of our new generation of ADVANCE combi ovens. These ovens are designed to be the most technologically advanced range of combi ovens available on the market. ADVANCE ovens incorporate state of the art features in terms of technology and software and are easy to use thanks to their intuitive touch screen menu and their full range of applications for monitoring, maintenance, configuration and logging of cooking events.
As with Fagor's current range of ovens, the ADVANCE combi ovens will be available in three ranges: ADVANCE PLUS, ADVANCE and ADVANCE CONCEPT. Each of these ranges will be available in five sizes and in gas and electric options so will offer each customer a solution which is fully suited to their space and specific requirements.
The star of this new generation of ovens is without a doubt the ADVANCE PLUS range, targeting the most demanding professionals who require full-on functionality and the highest performance on the market. This range comes equipped with all the new functions exclusive to Fagor such as HA Control (which guarantees a constant, uniform temperature); Eco Steaming (generating independent steam to ensure perfect quality of cooking); EZ Sensor (the new temperature sensor which assures maximum accuracy in the cooking process); Fagor Touch (a system of glass-sealed touchscreens for easy cleaning and for protection from dents and scratches); Fagor Combi OS (a unique operating system with multiple cooking programmes for even cooking simultaneously in different trays) and Combi Clean (an automatic cooking chamber cleaning system).
The ADVANCE range has been designed for chefs who are looking for an affordable oven with advanced features and a high quality of cooking, efficiency and safety. The ADVANCE range guarantees the best value for money in ovens with steam generators. Its power and versatility go hand in hand with the functions: Eco Steaming, HA Control and the new temperature sensor EZ Sensor.
Lastly, the ADVANCE CONCEPT range is the best option for professionals looking for a simple and affordable oven which guarantees maximum power and strength. It can be used in convection, steam, mixed function and regeneration and includes the Cold Down function, humidifier and EZ Temperature Sensor. Like in the other ranges, its technical service support system makes it possible to check the correct functioning of all the parts, without having to dismantle any exterior panels.
All of the new generation of ovens have been given a make-over and all ADVANCE ovens feature enhanced ergonomics, better maneuverability and improved safety attributes such as a hygienic, weld-free cooking chamber to prevent dirt accumulating, a more ergonomic and robust handle and a new reinforced double-glazed door to minimize heat loss. Furthermore, the ADVANCE ovens have been manufactured entirely from austenitic stainless steel, with the interior made from AISI-304 stainless steel, which gives them a significant improvement in terms of resistance and strength. The 'footprint' has also been reduced by 20%, bringing greater productivity in less space. The top-of-the-range ADVANCE PLUS model also has a built-in USB port which enables software updates, the addition of new recipes and downloading of operational data for health and safety purposes.
Kepa Bedialauneta, General Manager of Fagor Industrial, explains that 'Fagor Industrial ovens have always [been] a favourite for catering professionals. The generation which we are presenting today is the result of the hard work of our R+D department to design the most advanced and versatile ovens on the market, designed to become an efficient help in the day-to-day work of all catering professionals, whatever their needs might be.'
The full range of ADVANCE combi ovens will be available in Australia in the New Year: further details and training will be provided by the Fagor Sales Managers very soon!
