- Cons: Its manual drain system needs user action, unlike fully automated models.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Chequered Flag Inn in Silverstone, Northamptonshire, needed to upgrade their kitchen to cope with massive crowds during race weekends. Their old combi oven was proving unreliable and couldn't handle the volume, causing delays to their famous Sunday carvery.
"We can now steam all our Sunday roast vegetables to perfection in one go. The consistency is spot on, and it's freed up so much hob space. It's taken a huge amount of pressure off the team during our busiest periods."
David Williams – Head Chef
The new Falcon steamer reduced their Sunday lunch vegetable preparation time by 30% and dramatically improved dish consistency across the board.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the oven is placed on a completely level and stable floor. Use the flanged feet to secure it for safety.
- A qualified engineer must connect the unit to a 3/4" BSP mains water supply.
- This appliance requires hardwiring to a suitable electricity supply by a certified electrician.
- Connect the 1" drain valve to a suitable waste outlet, ensuring a clear downward slope for drainage.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe the stainless steel interior and door seals daily with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Remove and soak the shelf hangers weekly to remove any stubborn food residue.
- Regularly descale the oven chamber, especially if you are in a hard water area, to maintain performance.
- Check the door gasket for any signs of wear or damage to ensure an efficient seal.

You might see 'manual drain' and think it sounds like extra work, but it’s actually a brilliantly simple and robust feature. Think of it like the plug in your kitchen sink at home. Instead of relying on sensors or pumps that can fail, you have a straightforward valve that you open to let the condensation and water out when you're ready to clean down. This gives you complete control, letting you place a bucket underneath or time the drain perfectly. For a busy kitchen, this simplicity means one less thing to worry about – it's a reliable, mechanical system with fewer electronic parts to potentially go wrong.
