Rational iCombi Classic 10-1/1 Gas Combination Oven

The Rational iCombi Classic is a gas-fired combination oven that delivers steam, convection and combined cooking modes within a single unit. This ten-grid, full-size GN configuration sits in the mid-to-large range of the iCombi Classic platform and is built for kitchens that need to produce consistent results across a wide range of dishes, service after service. It is available for natural gas or LPG supply — the gas type must be confirmed at the point of order, as the correct jet configuration needs to be in place from the outset.

In busy service conditions the iCombi Classic performs reliably across all ten levels simultaneously. The multi-fan heat distribution system maintains even cooking throughout the chamber, which matters when a full load needs every shelf to behave the same way. The ClimaPlus humidity management system allows moisture levels to be adjusted incrementally, giving chefs meaningful control over the cooking environment rather than locking them into fixed presets. Recovery between consecutive loads is consistent, which is important when covers are turning around quickly and there is no room for delay.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages worth highlighting are:

• Up to 100 programmable cooking steps, supporting consistency across different shifts and skill levels
• Multi-step programme sequencing for dishes that move through distinct cooking phases
• Dial-and-display interface with clear symbols, reducing training time and the risk of user error during service
• Automatic cleaning using phosphate-free tablet chemistry with integrated scale prevention
• High-intensity LED chamber lighting for visual monitoring without opening the door mid-cook

A gas combi oven of this size requires a correctly rated gas supply connection, a suitable extraction canopy or ventilation provision, and a floor drain for condensate and cleaning discharge. The unit is substantial in weight, so floor loading and positioning should be assessed before installation rather than after delivery. It is typically installed on a purpose-built stand or stacking frame and must be commissioned by a Gas Safe registered engineer. LPG sites should flag this clearly at the time of enquiry.

This model is well suited to hotels, contract catering operations, hospital and healthcare kitchens, staff restaurants and busy restaurant kitchens where throughput and menu consistency are the priority. Kitchens with lighter or more variable demand may find a smaller-capacity model a more practical and economical fit, while very high-volume central production facilities may benefit from a larger-grid configuration.

A combination oven at this level is a meaningful investment, and whether it is the right choice depends on your gas supply, extraction setup and how your kitchen actually operates day to day.
