Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Gull Fish & Grill in Porthleven, Cornwall, needed to expand their menu beyond fried food. Their existing convection oven was struggling with consistency, especially when baking pies and  roasting chicken for their popular takeaway meals.

"The Blue Seal is absolutely brilliant. The combination of steam and  convection means our pies have a perfectly crisp crust and  a moist filling, every single time. Our roast chickens fly out the door now because they're so juicy. It's made a huge difference to our consistency and  our confidence in the menu."

David Chen – Owner & Head Chef

Since installing the Turbofan EC40M10, The Salty Gull has reduced cooking times by an average of 20% and  seen a 50% increase in sales of their baked and  roasted items.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit requires installation by a qualified engineer to connect the 3-phase electricity supply and  water mains.
  • Ensure the oven is placed on a completely level, stable surface with adequate ventilation space around the back and  sides.
  • The supplied water softener must be installed between the water supply and  the oven to prevent limescale build-up.
  • A water drainage connection is also required, so ensure it's positioned near a suitable floor drain.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the interior chamber and  the door seal daily with a soft cloth and  mild detergent to prevent food build-up.
  • Leave the door slightly ajar overnight to allow the chamber to air out and  dry completely.
  • Regularly check the water softener and  regenerate or replace the cartridge as per the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Never use abrasive scourers, steel wool, or harsh chemicals on the stainless steel or glass surfaces.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Combi Oven

Not sure which combi oven is the right fit for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider to help you make the perfect choice.

Capacity & Grid Size

Think about your busiest service. A 10-grid oven like this is great for mid-to-large sized operations, but smaller cafes might manage with a 4 or 6-grid model.

Manual vs. Digital Controls

Manual dials offer simplicity and  reliability, which is fantastic for high staff turnover. Digital controls offer precision and  programmability for complex, repeatable recipes.

Power Supply

Check your kitchen's services! This model is a powerful 3-phase electric unit. Make sure you have the correct supply, or consider a gas alternative if not.

Footprint & Space

Combi ovens are big bits of kit. Measure your available space carefully, remembering to leave room for ventilation and  for the door to swing fully open.

Cleaning

An oven that's easy to clean saves you time and  money. Look for features like rounded internal corners and  removable tray racks, which this model has.

Water Treatment

In the UK, limescale is an oven's worst enemy. A model that includes a water softener, like this one, is a massive plus for protecting its internal components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does a 'combi' oven actually do?

A: It combines three cooking methods in one unit: convection (dry fan heat), steam (wet heat), and  a combination of both. This makes it incredibly versatile for roasting, steaming, baking, grilling, and  regenerating food.

Q: What size trays does this oven take?

A: It's designed for 10 x 1/1 Gastronorm (GN) trays, which is a standard commercial kitchen size. It can also accommodate 10 x 600mm x 400mm baking trays.

Q: Is this oven difficult to use?

A: Not at all. The Blue Seal Turbofan EC40M10 combi oven uses simple manual dials for time, temperature, and  cooking mode, making it one of the most straightforward combi ovens on the market.

Q: How does the steam get generated?

A: This model uses a direct steam injection system, where water is sprayed directly onto the heating element for instant steam. It's fast, efficient, and  requires less maintenance than boiler systems.

Q: Do I really need the water softener?

A: Yes, absolutely. In most parts of the UK, mains water is hard and  will cause damaging limescale to build up inside the oven. Using the supplied softener is essential for the oven's longevity.

Q: Can I bake bread in this oven?

A: Yes, it's excellent for baking. The combination mode allows you to inject steam at the start of the bake for a great rise and  crust, then finish with dry convection heat for a perfect bake.

Q: What kind of electrical supply is needed?

A: This is a high-power appliance and  requires a 3-phase electrical supply, which is common in commercial kitchens. It cannot be run from a standard domestic socket.

Q: How easy is it to clean?

A: The smooth, stainless steel chamber with rounded corners is designed specifically for easy cleaning. There are no awkward corners for grease to get trapped in.

Why a Direct Steam System Is Your Secret Weapon

Ever wondered what 'direct steam' actually means? Imagine the difference between boiling a kettle in a room to make it steamy, versus using a targeted, high-pressure steam cleaner. The first is slow and  imprecise; the second is instant and  powerful. A direct steam system works like the latter. It injects water directly onto the super-hot heating element, creating a powerful burst of steam right inside the cooking chamber, exactly when you need it.

This method gives you incredibly precise control over humidity, which is crucial for preventing food like chicken or fish from drying out. It also helps bread to rise beautifully with a fantastic crust. Because it's so quick and  responsive, you use less water and  energy compared to older boiler-based systems, saving you money on your bills in the long run.
