Eglfing, Germany - This spring, the Welbilt brand launched the new Convotherm mini, the most compact combi oven in the Convotherm family. The new combi oven is a true all-rounder with great performance versatility for many creative ideas in the professional kitchen. With a width of just 51.5 cm, the Convotherm mini offers a wide range of cooking and baking options in a small space. The mini easily replaces expensive kitchen equipment such as deep fryers, microwaves, compact grills, toasters or ovens. Durable quality, low water and energy consumption, and cloud-based networking make the Convotherm mini an appliance of the future.

Small and compact for all kitchens

The Convotherm mini scores with modern technology, innovative technologies and functions and - like its larger Convotherm siblings - takes into account the current requirements of the catering industry:

• Simple and intuitive operation: The 7'' TFT HiRes glass touch display with scroll function is as easy to use as a smartphone.
• Automatic cooking with Press&Go for precise results and process reliability, making it ideal for businesses with frequently changing staff. Around 400 cooking profiles can be selected at the touch of a button.
• Keeping track with connectivity: Using KitchenConnect®, the smart cloud-based networking solution from Welbilt, data can be centrally managed, analyzed, evaluated or even rescheduled, and menu management can be controlled in real time.
• Variety of variants: With three different sizes - 6.06, 6.10 and 10.10 - and over ten variants - such as the mini mobile for beer gardens, food trucks or outdoor events - the Convotherm mini opens up maximum possibilities for every type of kitchen and operation.
• Stackable: The Convotherm mini is easily stackable. With the stacking kit, two minis can be used on top of each other. This creates more capacity and flexibility at peak times.
• Uncompromising hygiene: The fully automatic ConvoClean cleaning program ensures effortless cleanliness. In addition, the hygienic handles made of antibacterial and antimicrobial plastic provide an extra measure of safety. Convenient for users is the detergent drawer, in which ConvoCare rinse aid and ConvoClean detergent can be stored to save space.

Performance diversity and optimized work with the Convotherm function management systems

Speed, quality and flexibility - that's what guests expect from any type of kitchen. Regardless of whether it's a small café, fine dining, delivery service or company catering, the Convotherm mini with its 4 function management systems helps to ensure top performance and quality at all times: 

• Climate Management: with its particularly effective steam saturation, the Convotherm mini guarantees that every cooking and baking product receives the right amount of moisture. For crispy crusts, the Crisp&Tasty function with precisely circulating hot air and dehumidification ensures the best results.
• Quality Management: Perfect food is made possible by smart sensor technology, particularly well thought-out air guidance, and an intelligent, individually program-controlled interplay of humidity, hot air, and time by means of AirFlow Management. The three-stage Bake-Pro baking function also ensures a consistent cooking chamber climate for all baked products.
• Production Management: Even when things get busy, Press&Go provides relief in the stressful daily kitchen routine. Perfectly coordinated functions ensure that operation of the Convotherm mini always remains simple and clear, so that you can work efficiently, purposefully, and stress-free.
• Cleaning Management: Perfect cleanliness is indispensable in the kitchen. That's why the Convotherm mini has a fully automatic and simple, safe as well as environmentally friendly cleaning system that is even approved for unattended operation. The innovative HygeniCare package also provides an additional hygiene plus in the kitchen.

"The new Convotherm mini has been specially designed to meet today's challenges of small kitchens. It was important to us that the compact all-rounder has the same innovative features as its larger Convotherm siblings maxx pro and maxx. Absolute connectivity and the possibility of cloud-based remote access make the Convotherm mini a highly innovative combi steam oven that optimally meets the high demands of today's kitchens and is also forward-looking in terms of resource conservation and productivity," explains Arndt Manter, Director Product Management at Welbilt for Convotherm.
