Safety instructions

Improper maintenance or cleaning or
modifications to the appliance can lead to
serious injuries and damage to the
appliance.

Read the user’s manual carefully before
operating the appliance.

The appropriate country-specific standards
and regulations are to be observed.

How your CONVOTHERM Mini
works

You can prepare various foodstuffs in your
CONVOTHERM. Steam, convection or
superheated steam are used to do this.

Your CONVOTHERM therefore covers
nearly all possible methods of cooking food.
You can use it to steam, blanch, poach,
simmer, braise, boil, roast, stew, bake,
gratinate, grill, cook sous-vide, low-oxygen
cook at low temperature, regenerate and
defrost food. You place the food in your
CONVOTHERM in CONVOTHERM
approved accessories, select the cooking
programme, cooking time or core
temperature and start the appliance.

Correct use

• Your CONVOTHERM may only be
used for the cooking methods listed
above.

• Your CONVOTHERM is intended for
commercial use.

• The ambient temperature should not be
below 4°C.

• To avoid accidents and damage to the
CONVOTHERM, the operator must
train staff regularly. The appliance may
only be used by trained employees.

Regular safety training for operating staff
is mandatory.

The appliance should never

• be operated in toxic or poisonous
atmospheres

• be operated at a temperature <+4°C

• be operated outside without protection

from rain

• cook food in sealed containers (such as,
for example, tins and cans).

• be used to heat up flammable objects
such as, for example, oils, fats, cloths
or similar items, etc.

• heat non-foods (with the exception of
permitted appliance accessories).

Risk of death

• Electric shock
Before opening the housing cover and

carrying out repairs and maintenance
(by CONVOTHERM authorised
electricians only), turn off the
building’s electricity supply to the
CONVOTHERM.
Risk of an electric shock!

Safety instructions

Risk of injury

• Place of operation
Avoid cooking appliances with fat baths
such as deep fat fryers, machines that
bake with fat, etc. near the
CONVOTHERM. There is a serious
risk of burns for the operator, if water
splashes into hot fat. A sufficient safe
distance should be kept between fat
baths or deep fat fryers and the
appliance (operating range of optional
hand-held spray).

• Do not install the CONVOTHERM
above appliances which give off a lot of
heat and/or steam, as this can affect
how the CONVOTHERM functions.
Risk of an electric shock.

• Cooking mode

– Caution: steam!

When opening the oven door,
proceed as follows: Turn handle
and slowly open the door. Escaping
steam may otherwise lead to burns,
for example on the hands and face.

– Risk of burns!

If containers filled with liquids or
with a foodstuff which is liquid
during cooking, no shelf levels
which are higher than those which
can be seen into may be used.
Please observe the additional
instructions / stickers on the
appliance.

• Kitchen logistics

Do not store or use flammable
gases or liquids near the appliance.
These could ignite due to the heat
given off by the appliance,
endangering both people and
product.

• Appliance malfunctions

– If you notice scratches, nicks or

cracks on the inside panel of the
appliance door, it must be replaced
immediately. Otherwise, the glass
panel could shatter during cooking,
leading to cuts.

–

The CONVOTHERM may only be
operated with a working magnetic
door switch. In the event of a
malfunction, inform
CONVOTHERM customer service
department immediately.

– Cleaning

When cleaning, wear suitable
protective clothing (gloves,
protective glasses).

–

Leave the door open a little, when
not operating for a while (e.g.
overnight).

• The use of non-original
CONVOTHERM cleaners may
harm health by irritating the lungs
or skin and may cause irreparable
damage to the stainless steel
surface.
Please follow the safety instructions
on the labels and/or on the safety
data sheets of the cleaners.

Possible damage to products or
buildings

• Before operating for the first time

– In the vicinity of the unit, connect

an accessible all pole isolation
switch with a contact gap of at least
3mm as part of the building's
installation. When carrying out
external cleaning, repair or
installation work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the
electrical supply.

- 8 - EN

Safety instructions

– The exhaust pipe and its cover (top

left) can reach a high temperature

–

You can get more installation
advice from the installation
instructions. For the connected
wattage, voltage and fuse rating,
see the technical data or circuit
diagram in the CONVOTHERM’s
wiring space.

• All appliance models

– To ensure that your

CONVOTHERM is working trouble­free, maintenance should be
carried out at least once a year by
a designated customer service
department authorised by
CONVOTHERM.

–

When not using the appliance for
extended periods, shut off the
water stopcock and disconnect the
building’s electricity supply to the
CONVOTHERM.

• Cleaning

– For the purposes of cleaning, the

optional hand-held shower must
only be used for the oven interior
and not for the outer housing. Do
not spray the air intake or outlet
apertures of the CONVOTHERM.

–

Only carry out cleaning and
maintenance work on the cold
CONVOTHERM.
Do not spray water into the hot
oven.
Allow the temperature in the
CONVOTHERM’s oven to cool
down to below 60°C.

–

Regular cleaning of the
CONVOTHERM, both inside and
out and including the door
appliance drip channel, after daily
use will guarantee you years of
pleasure with your CONVOTHERM!

–

Only use CONVOTHERM
approved cleaning agents.

See section “Daily maintenance
and care”. On no account use
irritating, highly alkaline cleaners or
scourers. In the event of damage
which can be traced back to
improper cleaning, any claim under
the warranty becomes invalid!

–

Do not use jet cleaners or water
sprays to clean your
CONVOTHERM!

–

Do not treat the CONVOTHERM
with acids or expose to acid steams,
as stainless steel can then corrode.

• Decalcification of the oven

- remove light calcium films by
spraying, letting CONVOCare work
and wiping out thoroughly with a
damp cloth

- heavy calcium deposits should
only be removed by approved
CONVOTHERM authorised customer
service department

On a day to day basis

• Before switching on

–

Lock the rack as instructed.

–

If the ambient temperature at the
installation site is below +4°C heat
the CONVOTHERM up to room
temperature before initial start up.

–

After transporting the
CONVOTHERM when the outside
temperature is below -4°C, the
safety temperature limiter may
have been triggered. This has to be
corrected by a CONVOTHERM
approved electrician.

–

In the case of an “E...” error
message, refer to the section “What
to do if ...”.

Safety instructions

• Loading/removing dishes

– Risk of burns!

–

Depending on the cooking
temperature selected, high
temperatures can occur,
especially on the food
containers, shelves and on the
inside panel of the door. It is
advisable to wear protective
gloves.

–

During operation, the
temperature of the glass panel
in the door and the outer
housing can sporadically get
very hot.

– Risk of burns!

Containers containing hot,
liquid foods should only be
transported if covered to avoid
spillage of liquids.

–

The maximum permitted
loading weight:
20 kg (max. 10 kg per shelf)

–

Never reach behind the suction
plate during operation and
never stop the fans manually.

• Fixing the shelf rack

– Removing: Press shelf rack

upwards and unhook.

–

Ensure that the runners do not
become bent, otherwise
shelves, trays and containers
will no longer by safely
supported.

• Working with standard core

temperature sensor

– The core temperature sensor can

become hot. Use protective
gloves.

–

Ensure that you do not prick
yourself or others with the tip of the
sensor.

–

Do not allow the sensor to hang out
of the oven. Always hang it
correctly on the hook provided, as it
is a sensitive measuring instrument.

–

Before taking out dishes, remove
the sensor from the food.
