RATIONAL Multifunctional Cooking System iVario 2-XS – MarineLine, Electric, 2 × 17 litres

The iVario 2-XS puts two independent 17-litre pans in a single table-top unit. Each pan boils, pan-fries and deep-fries on its own settings, so one appliance can stand in for a small kettle, a griddle and a fryer. RATIONAL rates it for up to 30 meals a day, which makes it a fit for yacht galleys and small crew galleys.

On board

Each pan fills with water to the litre and empties through the integrated pan drain, so boiling pasta or blanching vegetables does not mean lifting a hot pot on a moving deck. Boiling and deep-frying baskets are raised automatically when the time is up. A 10.1-inch touchscreen, up to 1,200 programmes and Ethernet and USB interfaces are standard; iZoneControl and low-temperature cooking are options on this size, and pressure cooking is not offered.

Choosing the size

The next size, the iVario Pro 2-S, offers 2 × 25 litres of effective volume against 2 × 17 litres here, is rated for 50–100 meals a day and draws 21 kW on a 32 A fuse, compared with 14 kW on 20 A for this unit.

Connections

RATIONAL publishes 14 kW for the iVario 2-XS on 3 N AC 400 V with a 20 A fuse. The marine voltage list covers 3 NAC 400 V and 415 V, and 3 AC 200 V to 480 V without neutral conductor, 440 V included; without a neutral the unit has no integrated socket. Both 50 Hz and 60 Hz work. Power comes in through a metal fitting with a 1 1/2" (49 mm) external thread, water through R 3/4", and the drain is DN 40. Size: 1,100 mm wide, 756 mm deep, 482 mm (1,080 mm) high; weight 117 kg.

Marine installation

The iVario 2-XS ships on 90 mm plastic feet. On board it is bolted to a table with unit attachment kit Art. 60.76.118 or set on MarineLine stand unit Art. 60.31.701 (1,100 × 694 × 595 mm W × D × H), whose stainless steel feet are screwed or welded to the deck. The iVario is DNV GL certified for galley installation. For SOLAS installations an optional safety temperature limiter signal can be wired to an external 230 V signalling device (max. 8 A, not included), which displays the voltage connection, flags oil overheating and allows shutdown from an external emergency stop.

We quote the iVario 2-XS MarineLine to the vessel: supply voltage, deck fixing, SOLAS option and pan accessories are confirmed against the galley drawing before the order.
