Overview

The Zanussi FCF Ovens are a range of forced air convection ovens designed for professional catering environments, emphasizing reliability, safety, innovative technology, ergonomics, and energy saving. These ovens are ideal for cooking au gratin, grilling, and roasting, and are available in both gas and electric versions across five different models: 6 1/1, 10 1/1, 10 2/1, 20 1/1, and 20 2/1.

Function Description:

The FCF ovens utilize forced hot air convection to provide rapid and uniform cooking. A key feature is the new heating unit technology, which allows the ovens to reach cooking temperature in half the time of conventional appliances. The fan-driven airflow ensures extra-quick cooking and an unprecedented maximum temperature of 300°C. The Flow Channel heat optimization system guarantees extremely uniform temperature distribution across all tray loading levels, regardless of the amount of food being cooked. This advanced technology makes the ovens suitable for a wide range of products, including meat, cakes, and various bread and confectionery items.

A significant functional aspect is the integrated humidifier, which prevents food from drying out during cooking. This not only keeps meat moist and tender but also dramatically reduces weight loss, contributing to better food quality and yield. The ovens also feature a rapid oven chamber cooling system, which quickly reduces the internal temperature, allowing for immediate transition to the next cooking cycle without prolonged waiting times.

The control panels are designed for simplicity and ergonomics, featuring easy-to-operate knobs for setting various cooking modes. These modes include convection cooking without humidification, convection cooking with humidification (with five different humidity levels), and rapid oven chamber cooling. A thermostat allows for precise temperature settings from 30°C to 300°C, and a timer can be set for cooking times from 0 to 120 minutes, with a continuous operation position. An optional probe accessory enables precise control of the food's core temperature (0-99°C), which is essential for cooking large joints of meat. Gas models include either an electric igniter (for models 10 1/1, 10 2/1, 20 1/1, and 20 2/1) or a piezoelectric igniter (for model 6 1/1) for pilot burner ignition.

Important Technical Specifications:

The FCF ovens are designed for crosswise insertion of GN 1/1 trays, with wider and shallower cooking chambers for improved heat diffusion and visibility. Dimensions (Width x Depth x Height):

  • FCF 6 1/1 G (Gas): 860 x 746 x 701 mm
  • FCF 6 1/1 E (Electric): 860 x 746 x 633 mm
  • FCF 10 1/1 G (Gas): 890 x 900 x 970 mm
  • FCF 10 1/1 E (Electric): 890 x 900 x 970 mm
  • FCF 10 2/1 G (Gas): 890 x 1215 x 970 mm
  • FCF 10 2/1 E (Electric): 890 x 1215 x 970 mm

  • FCF 20 2/1 E (Electric): 890 x 1215 x 1750 mm

The ovens are built with rugged, durable construction materials. The improved combustion system in gas models leads to a reduction in gas consumption of over 10%. All products are manufactured under an industrial process certified to ISO 9001 standards, ensuring high quality and reliability. The ovens also bear the CE mark, confirming compliance with European safety standards.

Usage Features:

The FCF ovens offer a high degree of flexibility for various catering applications. The control panel allows for precise selection of cooking parameters:

  • Heating with low-level humidification: Ideal for stewed vegetables (peas, peppers, etc.).
  • Heating with medium/low-level humidification: Suitable for vegetables au gratin, roast meat and fish, soufflés, and timbales.
  • Heating with medium-level humidification: For all types of roast meat and fish (small pieces).
  • Heating with medium/high-level humidification: For all types of red meat (large pieces).
  • Heating with high-level humidification: For all types of white meat (large pieces), bread products, and for regenerating pre-cooked food.
  • Ventilation without heating: For rapid cooling of the oven chamber after cooking.
  • Heating without humidification: For crisp cooking, browning, au gratin, and grilling.
  • Cooking with probe: For measuring food core temperature for extra precise, calibrated cooking.

The oven doors feature simple and safe opening/closing systems. Models 6 1/1, 10 1/1, and 10 2/1 use a press-button system, while models 20 1/1 and 20 2/1 use a rotating handle. A side lighting system within the oven chamber allows for easy monitoring of the cooking process. Electric models also include an oven chamber dehumidification valve.

A wide range of top-quality accessories is available to customize the oven configuration, including:

  • Bases (for 6 1/1, 10 1/1, 10 2/1 ovens)
  • Tray racks with various spacings (60mm, 80mm)
  • Cupboard bases (heated or ambient)
  • Feet kits
  • Trolleys with slide-in racks (for 10 1/1, 10 2/1, 20 1/1, 20 2/1 models)
  • Sliding tray holder kits
  • Retractable and external spray arms
  • Support for confectionery trays and flat aluminum confectionery trays
  • AISI 304 stainless steel GN grids (1/1, 2/1) and 1/2 GN tray supports
  • Fat filters
  • Automatic water softeners and resin sanitizers
  • Water filters for ovens without boilers
  • Flue condensers/draft diverters (for gas models)
  • Probe kits
  • Insulating covers for slide-in racks

Maintenance Features:

Ease of cleaning is a primary design consideration for FCF ovens. The oven chambers have rounded corners with no sharp edges or joins, making them exceptionally easy to clean. All tray supports are easily removable without the need for tools. The large oven door is fitted with rounded seals that lack recesses where dirt could accumulate. A quick cleaning procedure ensures total hygiene at the end of each day: a 5th level humidification cycle (with the valve closed), a quick spray of detergent, and a final rinse with the spray arm. The retractable spray arm (available for models 6 1/1, 10 1/1, and 10 2/1) further simplifies oven cleaning.
