Turbofan EC40M7 Electric Combi Oven

The Turbofan EC40M7 is a full size 7 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 7 x 1/1 GN or 600mm x 400mm trays on 70mm spacing and runs twin auto-reversing fans, making it the step up model in the Turbofan combi range for kitchens that need more output than the 5 tray EC40M5.

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 EC40M7 suits busier cafes, function kitchens and small restaurants that want combi steam cooking with real capacity. 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: busier kitchens that need full combi steam cooking with 7 tray capacity.

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.

CSK407 stacking kit, $1,040.00 plus GST

The CSK407 kit lets a second EC40M7 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 EC40M7 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 EC40M7 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, so plumbing is required alongside the electrical connection.

Is the EC40M7 hardwired or does it plug in?

The EC40M7 is hardwired, not a plug-in unit. It draws 18A per phase on three phase power and needs a licensed electrician for installation. There is no single phase option on this model, so check your site has three phase supply before ordering.

What trays does it take?

The EC40M7 takes 7 x 1/1 GN pans or 7 x 600mm x 400mm trays on 70mm spacing.

What is the difference between the EC40M5 and EC40M7?

The EC40M7 has 7 trays and twin fans at 12.5kW, while the EC40M5 has 5 trays and a single fan at 7.25kW. If a kitchen needs more output and has three phase power available, the EC40M7 makes better use of the same footprint. If power supply or budget is tighter, the EC40M5 is the easier fit.

Does the EC40M7 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 EC40M7 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 EC40M7 come with?

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