ConvectMax Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Convection Oven W/ Press Button Steam YXD-8AE

The ConvectMax YXD-8AE is a heavy-duty bench-top convection oven that pairs press-button steam injection with twin reversing fans to bake, roast and reheat evenly across four 600×400 mm trays, built for cafes, bakeries, bistros and small production kitchens. It draws 6.4 kW on a single-phase 240V supply and runs a 50–300°C range with a 120-minute timer and bell; because it is hard-wired at 27A, it steps above the plug-in models for higher baking output.

Why operators choose the YXD-8AE

• Press-button steam injection — adds humidity on demand for crustier bread, moister roasts and better reheating from one control
• Twin reversing fans — alternating airflow bakes evenly tray to tray, reducing hot spots across the chamber
• Four 600×400 mm trays on 80 mm spacing — bakery-standard sizing with aluminium trays included
• 6.4 kW hard-wired power — higher output than the plug-in models for busier baking lines
• 50–300°C range with 120-minute timer and bell — low-temperature holding through to high-heat roasting, timed and repeatable
• 360°C hi-limiter and double toughened-glass door — over-temperature safety cut-out plus a heat-isolating door with a clear view
• Steel baffle and nickel-coated pan supports — even heat distribution, wipe-down hygiene and rounded cavity corners for easy cleaning
• Fully insulated on five sides with chamber light — lower heat loss into the kitchen and a lit view of the bake

Specifications

Venue suitability

The YXD-8AE suits cafes, bakeries, bistros, sandwich bars and small production kitchens that need even baking and steam without the footprint of a full-size combi — the twin reversing fans and press-button steam handle bread, pastries and roasts, while the 834 mm-wide body fits compact bench runs. It is a strong choice for venues stepping up from a domestic oven and for menus built around baked and reheated items. It is less suited to high-volume production needing 10- or 20-tray throughput, or to sites without a hard-wired single-phase circuit.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does the YXD-8AE plug in or need hard-wiring? A: It draws 6.4 kW at 240V and 27A, so it must be hard-wired by a licensed electrician rather than plugged into a standard outlet. It is a single-phase unit.

Q: How many trays does the YXD-8AE hold? A: Four 600×400 mm trays spaced 80 mm apart, with aluminium trays included; the internal chamber measures 700 × 460 × 360 mm.

Q: What temperature range does it reach? A: 50°C to 300°C with a 120-minute timer and bell, plus a 360°C hi-limiter for over-temperature safety cut-out.

Q: What does the press-button steam do? A: It injects humidity into the chamber on demand for crustier bread, moister roasts and better reheating; twin reversing fans then drive even airflow tray to tray.

Q: What are the dimensions and weight? A: External dimensions are 834 × 765 × 572 mm with a net weight of 78 kg; packed for transit it measures 950 × 990 × 750 mm at 90 kg.

Q: What warranty does the YXD-8AE carry? A: A 1-year parts & labour warranty, supplied as a new unit.
