COMBINATION OVEN/STEAMER INTRODUCTION The Combitherm combination oven/steamer is a multipurpose oven used for steaming, baking, roasting, thawing, reheating, and various other cooking functions. In the past, a variety of cooking processes required multiple pieces of equipment. Considering space limitations and rising personnel costs, the Combitherm combination oven/steamer offers multiple cooking functions with one piece of equipment, saving both space and labor cost.

PRESS THE CHEF FUNCTION KEY TO CONFIRM THE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY SETTING.
I M P O R TA N T S A F E T Y P R E C A U T I O N S NOTE: Automatic steam venting is a standard safety feature built into all Combitherm oven models. This feature vents all steam from the oven compartment IMMEDIATELY BEFORE COOKING TIME EXPIRES. This function is provided in all programmed and timed production when operating in any Steam, Combination, Convection, and Retherm cooking mode.
STEAM MODE STEAM ● LOW TEMPERATURE STEAM ● QUICK STEAM The Steam mode provides the operator with the ability to steam, poach, or blanch. This mode will automatically steam at the boiling point of water; quick-steam above the boiling point for faster cooking results; or low temperature steam, below the boiling point, for more delicate products such as pâté, mousse, seafood, or custard. PRESS THE ON/OFF POWER KEY TO THE ON POSITION. PRESS THE STEAM MODE KEY.
STEAM MODE C H E F O P E R AT I N G T I P S This mode will steam a full or partial load of a single product, or multiple products without transfer of flavors. When steaming multiple products, however, individual product cooking times must be taken into consideration. The non-pressurized atmosphere of the Combitherm also provides the ability to open the door during the steam mode in order to monitor products more closely throughout the steaming process.
C O M B I N AT I O N M O D E The Combination mode will prove to be the most versatile and widely used mode the Combitherm oven has to offer. It will produce the best possible results on the widest variety of products — all within the shortest period of time. The unique control function of this mode enables the operator to roast or bake with a combination of steam and convection heat.
COMBINATION MODE CHEF OPERATING TIPS Th e C o m b i n a t i o n m o d e i n j e c t s t h e o p t i m u m a m o u n t o f s t e a m automatically. There is no need to select moisture levels. Foods do not dry out. Flavors are retained with no transfer of flavors when mixing product loads. Due to the automatic steam adjustment, the door can be opened at any time during a cooking operation. Be certain to observe the safety war ning when opening the oven door.
CONVECTION MODE The Convection mode operates with hot circulated air within a temperature range of 86° to 482°F (30° to 250°C). For many applications, better results may be achieved with the Combination mode; therefore, the operator may want to consider using the Convection mode on a more limited basis. PRESS THE ON/OFF POWER KEY TO THE ON POSITION. PRESS THE CONVECTION MODE KEY. The last set values or oven control default setting for temperature will appear in the display.
CONVECTION MODE CHEF OPERATING TIPS T h e C o n v e c t i o n M o d e c a n b e u s e d t o ro a s t o r b a k e p ro d u c t s n e e d i n g v e r y s h o r t c o o k i n g t i m e s o r f o r h i g h m o i s t u re p ro d u c t s s u c h a s m u f f i n s, c a k e s , a n d c o o k i e s , o r f o r b ro w n i n g t h e s u r f a c e o f t h e p ro d u c t . The Convection mode works best with foods containing little moisture or for very moist food which require a dryer finished product.
RETHERM MODE The Retherm mode can be used to rethermalize (regenerate) portioned food on plates, trays, or platters within a short period of time. Steam is automatically injected into the oven compartment as required. Items are brought up to proper serving temperatures without dry edges or condensate forming on the plates. PRESS THE ON/OFF POWER KEY TO THE ON POSITION. PRESS THE RETHERM MODE KEY. The last set values or the default settings will appear in the display.
RETHERM MODE CHEF OPERATING TIPS Since plated meals consist of dissimilar products, there are several important factors to consider in order to produce the finest results. Product density (compactness), thickness, quantity of product on each plate, and quantity of plates all relate to the length of time necessary to reheat. Again, experience is the best method to determine reheating time.
C O R E T E M P E R AT U R E P R O B E M O D E A s a n a l t e r n a t i v e t o t i m e r o p e r a t i o n , t h e C o r e Te m p e r a t u r e P r o b e m o d e c a n be used in conjunction with any program mode to cook by sensing internal product temperature. For a more accurate inter nal temperature, a specialized Combither m product probe senses temperature from four strategic points and displays a temperature average. PRESS THE ON/OFF POWER KEY TO THE ON POSITION. INSERT THE PRODUCT PROBE.
DELTA-T CORE TEMPERATURE COOKING This special program function cooks by internal product temperature with the use of the probe. Unlike the standard core temperature mode, however, the Delta-T oven temperature automatically increases in direct proportion to the internal temperature of the product. The Delta-T mode cooks with convection heat but provides a more gentle method of cooking. Browning occurs toward the end of the cooking cycle. PRESS THE ON/OFF POWER KEY TO THE ON POSITION.
AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS CHEF FUNCTION KEY There are several auxiliary functions available through the use of the Chef Function Key. With the exception of the ability to add additional moisture to the oven compartment, that can only be used during the convection mode, all additional functions can be engaged at any time during any cooking mode. Chef Functions can also be programmed into a cooking procedure in oven models that include the deluxe programmable feature.
AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS CHEF FUNCTION KEY GOLD-N-BROWN The browning feature is an automatic function designed to regulate humidity for additional color to products as needed.

Cleaning and Maintenance Preventive Maintenance In addition to the routine cleaning and maintenance procedures, there are several additional steps to be taken for both sanitation purposes and to keep the oven running at top operating efficiency. These additional safeguards will help prevent inconvenient down time and costly repairs. ● D O N O T D I S P O S E O F G R E A S E , FAT, O R S O L I D WA S T E D O W N T H E O V E N D R A I N .
Cleaning and Maintenance P R O T E C T I N G S TA I N L E S S S T E E L S U R FA C E S It is important to guard against corrosion in the care of stainless steel surfaces. Harsh, corrosive, or inappropriate chemicals can completely destroy the protective surface layer of stainless steel. Abrasive pads, steel wool, or metal implements will abrade surfaces causing damage to this protective coating and will eventually result in areas of corrosion.
