- Only authorised customer service personnel may install appliances, put them into operation
and perform maintenance work on them.

- There must not be any sources of heat or moisture underneath or in the
immediate vicinity of the appliance (such as deep fat fryers or portable stoves).

Risk of burns!

- The functional surfaces of the appliance become hot during operation.

Risk of burns!

- Care must be taken when opening the cooking chamber door, as hot air and
steam could escape.

Caution! Hot liquid in container

- If containers are filled with liquids or contents that will become liquid during cooking, ensure

that they are inserted at a level which will enable the user to see into them (i.e. the
containers must not be placed too high up in the appliance).

Appliance defects

- If the glass part of the door is damaged, the appliance must not be started up.

Contact customer service.

- If malfunctions occur, disconnect the appliance from the mains and close the water shut­off valve. Contact customer service.

Warning

- If the unit is not cleaned or is not cleaned well enough, deposits of

rease or food residues in the cooking cabinet may catch fire - Risk of fire.

Cleaning

- The shower head may only be used for cleaning the cooking chamber.

- Do not spray water into the hot cooking chamber.

- Under no circumstances must water jets, steam cleaners or high-pressure cleaners
be used on the exterior of the appliance.

- The door must not be opened whilst Autoclean is running (risk of chemical burns).

- Only use Eloma Multi-Clean special cleaning agents and Eloma Multi-Clean rinse agents.

- Eloma GmbH accepts no liability for damage caused by using non-Eloma cleaning agents
or rinse agents; use of such agents will also invalidate any warranty claims.

- Please observe the instructions for use provided with the cleaning agent and rinse agent.

- Wear appropriate protective gear when carrying out manual cleaning work (gloves,
protective goggles).

- Do not breathe in spray mist.

- Make sure that the air baffle and racks are used and locked in place in accordance with
regulations.

- When using the Autoclean function, make sure the canisters are connected correctly:
red for the cleaning agent and blue for the rinse agent.

- Before cleaning, make sure that there is sufficient cleaning and rinse agent in the
respective canisters.

- Canisters must be positioned below the bottom edge of the combi steamer. They must
never be positioned above this.

Notes on maintenance

- To keep the appliance in perfect working order, an authorised service partner should carry
out maintenance work on it at least once a year.

- We recommend that you agree a maintenance contract for this purpose.

- If the appliance is not going to be used for a prolonged period, turn it off, disconnect it from the
mains and close the water tap.

bed_791318_gt_2v4_en

Hand shower with automatic pull-back

- Pull the hand shower out until you hear it click; this means that it is locked in the correct
position for operation.

- To retract the hose, pull it out until it stops making a clicking noise.

- The hose will retract automatically. Water will only flow when the hose is locked in the
correct position for operation.

- You should only ever allow the shower head to slide back into its resting position slowly.

Before turning on

- If the combi steamer has been transported at outside temperatures of < +4°C, the appliance's safety
temperature limiter may have been triggered. This must be reset by a qualified electrician.

- Lock the air baffle in place. Never reach behind the air baffle during operation and never
attempt to stop fans manually.

- Lock the rack or mobile tray rack in place correctly.

Loading/unloading

Risk of burns

- Depending on the selected cooking temperature, the food containers, grids, rack trolley and
inside of the door in particular may reach high temperatures. It is recommended that you
wear protective gloves.

- The temperature of the glass part of the door and the casing may reach more than 60°C at
some points during operation.

- Containers with hot liquid foodstuffs must be covered during transportation to prevent the
liquid from spilling over the sides.

- Maximum permissible loading weight:

6-11 30 kg (max. 15 kg per tray)
10-11 50 kg (max. 15 kg per tray)
20-11 150 kg (max. 15 kg per tray)
12-21 150 kg (max. 20 kg per tray)
20-21 200 kg (max. 20 kg per tray)

Fixing the rack in place (tabletop appliances)

- Hanging in place: Push the rack up and hang it in place.

- Take care not to bend the tracks when doing this, as this will stop grids, trays and
containers from being held securely in place.

Working with mobile tray racks and trolleys

- Do not stack rack trolleys so that they are top-heavy → risk of tipping.

- Always make sure that the container locking device is closed.

- Push in the mobile tray rack as far as it will go and apply its brakes.

- To pull it out, use the handle supplied. Remove the handle during cooking.

- Empty the collecting tray at the bottom of the mobile tray rack on a regular basis; otherwise, water
spilling over the sides will create a risk of slipping.

- When transporting racks using the rack transportation trolley, make sure the rack engages
in the transportation locking device.

- During transportation over a sloping or bumpy surface, the trolley/trolley system, banquet
trolley system or rack transportation trolley may tilt.

Working with banquet systems (option for tabletop appliances)

- Remove the rack.

- Attach the push-in track to the base of the appliance.

- Push in the rack/trolley system.

Working with core temperature sensors

- Core temperature sensors can become hot! Wear protective gloves.

- Take care not to prick yourself or anyone else with the point of the sensor.

- Before piercing, check the sensor for soiling to prevent cross-contamination between products.

- Do not leave the sensor hanging out of the cooking chamber. It is a sensitive measuring
instrument, so always hang it up in the place provided for it.

- Remove the sensor from the food before taking the batch out.

Condensation hood (option)

- An optional condensation hood is available for Eloma combi steamers.

- The condensation hood is controlled fully automatically via the combi steamer.

- During the cooking process, steam is condensed as it passes over air-cooled plate condensers.
