  • Pros: Excellent cooking flexibility in a unit that fits into tighter kitchen spaces.
  • Cons: The 6kW power draw means you'll need a dedicated circuit installed.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Copper Kettle," a popular tea room in the heart of the Peak District, was struggling with an outdated convection oven that limited their menu. They needed a single unit that could handle delicate scones, hearty pies, and  steamed puddings to meet customer demand throughout the day.

"The Blizzard combi has totally streamlined our kitchen. We can now bake, steam, and  roast with one machine, which is incredible. The consistency is spot on, and  our cakes have never been so moist. It’s just a brilliant, reliable piece of equipment."

Susan Clarke – Owner

Since installing the oven, The Copper Kettle has been able to expand its hot food menu and  has reported a 30% increase in lunch sales.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the oven is placed on a stable, level, and  heat-resistant surface.
  • This unit is single-phase but requires hardwiring by a qualified electrician due to its 6kW power rating.
  • Connect to a mains water supply for the steam function and  hand shower. A water filter is highly recommended to prevent limescale build-up.
  • Leave adequate ventilation space around the sides and  rear of the unit as per the manufacturer's guidelines.

Keeping It Going

  • After each day's use, use the supplied hand shower to rinse down the interior, then wipe with a soft cloth.
  • For tougher grime, use a non-caustic, food-safe oven cleaner. Avoid abrasive scourers.
  • Regularly check the door seal for any splits or damage to ensure heat and  steam aren't escaping.
  • If you are in a hard water area, implement a regular descaling routine to keep the steam jets clear and  working efficiently.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Combi Oven

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

Size & Capacity

Think about your peak service. How many covers do you do? A 5-tray oven like this is great for cafés and  smaller restaurants, but larger operations might need a 10 or 20-tray model.

Power Supply

Check your kitchen's electrical setup. This model is a powerful single-phase unit, but many larger combi ovens require a 3-phase supply. Always get an electrician to confirm what you can support.

Steam Generation

Direct injection (like this oven) is fast and  efficient for on-demand cooking. Boiler systems can provide more steam volume, which is better for things like large-scale vegetable steaming.

Controls

Manual controls are simple, robust, and  easy for anyone to use. Digital or programmable controls offer more precision and  allow you to save cooking recipes for perfect consistency every time.

Cleaning Systems

A hand shower is a fantastic manual cleaning aid. More advanced models might feature fully automatic cleaning cycles, which save significant time and  labour at the end of a long day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'GN1/1' mean?

A: GN1/1 refers to a standard Gastronorm size (530 x 325mm). This means the oven is compatible with the most common trays and  pans used in commercial kitchens across the UK and  Europe.

Q: Can the door be reversed to open from the right?

A: This model comes with the hinge on the left as standard and  it is not reversible.

Q: Can I bake and  steam at the same time?

A: Yes, that's the 'combi' part! You can use convection heat (baking/roasting) and  steam injection simultaneously to get the perfect balance of browning and  moisture.

Q: What is the benefit of 304-grade stainless steel?

A: It's a high-quality, food-safe grade of stainless steel known for its excellent corrosion resistance and  durability, making it perfect for the demanding environment of a commercial kitchen.

Q: Is the hand shower for cleaning the oven or washing food?

A: The hand shower is designed exclusively for rinsing and  cleaning the inside of the oven cavity after service.

Q: Do I need a professional to install this oven?

A: Yes, due to the 6000W power rating, this appliance must be hardwired into your mains electricity by a qualified commercial electrician.

Q: How much clearance does the oven need around it?

A: We always recommend checking the manufacturer's spec sheet, but a general rule is to allow at least 10cm at the back and  sides for proper air circulation.

Q: What is the maximum temperature this oven can reach?

A: The Blizzard RDA105E has a maximum temperature of +270°C, which is more than hot enough for roasting, baking bread, and  pizzas.

How Direct Steam Delivers Flavour and  Moisture

Ever wondered what 'direct steam' actually means for your food? It's quite simple, but very clever. Instead of a separate boiler that has to heat up a tank of water, a direct steam system injects a fine mist of water directly onto the oven's super-hot heating element. This creates a powerful, instantaneous blast of steam right when you need it.

Think of it like this: a boiler system is like leaving a kettle boiling in a room to make it humid – it works, but it's slow. Direct injection is like a high-pressure mister you'd find at a fancy greengrocer's – it's immediate, efficient, and  precise. This means your food, whether it's fish, vegetables, or bread, gets that vital moisture locked in instantly, resulting in better texture, flavour, and  appearance, all while using less energy.

Who Should Buy This?

  • High-Street Cafés: Perfect for baking fresh pastries in the morning and  offering hot lunch specials like jacket potatoes or pies.
  • Village Pubs: Ideal for elevating the Sunday roast, steaming vegetables, and  preparing consistent menu items with minimal fuss.
  • Mobile & Event Caterers: Its robust build and  versatile cooking functions make it a reliable asset for diverse event menus.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: A great tool for cooking pies, sausage rolls, and  roasted meats for the deli counter, adding value and  fresh appeal.
