galleys where the combi is a primary production tool rather than a support oven.

On board, that 997 x 799 mm plan area and 1060 mm height matter because combis are usually backed onto a bulkhead under an extraction canopy, and space for service access and cleaning has to be reserved. At 150 kg net weight, the unit is substantial but still manageable for positioning on a welded plinth or flanged feet arrangement agreed with the yard. Electrical loading at 30.5 kW on 400 V means the electrical room and main galley panel need to be planned around this appliance as one of the major consumers.

Capacity is specified as 20 GN 1/1, 10 GN 2/1, or 10 FlexiRack levels. The ability to take GN 2/1 containers makes a difference where the menu runs large joints and bulk trays, and the FlexiRack option lets the kitchen shift towards a rack-based flow. With a published throughput of 150 to 300 meals per day, this oven sits in the middle band: enough to cover a crew and limited passenger complement on a single unit, or to serve as one of several combis on a larger vessel.

The 120 kg maximum load weight is the number that sets how aggressively the oven can be filled. On ships where service windows are short, there is a temptation to overload; here the manufacturer gives a clear ceiling that the galley designer and chef can plan to. Combined with the 30.5 kW electrical power, that figure points to stable cooking times at full GN 1/1 or GN 2/1 loading, without stretching the heat-up and recovery beyond what the service pattern can tolerate.

IP-rated water protection is noted, which is relevant in a marine galley where cleaning is done with hoses rather than cloths. An oven at this power level will see frequent cleaning cycles, and ingress protection reduces the risk of nuisance faults from wash-down, provided the unit is installed to the manufacturer’s instructions.

This model is a good fit where one combi has to cover 150 to 300 meals per day with mixed GN 1/1 and GN 2/1 work, in a space that can take a 997 x 799 mm footprint and the associated 30.5 kW electrical load. It is less suitable as a small back-up oven in a pantry or satellite galley, where a lower-capacity and lower-power unit would free up both deck space and electrical capacity.
