FM Industrial Electric Convection Oven STG 72 M

A convection oven circulates hot air with a fan, spreading heat evenly across every shelf. The fan draws air from the chamber, passes it over heating elements and pushes it back through vents. This constant movement eliminates cold spots, so food cooks faster and more uniformly than in a static oven. Moisture control adds steam when needed, keeping roasts succulent and pastries crisp.

The STG 72 M is loaded through a front door. Trays slide onto wire racks that run the full depth of the chamber. The oven accepts seven full-size gastronorm 2/1 trays lengthwise or fourteen half-size 1/1 trays crosswise. Set the temperature with a rotary knob, choose continuous run or a countdown timer, and adjust humidity from dry to fully steamed. A manual steam release valve lets the operator vent excess moisture at any point. Dual-direction fan blades reverse periodically to prevent hot zones near the vents.

The cooking chamber is built from AISI 304 stainless steel, resisting corrosion and staining. Wire racks have anti-overheating guides that stop trays tilting or falling. The exterior is finished in brushed stainless steel with a reinforced base for stability.

Controls include a temperature dial marked 0–250 °C, a timer with a mechanical bell, a humidity slider from 0 to 100%, and a manual steam release lever. A pilot light shows when the heating elements are active.

An 18.65 kW power rating means the oven requires a dedicated 400 V three-phase circuit, typical of professional kitchens. The 147 kg weight indicates the unit is floor-standing and must be moved with a trolley or pallet jack. The footprint of 790 mm wide by 1220 mm deep fits standard worktop runs, leaving space for ventilation gaps at the sides and rear.

Cleaning involves removing the racks and wiping the chamber with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The stainless steel interior resists grease absorption and can be sanitised with steam. The fan blades and vents should be checked monthly for grease build-up to maintain airflow.

The STG 72 M is a single-chamber electric convection oven with no variants listed.

The oven is categorised under professional electric convection ovens in the FM Industrial catalogue.
