MBM E46 MINIMA 600 Electric Stove with Oven

An electric stove that combines four quick-heating cast-iron plates with a multi-function oven in a single 600 mm unit. The plates convert electrical energy into heat through embedded elements; the oven circulates hot air with a fan and grill to bake, roast or grill evenly. Both systems are controlled independently, allowing the operator to start the oven while the plates reach temperature or to switch off one while the other continues cooking.

The sequence begins by selecting the desired plate or oven function with the heat-resistant knobs. A warning light confirms each plate is active. The oven thermostat is set between 0 and 250 °C; internal lighting lets the operator monitor progress without opening the door. The cast-iron plates heat rapidly and maintain temperature, while the oven's double-glazed door retains heat and reduces external surface temperature. When cooking is complete, the plates and oven are switched off, and the unit is left to cool before cleaning.

The external structure and worktop are stainless steel, chosen for durability and ease of cleaning in a professional kitchen. Side panels are profiled to cover fitting edges and align seamlessly when multiple units are joined. The oven interior is also stainless steel, with a grill element and adjustable shelves. Ergonomic knobs are positioned for easy access, and a stainless-steel chimney directs heat and steam away from the work area.

The 8.2 kW power rating indicates a three-phase 400 V supply is required, typical for commercial kitchens where high-demand appliances are grouped on dedicated circuits. The 600 mm width matches standard worktop depths, allowing the stove to fit alongside other equipment without overhang. At 29 kg, the unit is light enough to be moved by two people but stable enough to remain in place during use.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless-steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The cast-iron plates should be cleaned after cooling to prevent residue build-up. The oven interior and grill element are removable for thorough cleaning, and the double-glazed door can be wiped inside and out. The side panels' covered edges reduce dirt traps, making daily maintenance quicker.

The E46 MINIMA 600 is one of three models in the range, offering either two or four plates on top of the electric oven. It is categorised under electric stoves in the professional catering equipment catalogue.
