Installation, Operation, and Care of ELECTRIC COMBI, CONVECTION & STEAM OVENS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL The Electric Combi, Convection & Steam Ovens are single compartment ovens that provide convection heating and/or steaming in the cooking chamber. Humidification can be provided by the internal steam generator or by water injection (water vaporizes on contact with the hot oven interior).
LEGS OR CASTERS WARNING: THE OVEN MUST BE BLOCKED AND STABLE BEFORE INSTALLING LEGS OR CASTERS. Raise up and block the oven a minimum of 10" from the floor. Threaded holes are provided at the four corners underneath the oven; screw the threaded stud of the four legs or optional casters into the threaded holes.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS WARNING: PLUMBING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE SANITARY, SAFETY AND PLUMBING CODES. Water Requirements Proper water quality can improve the taste of the food prepared in the steamer, reduce liming in the steam generator and extend equipment life. Local water conditions vary from one location to another.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY FROM THE OVEN AND FOLLOW LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES. The wiring diagram is located on the inside surface of the right side panel as you face the oven. Use copper wire rated for at least 90 C for the connection.
OPERATION WARNING: THE OVEN AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE OVEN. THE COOKING COMPARTMENT CONTAINS LIVE STEAM. STAY CLEAR WHEN OPENING DOOR. DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING The oven door is equipped with an electrically powered lock. The oven is delivered with the door latched and slightly open (Fig.
LOADING THE OVEN Open the door. Place the product to be cooked in suitable containers and slide into the racks or place the containers securely on shelves in the oven. When loading a 6 or 10 level oven with the landing table (Fig.
UNLOADING THE OVEN Allow the door to be 'slightly-opened' for a few seconds to allow hot air and steam to escape. Stand behind the door while opening. When unloading a 6 or 10 level oven, move the landing table so the clamp locks the landing table to the front of the oven (or use your body to hold the landing table against the oven).

— After an initial power-up sequence, the control panel indicator lights and the light inside the oven are lit. The actual oven temperature is shown in the Temperature display, – h – – min is in the Time display, and – – is in the Program Number display. The control will now accept commands.
PROBE The Probe Temperature defines the final temperature of the product for any cooking phase. The cooking cycle stops when the product temperature reaches the probe temperature setting. Total Cooking Time is not known or entered when using the probe. COOKING WITH THE PROBE There are two ways to control the oven temperature when using the Probe .

BAKING (Convection Baking – H Convection Baking involves baking, browning, roasting, etc. without adding steam or moisture to the process. Hot air is fan-circulated to maintain even temperatures throughout the oven. Preheating the oven before loading the product is recommended. Automatic Convection Baking can be set up so the buzzer sounds when the Cooking Time has elapsed or when the product's internal temperature has reached the Probe Temperature set point.

STEAMING (Steam Mode only) Steam cooking is used for stewing, poaching, and gentle cooking of products cooked in water. Steam flows without pressure into the oven. The fan circulates the steam to all parts of the oven. Allow the steam generator to preheat for 4 - 5 minutes if starting from cold. Also, it is recommended that you preheat the oven using the Convection Baking (H Automatic Steaming can be set up so the buzzer sounds when the Cooking Time has elapsed or when the product's internal temperature has reached the Probe Temperature set point.

COMBI APPLICATIONS All Applications are suggested only — prove your own recipes and temperature / time settings. Combi applications typically begin with a Steam Mode phase which automatically preheats the steam generator in readiness for a subsequent Combi Mode phase. Some applications contain a H or Convection Mode phase.
COOK AND HOLD Cook and Hold is set up as a two-phase cooking process. The first phase is programmed similar to any other Convection, Steam, or Combi operation by selecting: 1) the mode 2) the finish cooking parameter (cooking time or probe temperature, with its value) and 3) the oven control parameter (oven temperature or , with its value).
COOK AND HOLD APPLICATIONS All Applications are suggested only — prove your own recipes and temperature / time settings. This two-stage process cooks roast beef or other products slowly and efficiently. During the first phase, the oven cooks at the Oven Temperature for a set amount of time or until a Probe Temperature is reached.
EXAMPLE PROGRAM This example shows how to program a three-phase process for cooking Roast Beef, 18 pounds per roast, and store it as program number 20. The second item in the table on page 21 provides most of the information: For Combi time, Phase 2, 15 minutes-per-pound times 18 pounds-per-roast equals 270 minutes (or 4 hours and 30 minutes).
