Operation
Combioptima mode
CombiOptima allows you to set an oven temperature and
add a specific percentage of humidity. Many products
contain a large amount of water, increasing the humid-
ity level during cooking. In the CombiOptima mode the
oven automatically regulates the humidity to maintain the
desired level.
Tips for setting the humidity level
• To make gravy when braising meat, apply 70 to 80%
humidity at 300-325°F (145-65°C).
• For poaching fish, poultry and crispy vegetables, ap-
ply 70 to 95% humidity at 150-250°F (70-120°C).
• For short cook times and products, such as herb-
marinated cuts of meat and fresh vegetables, use
70% humidity at 375°F (190°C ).
