General recommendations for steaming
STEAMING at 100°C is recommended for all kinds of hard vegetables, rice and pasta.
LOW-TEMPERATURE STEAMING at 70-80°C is recommended for the steaming of fish.
FORCED STEAMING at 120°C is an aggressive and very rapid process, which should be used
with care.
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO LET THE OVEN PRESTEAM FOR 8 MINUTES BEFORE LOADING IT.
THIS APPLIES TO THE C MODEL AS WELL AS to the K MODEL.
Exhaust
The exhaust is usually closed in all operating modes. It is always closed in the steaming mode.
When the control lamp is on, the exhaust is open.
If you wish to reduce the amount of humidity in the oven chamber – when you brown, for
instance – the exhaust should be open.
Fan speed
Set the FAN speed by pressing the fan key and turn the switch.
A fan speed between 20 and 50% is recommended for the baking of puff pastry, Danish
pastry, cakes and small products as well as in the Delta-T and Cook-and-Hold modes. You may
add 1 – 2 minutes’ preparation time for each ½ hour when low fan speed is used.
Fan speeds below 50% cannot be used at temperatures above 200°C.
A fan speed between 50 and 100% are recommended if you want a particularly juicy end
product and accept a longer cooking time.
Hours, date and setting of timer
Shows the exact time and date when the oven is off. For setting of clock and timer, see USER
MENU below.
Fully automatic cleaning system, CombiWash (optional extra)
The cleaning system should be used every day. You choose between levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 and
possibly additional detergent, depending on how soiled the oven chamber is. The last thing you
do before turning off the light in the evening is activating CombiWash. When CombiWash is
finished, the computer automatically switches to an energy-saving standby function.
Follow these steps to start CombiWash:
•
Cool down the oven chamber to 80°C.
•
Check the level of detergent and rinse aid.
•
Press PRG and turn switch until CombiWash appears in the display.
•
Press STEP to select cleaning level: 0 is 2 minutes’ flushing with water – 1 is light cleaning
and 4 is very thorough cleaning. Press ALARM for additional detergent.
•
Close oven door and press ON.
Steps 1 and 2 are used after steaming/roasting at low temperatures.
Steps 3 and 4 are used after roasting of meat / cooking at temperatures higher than 180°C.
We recommend that the oven is cleaned on a daily basis or after each production.
