The FMCT516 is the touch-tablet version of the full-size FMC516: 5 levels GN 1/1 + 600×400, 87 cm wide. It keeps the cavity and the four cooking modes of the standard combi, but replaces the electromechanical dials with a colour touch interface — visual recipe library, step-by-step guidance, programme memory and access levels. For kitchens whose value rests on the consistency of dishes and the ability to delegate, the FMCT516 brings the precision and standardisation of digital to a versatile full-size combi.
Why move to the touch tablet on a 5-level standard combi?
The FMC516 (electromechanical) and the FMCT516 (touch tablet) share the same cavity and the same cooking capabilities. The difference is in how the oven is operated:
Programme memory — recurring recipes are saved with their exact temperature, humidity and time, and recalled in one touch. No empirical dial-setting, no paper sheets.
Step-by-step guidance — multi-phase recipes (steam then combi then hold) are guided visually, reducing error risk for less experienced operators.
Delegation and training — the chef programmes, the brigade executes. Each cook gets the same result without mastering the dials, and onboarding a new recruit is faster.
The move to touch is justified as soon as several people use the oven, recipes must be standardised, or the kitchen is visible to customers (the modern interface reinforces the image).
Who is the FMCT516 for?
Chains and franchise restaurants deploying the same oven across several sites and wanting an identical finished product everywhere via saved programmes.
Open-kitchen gastronomic restaurants where the touch interface is part of the modern image and the brigade uses it visibly and smoothly.
4-star hotels with à la carte service and banquets: the touch tablet ensures consistency and allows delegation to evening or weekend teams.
Medium collective kitchens wanting digital HACCP rigour and standardised cooking across rotating teams.

Frequently asked questions about touch combis
- How many recipes can the FMCT516 store?
- Professional touch tablets generally store hundreds of recipes, organised by product family, each able to chain several cooking phases. Recipes can usually be exported via USB for backup before a software update. Contact us for the exact specifications of the version sold.
- Can the oven run if the tablet fails?
- Professional tablet combis generally have a degraded operating mode (basic settings) to ensure a minimal service until a technical intervention. For a critical oven, a preventive maintenance contract is recommended.
- What is the difference between the FMCT516 and the FMCT516W?
- The FMCT516W adds an integrated automatic wash system (the "W" = with wash). The oven runs an automatic cleaning cycle of the cavity, saving the daily manual cleaning time and guaranteeing consistent HACCP hygiene. If your cleaning protocol is demanding or your staff time is precious, the FMCT516W is worth the extra cost.
