ECOSMART® TECHNOLOGY

IntroductIon

The Alto-Shaam Combitherm combination

oven/steamer employs Ecosmart operating

efficiencies in the design and application
of all operating and programming
functions. Ecosmart operational

characteristics include the use of a water barrier

to close the oven compartment to the outside air.

While maintaining a non-pressurized atmosphere,

the primary purpose of the Ecosmart system is to

prevent the steam and heat generated within the oven

compartment from freely escaping to the outside.

PROTOUCH™ CONTROL

The Combitherm PROtouch control features a simple,

graphics-based control panel that commands all the oven
functions. Access your titled recipes. Manual cooking by
time and temperature also are easily accomplished.

Intuitive interface - The Alto-Shaam PROtouch offers

a simple interface that commands all of the Combitherm’s

cooking functions. As the name implies, it is fully operable

by touch.

The Ecosmart design displaces the air within the

cooking compartment and achieves a higher level
of steam saturation that offers quick-steaming at

temperatures above 212°F (100°C).

This guide is provided as an operational aid with

step-by-step instructions of the basic functions of

the Combitherm oven, along with the many other

additional features of the control.

Superior baking - The five-speed fan provides consistent
baking results. A moisture injection feature provides perfect
sheen and crust on breads and pastry items.

Multi-shelf timers - Track cooking time of different food

items in the same oven with multi-shelf timers. Time is

tracked in minutes and seconds.

On-board diagnostics - The PROtouch control includes
on-board diagnostic functionality with results displayed

right on the touch screen.

Graphic controls - The highly visual

graphic-based control with logical

procedures ensure that correct steps

are followed every time.

An excellent memory - Access an
unlimited number of programmed
titled recipes that you’ve customized.

Each recipe can have up to 10

sequential steps.

HACCP data access -

CT PROformance™ ovens include a
downloadable HACCP function.

Absolute Humidity Control -

provides 0-100% humidity levels
allowing more control over the ideal

cooking environment and product
finish [patent pending].

Powerful tool - The PROtouch control plays an important part in our continuous improvement process. New features and
abilities can be loaded to your oven as they become available. Simply call our Service Department for assistance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 or set probe
temperature is reached.

Automatic steam venting does not function
if the oven door is opened before time
expires or when the oven has been set to
continuous operation.

HOT STEAM CAUSES BURNS

NOTE: Use authorized Combitherm oven cleaner

only. Unauthorized cleaning agents may
discolor or harm interior surfaces of the
oven. Read and understand label and
material safety data sheet before using the
oven cleaner.

FOR OPERATOR SAFETY

NOTE AND OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

PREHEAT FEATURE

The oven should be preheated before most cooking

50°F (10°C) greater than the cook temperature in order
to recover from heat loss when the door is opened to add
food to the oven. For items that use the Steam mode, it
is necessary to use a preheat temperature lower than the

HUMIDITY CONTROL FEATURE

The humidity control feature is an automatic function
designed to regulate humidity to provide additional color
to food as needed. This feature is particularly useful for
adding color to high moisture products such as chicken

and other poultry, or for additional browning of full loads
and other moist products. In addition, this feature may

be used to add texture to fried items such as french fries
or breaded chicken. Humidity control can be used in any
cooking mode and can be programmed into a cooking
procedure.

Touch the nearest 10% increment on the left side of the

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

STEAM MODE CHEF OPERATING TIPS

This mode will steam a full or partial load of a single product,
or multiple products without transfer of avors. When
steaming multiple products, however, individual product

cooking times must be taken into consideration. The

STEAM

Perforated, 2-1/2" deep pans (65mm)

are particularly suitable for use in

this program mode. These pans will
provide a shorter cooking time and will

prevent product over-cooking at the
bottom of the pan.

Separate ice-encrusted vegetables
before steaming to ensure
even cooking.

A variety of products can be steamed
at the same time but attention must
be paid to the different cooking times
required for each food product.

When cooking by probe, the probe

must be inserted so that the tip is
positioned in the center of the food

mass. For liquid or semi-liquid foods,

suspend the probe in the center of the

product and secure the probe wire to

the edge of the container.

HIGH TEMP STEAM

High temperature steaming is suitable

for hearty, root-type vegetables such as
potatoes, turnips, carrots, and cabbage.

High temperature steaming provides

a cooking time which is approximately
10-percent shorter than the regular
steam mode temperature of 212°F
(100°C).

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.

LOW TEMP STEAM

The low temperature steam mode
will function whenever the oven
compartment temperature is below
212°F (100°C).

It will take longer to steam
products using the low temperature

steam mode.

Steaming sausages in low temperature

steam prevents cracked or peeling
skins.

Use low temperature steam for delicate
foods such as shrimp, sh, seafood,
crème caramel, and sous vide.

For best results, low temperature steam

all delicate food items at a temperature

of 210°F (99°C) or below.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

COMBINATION MODE

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. In addition to shorter cooking times, this combination

of steam and heat offers less product shrinkage and more
moisture retention than obtained in a convection oven.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

COMBINATION MODE CHEF OPERATING TIPS

The Combination mode injects the optimum amount of
steam automatically. There is no need to select humidity

levels. Foods do not dry out. Flavors are retained with no
transfer of avors when mixing product loads.

Due to automatic steam adjustment, the door can be opened

at any time during a cooking operation. Be certain to observe

the safety warning when opening the oven door.

The Combination mode is particularly efcient when used
for baking, broiling, grilling, stewing, braising, and roasting.

When using the Combination mode, cooking temperatures
can be reduced 10- to 20-percent below the temperatures

used for conventional cooking methods.

Cooking time will be reduced approximately 40-percent
when cooking at the same temperature used for convection
oven cooking and up to 50- to 60-percent less time when

cooking at the same temperature used for a conventional
oven.

Food browning in the Combitherm begins at a cooking
temperature of approximately 250°F (120°C).

A higher cooking temperature results in heavier browning
but also results in greater product weight loss. To achieve
additional browning set humidity control into the product

procedure. Humidity control is particularly useful for adding
color to high moisture products such as chicken and other

poultry items or for additional browning of full loads and

other moist products.

The Combination mode provides even browning without the

necessity to turn the pans.

For more even cooking, do not cook in pans deeper than
4" (100mm).

When cooking by probe, the probe must be inserted so

that the tip is positioned in the center of the food mass. For

liquid or semi-liquid foods, suspend the probe in the center
of the product and secure the probe wire to the edge of the

container.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CONVECTION MODE

The Convection mode operates with hot circulated air within
a temperature range of 85°F to 575°F (30°C to 300°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.

The use of high temperatures (500-575°F) are not intended

for continous use.
