Performance you can rely on

Behind the simple interface is a carefully engineered cooking environment.
Injection steam delivers fast, responsive humidity exactly when it’s needed, while controlled airflow maintains stability – even during busy service with frequent door openings.

CookTimeCorrection and BakeTimeCorrection automatically compensate for temperature changes, so quality is maintained without constant supervision.
The result is reliable performance you can trust, every day.

Cleaning made easy

Keeping the oven clean should never complicate your day.

Invoq Essence is equipped with CareCycle – a fully automatic, tablet-based cleaning system designed to be both effective and economical.

Choose between light, medium or intense programs. Tablets can be added safely even when the oven is warm, and an automatic rinse ensures safe operation if a cycle is interrupted.
Less downtime. Lower consumption. An oven that’s always ready for the next service.
