Hobart Ecomax 10 x GN 1/1 Combination Oven HECMFE10HUWICP

The Hobart Ecomax HECMFE10HUWICP is a ten-rack full-size combination oven designed for professional kitchen environments where consistent results, flexible cooking modes and reliable throughput are daily requirements. It handles steam, convection and combined modes, giving kitchen teams the control to cook a wide range of menu items — from roasting and baking through to steaming and regeneration — within a single unit.

In service, the Ecomax range is built for sustained use across busy meal periods. The combination mode allows precise humidity management throughout the cook cycle, which is particularly useful when maintaining moisture in proteins or achieving consistent crust development in baked goods at volume. The multipoint core probe monitors internal food temperature across the cavity, reducing the risk of inconsistent results when cooking large or uneven loads — a practical advantage during a high-pressure service.

From an operational standpoint, the Ecomax offers a number of tangible benefits for kitchen teams:

• Automatic wash system reduces end-of-service cleaning time and supports hygiene compliance without manual scrubbing
• Humidity control allows operators to tailor cooking conditions to specific menu requirements
• Multipoint core probe improves consistency across large batch loads
• Modular feature configuration means operators can adapt the oven as their menu evolves
• Stainless steel construction supports easy daily cleaning and withstands the demands of a commercial environment

Installation requires careful planning. At 160kg and 950mm deep, adequate floor reinforcement and access clearance should be confirmed before delivery. The unit will require a suitable electrical supply to support its 18.5kW draw — a qualified electrician should assess the existing supply before installation. Ventilation provision above and around the unit is essential; the site should have either a canopy extraction system or an approved ventless hood solution in place. Ensure the installation position allows full door clearance and practical rack access during service.

The ten-rack capacity makes this oven well suited to mid-to-high volume operations — hotel kitchens, busy contract catering sites, large pub kitchens and similar environments where throughput during peak periods is a priority. Smaller operations with lower volume requirements may find a six-rack unit a more proportionate fit, while higher-volume central production or banqueting operations may benefit from a larger-capacity alternative.

If you are weighing up whether this oven is the right fit for your setup — in terms of capacity, electrical requirements or how it would sit alongside your existing equipment — the team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit.
