Germany-based kitchenware manufacturer MKN has received IPX6 certification for its MKN FlexiCombi steamer.

The MKN FlexiCombi cooking appliance, which has an automatic cleaning system, has now been certified as providing an extra level of protection to electrical components, even when it is sprayed with large quantities of water.

“Anyone involved in food production has to pay special attention to the subject of cleanliness,” said MKN in a written statement. “Cleaning appliances in professional kitchens is an important aspect here. It needs to be carried out very fast and easily during the busy daily kitchen routine. Automatic cleaning programmes for cleaning cooking chambers provide considerable support, for example, in combi steamers.”
