What to check when buying a used combi oven

When buying a used combi oven, match its tray capacity and tray dimensions to your menu and busiest service. Confirm which trays, stands and accessories are included, as replacements will add to the purchase cost.

Ask for a demonstration of the cooking functions you plan to use, including steam and combination modes where fitted. Inspect the cooking chamber, door glass, seals and hinges, and ask whether the cleaning system operates correctly.

Have your installer check the exact model’s power or gas supply, water treatment, drainage and ventilation requirements. Compare the full installed cost and available service history before choosing between similar ovens.
