MKN Combi Steamer FKECOD621CG2 – Oven, Electric, FlexiCombi

Twelve GN 1/1 levels and a quoted maximum load of 72 kg put the MKN FKECOD621CG2 in the main production class of combi ovens. The same chamber can also be run with six GN 2/1 or six FlexiRack inserts, so capacity planning can follow the menu rather than a fixed container format.

The external dimensions of 997 x 799 x 790 mm give a clear idea of how this unit will sit in a marine galley. At 790 mm high it can be positioned under existing canopies without crowding the deckhead, while the 997 x 799 mm footprint defines the deck space the yard needs to reserve on a plinth or foundation. With a net weight of 125 kg the oven is substantial enough to require proper fixing, but it is still manageable when routing through doors and up companionways during a refit. The 400 V supply and 20.9 kW electrical power requirement are central to the electrical design; the switchboard allocation and cable sizing have to reflect that one appliance can draw 20.9 kW when running at full demand.

On the production side, the manufacturer rates the FKECOD621CG2 for 60–160 meals per day. That band matches a typical crew galley or a single outlet on a smaller passenger vessel where service happens in controlled peaks. With 12 x GN 1/1 capacity, the kitchen can stage multiple runs of plated regeneration or batch cooking, while the option to use six GN 2/1 containers supports denser bulk production in deeper pans. Six FlexiRack positions offer an alternative loading pattern where crosswise trays can be used to optimise access and tray count for bakery or snack items. The 72 kg maximum load is the practical limit for how much product can be loaded per run without overloading the chamber supports.

The 20.9 kW connected load is what drives heat-up and recovery behaviour between door openings, which is important when planning service tempo. At the same time, all of that energy ultimately enters the galley environment, so the HVAC calculation for the space should treat the 20.9 kW figure as a significant part of the sensible and latent heat load. The overall dimensions allow the oven to align with adjacent fabrication and equipment, simplifying bench runs and routing of services below or behind the line.

Build and control

• IP-rated water protection

The IP-rated water protection matters aboard because galleys are cleaned aggressively, often with hoses and spray. It gives the yard and operator a defined envelope for wash-down routines without putting internal electric components at unnecessary risk, provided the cleaning practice respects the published rating.

This configuration is the right choice where a vessel needs a single electric combi to cover a daily output in the 60–160 meal band and can assign a 400 V, 20.9 kW supply to it. It is the wrong choice for a ship running a main galley well beyond that meal volume, where a larger chamber or multiple combis are needed, or for a vessel with very restricted electrical capacity that cannot spare 20.9 kW for one appliance.
