The FMCT523 is the touch-tablet version of the compact GN 2/3 FMC523. On the same 60 cm footprint, it replaces the electromechanical controls with a modern touch interface with visual guidance and a recipe library. It is the most technologically advanced combi oven in the compact format — for professionals who need both the compactness of the GN 2/3 format, the reduced footprint of a 60 cm unit, and the precision and advanced features of a touch interface.
A touch tablet on a compact format: why this choice?
Pairing a touch tablet with a compact GN 2/3 format can seem paradoxical — the tablet is usually associated with high-end, large-format equipment. But for some establishments, this combination is exactly right:
The space constraint is real but culinary demands are high — a 12-seat gastronomic restaurant in an 8 m² kitchen cannot install an 87 cm combi, but its chef still wants precise, saved, easily delegated programmes.
The GN 2/3 format matches the kitchen, not a compromise — for pastry shops, luxury caterers and tasting restaurants, GN 2/3 trays are the natural working format, not a plan B.
The tablet for training and delegation — even on a small oven, the ability to programme, delegate and train is valuable as soon as several people use the equipment.
Who is the FMCT523 for?
Small-space gastronomic restaurants with an open kitchen and brigade: the touch interface is instructive, attractive and makes delegation easier — even in a compact format.
High-end artisan pastry shops that have standardised their production on digital recipes and work in GN 2/3 by nature: the FMCT523 is their precision oven.
Innovative restaurant concepts (omakase, fusion cuisine, immersive tables) whose kitchen is not a standard corridor but a designed space integrated into the customer experience.
Independent caterer-chefs producing for 10 to 30 covers from their own kitchen or a workshop space: the FMCT523 fits in a suitable domestic kitchen, with all the power of a professional combi.

Frequently asked questions about the FMCT523
- Does the FMCT523 produce as much steam as a standard 87 cm combi?
- The steam generator power is sized in proportion to the cavity. A 60 cm GN 2/3 oven has a smaller cavity — the generator therefore does not need to be as powerful to saturate it with steam. The steam cooking quality is comparable; the amount of steam produced is matched to the cavity volume.
- Can you switch to a basic mode manually if the tablet fails?
- Professional tablet combi ovens generally have a degraded operating mode if the touch interface fails. This mode ensures a minimal service until a technical intervention. Check the FMCT523 technical manual for the exact specifications.
- Is there a "W" (auto-wash) version of the FMCT523?
- The FMC/FMCT range offers "W" versions (with auto-wash) on the 5, 7 and 10-level GN 1/1 standard models. The compact GN 2/3 version (FMCT523) does not have a W version in the current range. For cleaning, the standard manual protocol applies.
