What is a Combi Oven?

A combi oven, short for combination oven, is a professional cooking appliance that combines three distinct cooking modes in a single cabinet: convection (dry, circulating heat), steam (injected or generated moisture), and a combination of both. A combi oven can function as a convection oven, steamer, proofer, smoker, low-temperature overnight roaster, and regeneration oven, and is used for roasting, braising, steaming vegetables and seafood, baking bread and pastry, proofing dough, and cooking proteins.

Retigo Vision Combi Ovens: The Complete Line

Retigo organizes its combi oven range under the Vision family. Every Vision model delivers the core combi-cooking capability, convection, steam, and combination modes. Still, the two primary lines, Blue Vision and Orange Vision, differ in their feature depth, control systems, and target kitchen profile.

Blue Vision Combi Ovens: Premium Smart Cooking

Blue Vision is Retigo's premium combi oven line, designed for high-output professional kitchens that require an intelligent assistant to streamline cooking applications. Retigo Blue Vision combi oven line features:

• Vision Perfect Cooking, an automated cooking intelligence that monitors and adjusts temperature, steam level, fan speed, and cook time to produce consistent results across every cycle.
• 8" MyVision touchscreen control panel, an intuitive interface for programming, editing, and executing cook cycles, and customizing the interface for your menu
• Easy Cooking guidance, a cooking guide to facilitate cooking even for less experienced chefs
• 6-point core temperature probe monitoring and tracking internal product temperature in real time, and automatically moving to the next cooking phases when target temperatures are reached
• High recipe storage capacity for 1000 programs with 20 steps, quickly reach customized cooking profiles, and use them instantly.
• Multitask cooking with different programs simultaneously for different GN pan positions, dramatically improving throughput during high-volume service.
• Multi-speed fan control up to 7 levels further expands versatility, enabling gentle fan settings for delicate proteins and pastries, as well as high-speed modes for rapid browning and crust development.

Orange Vision Combi Ovens: Streamlined Core Performance

Retigo Orange Vision is the core combi-oven line designed to provide convection, steam, and combination cooking for the operators who want reliability and versatility without the full premium feature set of the Blue Vision line. But the Orange Vision units still offer an easy-to-use design with:

• Touch panel controls for quicker operation
• Continuous cooking time option to save you time, especially during rush time
• Automatic start to schedule a start time for your recipes

Retigo Orange Vision combi ovens are ideal for kitchens running straightforward menus, institutional operations prioritizing ease of use, or operators entering the combi oven category for the first time.

Sizes and Capacities: 6, 10, and 20 Pan Models

Retigo Vision combi ovens are available in three primary GN pan capacities, each available in countertop and floor-standing configurations:

• 6-Pan Models: Retigo O623, O611 (Orange Series), and B623, B621, and B0611 (Blue Vision Series) are compact countertop units and accommodate 6 pans. Therefore, they are suitable for smaller kitchens, à la carte restaurants, cafés, and operations with limited floor space. A 6-pan combi oven accepts six full-size GN 1/1 pans or half-size, depending on the model.
• 10-Pan Models: Retigo O1011, O1021 (Orange Series), and B1011 and B1021 (Blue Vision Series) are efficient options for producing 300-500 meals. These units can accommodate 10 GN 2/1 (650x530 mm) or GN1/1 (530x325 mm) pans, which are suitable for most full-service restaurants, hotel kitchens, school cafeterias, and catering operations.
• 12 and 20-Pan Models: Retigo O1221, O1021 (Orange Series), and B1221 (Blue Vision Series) hold 12 pans, and Retigo O2011, O2021 (Orange Series), and B2011 and B2021 (Blue Vision Series) offer 20-pan capacity, making them ideal for central production kitchens, large institutional foodservice, flight-kitchen, and banquet operations with up to 900 meals per unit.

When selecting your Retigo combi oven, consider peak covers per service, menu diversity, and whether the oven will serve as a primary or supplemental cooking asset. Chef's Deal's team can help match the right pan capacity to your operation's volume and workflow.

Tower and Stacked Configurations

Retigo's tower and stacked solutions allow operators to double the output without increasing the floor footprint. A tower configuration combines two Vision combi ovens, typically a 6-pan and a 10-pan, or two 10-pan units, vertically on the same floor position, allowing kitchens with limited space to turn vertical space into production areas.

Banquet Systems

Retigo's banquet trolleys and thermal covers enable you to store and warm pre-plated meals for banquet events, conference catering, and large-scale institutional service. Retigo banquet systems are available in 65- and 80-mm-spaced models to hold 29 to 59 plates.

Boiler vs. Boilerless: Which Steam System is Right for You?

Boiler / Steam Generator Models produce steam in a dedicated internal boiler, which then feeds pressurized steam directly into the cooking cavity. The result is consistent, high-quality steam at precise humidity levels for precision pastry work and delicate fish cookery. Boiler models require a connected water supply and a softened or treated water source, as scale accumulation in the boiler is the primary concern for maintaining oven performance and preventing odor.

Boilerless / Advanced Direct System (ADS) Models generate steam by injecting water directly onto the oven's heating element or into the cooking cavity, creating steam on demand without a separate boiler chamber. Retigo's boilerless technology, the Advanced Direct System, reduces water consumption, simplifies maintenance (no boiler descaling cycle), and lowers the unit's overall weight and complexity.

Smart Cooking and Controls

Retigo combi ovens stand out in the market with their cutting-edge cooking and connectivity technologies, including Vision Perfect, MyVision controls, automatic cleaning systems, and CombiOnline systems.

Vision Perfect Cooking and MyVision Controls

Retigo's intelligent cooking platform centers on two integrated technologies. Vision Perfect Cooking continuously monitors humidity, temperature, and airflow, and dynamically adjusts cooking-condition parameters to maintain the programmed cook profile, automatically compensating for load variations and cavity conditions. This means a full 10-pan load of chicken breasts and a half-loaded tray of fish fillets can both achieve the correct result without manual intervention between loads.

The MyVision touchscreen facilitates the operation for the operator with an intuitive graphical control panel. Operators program and name cook cycles, assign them to menu categories, set multi-phase cooking sequences, and monitor progress in real time. The multi-point core temperature probe connects directly to the oven's control logic, enabling product-temperature-driven cooking; the oven transitions phases or ends the cook cycle based on the food's internal temperature, not just elapsed time. Multi-speed fan control adjusts airflow velocity by program, protecting delicate items from surface dehydration while enabling aggressive browning when required.

Automatic Cleaning System

Retigo Vision combi ovens include a built-in automatic cleaning system that sanitizes the cavity at the end of service without manual scrubbing. The operator selects a cleaning program (basic to extra-strong modes), loads the appropriate Retigo cleaning tablet or liquid agent into the dispenser, and initiates the cycle. The oven performs the cleaning cycle using water, heat, and detergent, then automatically rinses and drains.

CombiOnline Connectivity

CombiOnline is Retigo's networked connectivity platform that allows you to connect an unlimited number of combi ovens to manage recipes, settings, operational statistics (water and energy consumption), and software updates, and to monitor cooking status, operational logs, and data security.

Efficiency and Sustainability

Retigo Vision combi ovens are engineered for efficient economic operation with:

• A built-in heat exchanger captures and recycles thermal energy from exhaust steam, reducing the energy required to maintain cooking temperatures and lowering utility consumption per cycle.
• Thick thermo-insulation throughout the oven cavity minimizes heat transfer to the kitchen environment, improving cooking efficiency and reducing HVAC load.
• The triple-glazed door provides an additional thermal barrier, keeping door surface temperatures low for safety while preventing heat loss from the cavity.

Retigo Vision models such as the Retigo B1011i and B621i feature ENERGY STAR certification and offer lower energy consumption.

Accessories, Water Treatment, and Installation

• Accessories: Retigo Vision combi ovens are compatible with a range of GN-standard accessories: full-size GN 1/1 and GN 2/1 pans, perforated and solid grids, chicken and fish grids, baking sheets, roasting pans, and specialized holders for kebabs or whole poultry.
• Water Treatment: Water quality affects the long-term performance of any combi steam oven, particularly boiler-equipped models. Hard water accelerates scale accumulation in steam systems and on cavity surfaces, increasing maintenance frequency and shortening component service life. Retigo recommends water filtration and treatment, such as BWT filtration units and scale-reduction cartridges, installed on the incoming water line before the water connects to the oven.
• Installation Requirements: A typical Retigo Vision combi oven installation requires: a dedicated electrical supply (3-phase for most models; verify amperage per model spec sheet), a cold water supply line with shut-off valve, a floor drain for condensate and cleaning discharge, and adequate overhead clearance for a ventilation hood or condensate canopy. Most jurisdictions require an exhaust hood or a condensate canopy for combi ovens. A licensed plumber and electrician should perform final utility connections. Chef's Deal can assist with specification review and connect you with qualified installation resources.

Choosing the Right Retigo Combi Oven

• Choose Blue Vision for high-volume complexity and smart automation;
• Choose Orange Vision for simple, budget-friendly core performance.
• Choose 6-pan for small cafés/à la carte, 10-pan for standard restaurants/hotels, and 20-pan for large institutions/banquets.
• Choose Boiler for heavy-steam/pastry precision (requires treated water) or choose Boilerless for lower maintenance and water usage.
• Choose Electric or Gas, whichever utility is cheaper or available in your kitchen.
• Choose countertop (6-pan) for tight spaces, Floor type (10/12/20-pan) for high traffic restaurants and banquet lines), Tower models (stacked units) to double output on a single footprint.
