MKN Combi Steamer FKECOD215CG2 – Oven, Electric, FlexiCombi

Twenty GN 1/1 levels carrying up to 150 kg in a single chamber define the FKECOD215CG2 as one of the larger bodies in the FlexiCombi series. With stated throughput of 150–300 meals per day on GN 1/1 and 150–400 meals per day using FlexiRack, it is sized as a main production oven for a shipboard galley.

At 1075 x 813 x 1960 mm and a net weight of 295 kg, this is a substantial installation on any deck. The 1960 mm height needs to be checked against deckhead services and beams during design, because once it is in place moving it again is not trivial. The 295 kg body plus up to 150 kg of food load also means the foundation, plinth and fixings must be specified for that combined mass, so that vessel motion does not transfer stress to adjacent furniture or linings.

The footprint of 1075 x 813 mm has implications for both galley layout and logistics. Routing a unit of this size into position requires confirming door openings and corridor widths before outfit progresses too far. Once installed, the width and depth determine how it aligns with adjacent Optima blocks, servery passes or extraction canopies, and how much working space remains in front for loading and unloading 20 levels safely.

Electrically, the FKECOD215CG2 is rated at 31.7 kW on a 400 V supply. That figure puts it among the larger single consumers on a typical galley distribution board and it needs to be scheduled alongside kettles, dishwashers and laundry equipment in the overall load calculation. Cable sizing, protective devices and the grouping of circuits on the switchboard all have to treat this oven as a dedicated high‑load feeder rather than a background appliance.

Capacity figures are the reason this model earns that electrical and deck space. The GN 1/1 capacity is 20 insertion levels, and the FlexiRack capacity is also given as 20 positions, corresponding to approximately 35 x GN 1/1 in effective loading. For menu planning the manufacturer’s throughput ranges — 150–300 meals per day with GN 1/1 and 150–400 meals per day with FlexiRack — give a direct way to align hot production with passenger or crew numbers. A galley running multiple services per day can structure batches around those numbers instead of spreading the same work over several smaller combis.

Build and control

• IP-rated water protection

The IP-rated water protection is particularly relevant on a vessel where combis are routinely cleaned down with spray wands and the ambient around the cooking line is humid. Declared ingress protection gives the superintendent and yard a clearer basis for pairing the oven with existing cleaning regimes, rather than relying on informal limits that may vary by ship.

This unit is the right choice where production is centralised in a main galley or large crew mess and daily counts sit within the 150–400 meals-per-day envelope, with enough electrical capacity to dedicate 31.7 kW on a 400 V board. It is the wrong choice for a small vessel galley with limited power availability or low headcount, where using a 295 kg, 20-level body would tie up space and electrical load that a smaller combi could cover more appropriately.
