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.

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

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!

–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.

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.

General advice

–Always keep these instructions near the appliance for future reference.

–Pass to any subsequent owner.
