Buffalo Smart Touchscreen Compact Combi Oven 6 x GN 1/1

The Buffalo Smart Touchscreen Compact Combi Oven is a six-rack combination oven designed for commercial kitchens that need genuine combi functionality without the footprint or cost of a full-size unit. It operates across steam, convection, and combination modes, giving operators the flexibility to roast, bake, steam, and regenerate within a single appliance.

In practice, a six-rack combi of this type is well suited to kitchens running moderate covers — think hotels with smaller food operations, cafés producing consistent baked goods, contract caterers working in tight spaces, or pubs moving from a purely fried or grilled menu into more structured cooking. The oven handles the kind of varied, back-to-back cooking that these environments demand. ClimaControl technology allows precise management of humidity alongside temperature, which matters when you're moving between bread, proteins, and pastry across a single service.

For the team operating it day to day, the five-inch touchscreen makes the difference between a combi that gets used properly and one that gets used on one setting indefinitely. Practical advantages include:

• Up to 99 multi-stage programmes with up to six stages each — useful for standardising output across a team
• 40 factory presets covering common preparations, reducing training time for less experienced staff
• Core probe and Delta T cooking functions for consistent results on proteins without constant monitoring
• Automatic one-touch wash cycle, which reduces end-of-service cleaning time and keeps the oven maintained
• GN 1/1 compatibility throughout, so trays transfer directly between the oven and other stations without decanting

Before installation, it is worth confirming your available electrical supply and ventilation arrangement. Combi ovens generate steam during operation and require adequate extraction or a condensate hood — the exhaust cannot simply be left to vent into an enclosed space. Access and clearance around the unit should also be considered at the planning stage, particularly if the oven is going into a compact kitchen run. If your volume is higher or your menu demands simultaneous high-capacity cooking across multiple rack types, a larger ten-rack or full-size combi would give you more headroom.

This oven is a practical fit for small-to-mid-volume operations wanting reliable combi performance and programmable consistency in a compact format. It is not intended for very high-throughput kitchens where a larger unit would be more appropriate.
