Merrychef conneX 16 HP High Speed Cook Oven – 20A Ventless

Most speed ovens solve speed.
The conneX 16 HP solves scale within a single cavity.

If you already understand speed ovens but find that:

• 12" plates feel restrictive
• you are running multiple batches per order
• peak demand forces you to simplify the menu

then the limitation is not speed — it is load size.

The large cavity supports plates up to 405 × 405 mm (16")
and fits on a 700mm bench depth, allowing:

• larger serves per cook cycle
• family-size or share-style dishes
• batch-style cooking without queue build-up

This directly reduces the number of cooking cycles required per service hour,
which is where throughput is actually won.

• Microwave drives rapid internal heating
• Convection heat stabilises cavity temperature
• Tuned impingement delivers surface browning and crisping

This three-layer system allows the oven to cook up to 20× faster
than conventional methods while still producing colour, texture and repeatable results.

A built-in catalytic converter enables ventless operation by managing grease and odour,
subject to menu suitability and local requirements.

For many sites, this unlocks:

• front-of-house cooking
• kiosks and compact footprints
• lower build-out and compliance cost

The easyTouch 2.0 control system supports unlimited multi-stage cooking profiles,
with each profile offering up to six programmable stages.

Combined with USB and Wi-Fi / Ethernet connectivity, this allows:

• consistent output across shifts
• centralised menu updates
• reduced training dependency

At this point, the oven functions as a process controller, not just a heat source.

• Front-mounted air filter for daily cleaning
• Self-diagnostics to monitor key components
• Cool-to-touch exterior allowing zero side and rear clearance
• Stainless steel cavity with sealed rounded edges for hygiene

• High-volume cafés and QSRs with large plate formats
• Venues selling share plates or family-size items
• Operations hitting batch bottlenecks with smaller speed ovens
• Sites with 20A electrical supply wanting maximum single-oven output

• Sites limited to 10–15A power
• Menus based on small, single-serve items only
• Operations where prep, not cooking, is the main bottleneck

At a glance

• 20A ventless speed oven
• Large 16" plate capacity
• Up to 20× faster cooking
• Menu-driven, high-throughput output

Not better — different. The conneX 16 HP prioritises single-load size,
while e4/e5 HP focus on throughput density and GN-based workflows.

No. The higher power and tuned impingement maintain speed while allowing larger loads.

In many cases, yes — especially where large plates or batch output are required.
