Description
The ConvectMax YXD-8AE is a heavy-duty bench-top convection oven that uses press-button steam injection and twin reversing fans to bake, roast and reheat evenly across one stainless chamber, built for cafés, bakeries, bistros and small production kitchens. It holds four 600×400mm trays on 80mm spacing, draws 6.4kW on a single-phase 240V supply and runs a 50–300°C range with a 120-minute timer and bell. A double toughened-glass door, 360°C hi-limiter and fully insulated body make it a robust step up from a domestic oven without committing to a full-size combi.
Why operators choose the YXD-8AE
-
Press-button steam injection — adds humidity on demand for crustier bread, moister roasts and better reheating from one control.
-
Twin reversing fans — alternating airflow drives even bakes tray to tray, reducing hot spots across the chamber.
-
4 trays at 600×400mm on 80mm spacing — standard bakery-tray sizing slots straight into existing prep workflows with clearance for trayed bakes.
-
50–300°C range with 120-minute timer and bell — covers low-temperature holding through to high-heat roasting with timed, repeatable results.
-
360°C hi-limiter and double toughened front glass — safe over-temperature cut-out plus a heat-isolating door for a clear view of the bake.
-
Heavy-duty stainless construction with steel baffle — wipe-down hygiene, rounded cavity corners for easy cleaning and even heat distribution.
-
Fully insulated on five sides with chamber light — lower heat loss into the kitchen and a clear view of cooking progress.
-
Compact 834mm-wide footprint — fits bench runs and tight lines where a full-size oven will not.

Venue suitability
The YXD-8AE suits cafés, bakeries, bistros, sandwich bars and small production kitchens that need even baking and steam without the footprint of a full-size combi — the twin reversing fans and press-button steam handle bread, pastries and roasts, while the 834mm-wide body fits compact bench runs. It is a strong choice for venues stepping up from a domestic oven and for menus built around baked and reheated items. It is less suited to high-volume production needing 10- or 20-tray throughput, or to sites without a hard-wired single-phase circuit.

Installation & delivery
The YXD-8AE draws 6.4kW at 240V and 27A, so it must be hard-wired by a licensed electrician — it is not a plug-in unit. Allow clearance around the chamber for airflow and servicing. Dispatched Australia-wide from our Sydney HQ and partner warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Backed by a 1 Year Parts and Labour warranty.
Frequently asked questions
What power supply does the ConvectMax YXD-8AE need?
It draws 6.4kW at 240V and 27A, so it must be hard-wired by a licensed electrician rather than plugged into a standard outlet. It is a single-phase unit.
How many trays does the YXD-8AE hold?
It takes four 600×400mm trays spaced 80mm apart, and aluminium baking trays are included. The internal chamber measures 700 × 460 × 360mm.
What temperature range does it reach?
The oven runs from 50°C to 300°C with a 120-minute timer and bell, plus a 360°C hi-limiter for over-temperature safety cut-out. That covers low-temperature holding through to high-heat roasting.
What does the press-button steam do?
It injects humidity into the chamber on demand, helping produce crustier bread, moister roasts and better reheating. Twin reversing fans then drive even airflow tray to tray. For more on getting the most from a bench-top oven, see this bench-top oven efficiency guide.
What are the dimensions and weight?
External dimensions are 834mm wide, 765mm deep and 572mm high, and the unit weighs 78kg. Packed for transit it measures 950 × 990 × 750mm at 90kg.
How do I clean and maintain the YXD-8AE?
Wipe down the stainless chamber after service — the rounded cavity corners make this quick — and keep fans and seals clear for even baking. Our commercial oven cleaning guide covers a full routine.
What warranty does it carry?
The YXD-8AE is covered by a 1 Year Parts and Labour warranty and is supplied as a new unit.
