Features

QR Code Cooking Automation

At the heart of the ICM is its innovative scan-to-heat system, designed for speed and accuracy in high-volume operations. A built-in scanner reads QR codes printed on ready meals, instantly triggering pre-set heating cycles with the correct time and power settings—eliminating manual input and reducing errors. Heating can start automatically upon door closure or through manual confirmation, ensuring meals are heated safely and consistently.

Beyond its automated functionality, the ICM offers flexible operation modes to suit different service environments: fully automated, assisted, or manual control. This versatility allows meals to be heated with or without QR codes, making it ideal for standardized, high-volume locations such as staff canteens, hospitals, and break rooms.

Memory Pad Configuration

The ICM features a memory pad configuration with up to 100 programmable slots, supporting single or multi-stage heating profiles. This allows sites to store customised settings for a wide range of ready meals, ensuring fast, consistent reheating with minimal input. Designed for convenience and durability, the system can automatically adjust cooking times for multiple portions, while its self-diagnostics display error codes for easy troubleshooting. Additional smart features include programmable reminders for filter cleaning, customisable beep tones, cycle counters for maintenance tracking, and full control over the oven lamp—making the ICM a versatile, user-friendly solution for busy self-service environments.

Even Heating

Inverter technology allows you to cook, reheat or defrost your food without creating cold spots or overcooking edges. This Inverter microwave delivers an accurate power level; when you ask for 60% power, the oven delivers 60% power for the entire duration of the cooking time chosen. This applies no matter what power level is selected giving you better, more even cooking results.
