Rational releases Energy Star figures for the SelfCookingCenter
SelfCookingCenter energy saving figures back up coveted accreditation.
Rational, the leading combi oven manufacturer has been awarded the coveted Energy Star label. Now, Rational has released energy savings figures to support this accreditation.Rational SelfCookingCenters not only deliver outstanding cooking results, but also save resources and are sustainable, too. The SelfCookingCenter’s high standards of energy efficiency are what earned it the Energy Star accreditation.
Rational’s Energy Star certified combination ovens are on average 30% more efficient than standard equipment. This means that they have an estimated annual savings of £145 (gas models) and £408 (electric models), whilst saving roughly 7,121 kWh per year.
Rational is committed to looking at the whole life-cycle of catering equipment and develop energy-efficient cooking technologies that minimise the consumption of resources. The estimated lifetime savings of using an Energy Star certified Rational is £4,000 for an electric model, based on a 12-year life, actual savings will vary depending on use.
A Rational combi steamer can quickly pay for itself. The SelfCookingCenter 5 Senses cuts energy consumption by up to 20%, compared to previous models, and up to 70% compared to a traditional kitchen without a combi-steamer. It can roast, poach, bake, toast, braise and even pan fry fish and cook chips - all at the touch of a button and with consistently perfect results. This means it can replace 40 to 50% of standard appliances, reducing the kitchen footprint by at least 30%.
