Why this oven cleanersdetergent earns its place
These are Rational's own cleaning tabs for the iCombi Pro and iCombi Classic ranges, built specifically for the combi oven's automatic cleaning cycle rather than as a generic oven cleaner.
The Active Green formula is phosphate and phosphorus-free, and Rational's reformulation cuts the quantity of cleaner needed by up to 50% compared with the previous version, without giving up cleaning power or hygiene performance — useful both for running costs and for reducing the chemical load going down the drain.Beyond the standard full clean cycle, the tabs also support an ultra-fast interim clean, getting the oven cavity back into service in around 12 minutes.
That's the option for a kitchen mid-service that needs the oven usable again quickly rather than waiting through a full overnight cleaning programme — a genuinely useful option when covers keep coming and the oven can't sit offline.Each tab is highly concentrated, which is part of what drives the reduced quantity needed per cycle and keeps the cost-per-use down over 150 tabs. It's worth being precise about compatibility: these tabs are formulated for iCombi Pro and iCombi Classic ovens only, and are specifically not suitable for CombiMaster Plus or SelfCookingCenter models, so it's worth checking the oven model before ordering.As with most oven cleaning chemicals, hazardous goods delivery regulations classify this as non-returnable once dispatched, so it's worth confirming the oven model and pack size needed before placing the order rather than after.
COSHH: six habits of safe chemical use
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health — the routine every commercial kitchen and cleaning cupboard is expected to run.
SDS
Read the label and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet — the pictograms tell you what you are holding.
Who could be harmed, and how badly? Judge likelihood against severity before anyone opens the cap.
Eliminate or substitute first, engineer and organise next — PPE is the last line, never the first.
Keep the controls working: check ventilation, dosing equipment and storage stay as they should be.
Everyone who uses it knows the hazards, the correct dilution and the PPE — before the first shift, not after.
Products and processes change. Reassess when they do, and keep the record that proves it.
