đĽ Combi ovens are among the hardest-working pieces of equipment in todayâs commercial kitchens â but too many operators wait until something breaks before taking maintenance seriously.
Preventive maintenance is no longer optional. Itâs a critical strategy for:
âď¸ Extending equipment lifespan
âď¸ Reducing costly downtime
âď¸ Improving kitchen efficiency
âď¸ Protecting food quality and consistency
âď¸ Avoiding expensive emergency repairs
Rama Kiverkis, Senior Manager of Technical Service at @rational_usa , shares expert insights on how operators can maximize performance and longevity through proactive maintenance, proper cleaning routines, staff training, and smart service planning.
The article also explores how evolving kitchen technology is helping foodservice operators simplify maintenance while improving consistency and operational efficiency.

Today for #InternationalWomensDay, we're celebrating the women shaping the future of the culinary industry.
Not just across the USâ but across the globe the women of RATIONAL are leading culinary demonstrations, organizing events, developing new features & initiatives.
Their knowledge, leadership, and passion drive the innovation in professional kitchens every day.
Happy International Women's Day to the chefs, service technicians, and all who continue to inspire the next generation.
Precision, built in.
From steaks to cakes, the iCombi Proâs 6-point core temperature probe monitors internal food temperature across multiple measuring points, giving iCookingSuite the feedback it needs to hit your target core temperature and deliver repeatable results. By contrast, conventional cooking without a probe often leans on time and visual cuesâyet color and appearance arenât reliable indicators of doneness. With iCombi Proâs monitoring and intelligence, the probe turns âbest guessâ into a standard you can repeat every single time. đĽŠđ #TheWOWEffect
