Rational iCombi Classic - 10 x 1/1 GN, Electric

About this oven

The Rational iCombi® Classic is the current-generation manual combi from Rational, and the direct successor to the CombiMaster® Plus. It's built for chefs who want to make the cooking decisions themselves, with an oven that's faster, more even and easier to live with than anything in the manual range before it. Steam, convection and combination cooking in a single cabinet: roast, bake, steam, grill, poach and regenerate without switching equipment or finding floor space for a second appliance.

What you get

• Three cooking modes - steam from 30–130°C, hot air from 30–300°C, combination from 30–300°C, used individually or in sequence
• ClimaPlus® - sensors measure cabinet humidity continuously and regulate it to the level you set, in 10% steps, with strong dehumidification for crisp crusts and crackling
• Redesigned cooking cabinet and fan system - the cabinet geometry and fan arrangement have been reworked for this generation to push heat into the food more evenly and quickly across a full load
• Core temperature probe - cook to a precise internal finish instead of to the clock
• Recipe storage - up to 100 programmes of up to 12 steps each, so a dish runs identically whoever's on the section, with USB for transferring programmes and downloading HACCP data
• Automatic cleaning with built-in scale protection - multiple cleaning programmes matched to how hard the oven has worked, using phosphate-free tabs, and able to run unsupervised overnight. The care system also protects the steam generator against limescale, so there's no manual descaling routine
• Stainless steel throughout, with a seamless cabinet and rounded corners for fast wipe-downs at the end of service

How it compares to the CMP

The CombiMaster Plus is a proven, keenly priced manual combi, but the iCombi Classic moves things on in the areas that matter day to day: humidity set in precise 10% steps rather than five stages, programmes of up to 12 steps instead of six, a modern colour interface, and fully automatic cleaning with integrated scale protection instead of relying on a water treatment unit. It's also a much newer platform, and Rational guarantees service parts availability for ten years on listed parts, which makes it a sound long-term buy on the refurbished market.

Honest about what it isn't

The iCombi Classic has no intelligent cooking paths and won't decide a cooking profile for you the way an iCombi Pro or SelfCookingCenter will. That's by design. If you want the oven to manage the process automatically, the iCombi Pro is the step up. If you want full control with modern performance and minimal cleaning effort, the Classic is the better fit.

Refurbished properly, not just cleaned up

Every unit we sell is stripped, inspected and rebuilt by Rational-trained engineers, including our own 57-point inspection, deep clean, full descale and component-by-component testing. Stainless steel construction and German engineering mean these units are built to run for well over a decade; our job is to make sure yours starts that clock again from day one.
