Turbofan EC40M5 Electric Combi Oven

The Turbofan EC40M5 is a full size 5 tray electric combi oven that cooks on convection, on steam, or a combination of both, which is what "combi" refers to. Roasting on convection alone can dry out and shrink a roast by as much as half through moisture loss, while combi and steam modes hold that moisture in and keep yields up. It fits 5 x 1/1 GN or 600mm x 400mm trays on 70mm spacing, making it the entry point into the Turbofan combi range for kitchens that need more than a convection oven can deliver but do not have room for a larger unit.

Turbofan combi ovens are manufactured in Italy by Lainox under license to the Moffat brand, and backed by Moffat's Australia wide service and spare parts network. The EC40M5 suits cafes, bakeries and small commercial kitchens that want steam cooking without stepping up to a full size 7 tray unit. Because it uses steam it needs a water supply and drain connection, unlike a standard convection oven. It can sit on the bench on its own 100mm feet or be mounted on the Turbofan SK40A stand, and comes standard with a hand shower, water filter cartridge and filter head.

Best for: cafes and small kitchens that need combi steam cooking in a compact footprint.

SK40A stainless steel stand, $990.00 plus GST

The SK40A stand is fully welded stainless steel with 6 tray runners suitable for 1/1 GN pans and 600mm x 400mm trays, and 4 height adjustable feet. It suits both the EC40M5 and EC40M7 so it is one stand across the range.

CSK405 stacking kit, $1,040.00 plus GST

The CSK405 kit lets a second EC40M5 be stacked on top, doubling tray capacity in the same footprint, which suits kitchens that are short on floor space but need more oven output.

What is the difference between a combi oven and a convection oven?

A convection oven only cooks with dry heat, which can shrink a roast by as much as half through moisture loss. The EC40M5 can run pure convection, pure steam, or a combination of both, so it holds moisture in during roasting, reheating and proving as well as covering everything a standard convection oven does.

Does the EC40M5 need a water and drain connection?

Yes. Because it uses steam it needs a cold water supply on a 3/4" BSP fitting and a drain outlet with a funnel waste trap or tundish, so plumbing is required alongside the electrical connection.

Is the EC40M5 hardwired or does it plug in?

The EC40M5 is hardwired, not a plug-in unit. It can be wired for single phase at 32A or three phase at 11A per phase, so it fits most existing kitchen supplies without needing a large power upgrade. A licensed electrician is required for installation.

What trays does it take?

The EC40M5 takes 5 x 1/1 GN pans or 5 x 600mm x 400mm trays on 70mm spacing.

What is the difference between the EC40M5 and EC40M7?

The EC40M5 has 5 trays and a single fan at 7.25kW, while the EC40M7 has 7 trays and twin fans at 12.5kW. If bench space and output allow it, the EC40M7 gives more capacity for a similar footprint. If space or power supply is tighter, the EC40M5 is the easier fit.

Does the EC40M5 need an exhaust hood?

Yes. Steam is released each time the door is opened during steam or combi cooking, so a hood is needed regardless of the oven's power rating. If a hood is not possible, the Turbofan CEH extraction hood with air cooled condenser is available as an optional extra for EC40M models, $4,980.00 plus GST.

Can the EC40M5 sit on a bench?

Yes. It has its own 100mm feet and can be bench mounted, or mounted on the Turbofan SK40A stand if bench space is not available.

What warranty does the EC40M5 come with?

24 months parts and labour, backed by Moffat's Australia wide service network.
