MKN Combi Steamer FKECOD221CG2 – Oven, Electric, FlexiCombi

Forty GN 1/1 levels, twenty GN 2/1 positions and twenty FlexiRack slots put the FKECOD221CG2 into the high-capacity end of the FlexiCombi range. With a published throughput of 300–500 meals per day, it is dimensioned as a main production oven rather than a support unit.

On board, that loading combines with a 60.9 kW electrical rating and a 400 V supply requirement, so the unit has to be tied into a suitably sized distribution board and considered early in the electrical balance. The footprint of 1115 x 999 mm and a height of 1960 mm define a tall, deep appliance that will anchor one section of the galley line; the deckhead height and any overhead services have to be checked against the 1960 mm casing before committing it to a space. Net weight at 363 kg, plus up to 200 kg of food and containers, puts more than half a tonne onto the foundations, which is a design point for the deck, not just for the kitchen crew.

The 60.9 kW connected load is what allows the chamber to carry a 200 kg maximum load weight across 40 GN 1/1 or 20 GN 2/1 insertions without long recovery times between batches. On a vessel running three services daily in a single main galley, the quoted 300–500 meals per day aligns with a full service pattern where the FlexiCombi carries roasting, baking, steaming and regeneration across the day. The 20 FlexiRack positions add the option of crosswise loading where the galley prefers that handling pattern over GN-only operation.

The dimensions of 1115 x 999 x 1960 mm and a net 363 kg also define how the oven is brought on board and moved into place. It will typically be installed before surrounding furniture and other fixed equipment, with enough access left for service on the 400 V connection and any associated water and ventilation connections specified in the installation documentation. Once in position, the machine’s throughput envelope of 300–500 meals per day supports a medium to large complement without requiring multiple full-size combis.

Build and control

• IP-rated water protection

The IP-rated water protection is relevant in a marine galley where cleaning routines involve hose-down of decks and equipment fronts rather than only manual wiping. A combi steamer without that sealing would either force a change of cleaning method around it or face a higher risk of water ingress and service calls over time.

This FlexiCombi is the right choice where a single oven is expected to handle the core hot production for roughly 300–500 meals per day and where the galley design can allocate 1115 x 999 mm of footprint, 1960 mm of height and a 60.9 kW, 400 V supply. It is the wrong choice for a small crew galley, mess room or bridge pantry serving well below that meal count, where both the 363 kg net weight and the 60.9 kW electrical demand are disproportionate to the requirement and a smaller-body combi would be more appropriate.
