The FMC716 is the central model of the electromechanical FMC range, with 7 levels GN 1/1 compatible with 600×400 mm trays. It is aimed at professional kitchens whose production volume has outgrown a 5-level oven without yet justifying the 10-level model. The FMC716 offers the most favourable capacity-cost balance for high-throughput brasseries, company canteens of 80 to 120 covers and event caterers. Its 87 cm width is identical to the rest of the FMC range, which makes integration into an existing kitchen — or pairing with a second oven — straightforward.
Why choose the FMC716 in the electromechanical FMC range
The standard FMC range offers three capacities in the electromechanical version: 5, 7 and 10 levels. The FMC716 sits in the centre with a double advantage. Over the FMC516, it offers 2 extra levels — 30 to 40% more capacity — for a modest premium. The height difference is 16 cm (69 cm for the FMC516 vs 85 cm for the FMC716), which stays within the standard dimensions of a professional kitchen hood.
Against the FMC1016, the FMC716 costs less and is 20 cm shorter (85 cm vs 105 cm). If your production does not systematically need all 10 levels at full load, the FMC716 offers a better capacity-cost-footprint fit. The electromechanical controls guarantee immediate handling for teams with no prior digital training, with simplified long-term maintenance.
Which establishments and uses is the FMC716 for?
Brasseries and high-throughput lunch restaurants: 70 to 120 covers, a varied menu including roasts, steamed fish, vegetables and gratins cooked at once. The 7 levels handle several food families without rotating pans during service.
Collective catering — company canteens, schools, care homes: 80 to 150 meals with great dish variety. The 7 levels organise preparations by family — proteins, starches, vegetables — on coordinated cooking slots.
Event caterers and overnight production: 7 levels maximise productivity for long cooking or night preparations for next-day events. The 600×400 mm compatibility extends the range to catering pastry and meal trays.
Hotels and mixed restaurant/room-service kitchens: the regeneration mode brings pre-prepared dishes back to temperature without quality loss — ideal for breakfast buffets or staggered room service.

Frequently asked questions about 7-level combis
- What is the difference between a 5-level and a 7-level combi?
- The FMC716 takes 7 GN 1/1 pans or 7 × 600×400 mm trays at once, against 5 for the FMC516 — about 40% more capacity. The floor footprint is identical (87 cm wide). The height goes from 69 to 85 cm — check the free height under the hood before ordering.
- Can an electromechanical combi store cooking programmes?
- No. The FMC716 electromechanical controls have no programme memory. The setting (thermostat, timer, mode) is done manually for each cook. For recipe memory and standardised cooking, the FMCT touch-tablet models let you save full profiles and recall them with one touch.
- Is the FMC716 suitable for professional bakery and pastry?
- Yes. The 600×400 mm compatibility lets you use standard pastry trays on each of the 7 levels. The steam + convection combination suits bread baking (steam development, convection crust) and entremets needing controlled humidity. For intensive bread production, a dedicated bread oven remains more suitable.
- What is the difference between combi mode and convection mode?
- In pure convection, hot air circulates without humidity — ideal for roasts, poultry and crusted gratins. In combi mode, heat is combined with injected steam: the core of the pieces cooks evenly without drying out, and weight loss drops by 15 to 25% compared with a classic oven. It is the preferred mode for grilled meats, herb-crusted fish or roasted vegetables.
