kept at a suitably safe distance from it (based on the radius of action of the shower head).
There is a serious risk of the operator sustaining burns if water is sprayed into hot fat.

Risk of burns!

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.

Before turning on

- Before closing the oven door make sure that the pans and grids inside are securely in place to
avoid damages to the door glass.

- When opening and closing the door take care to leave enough space for yourself and other people
to avoid possible injuries.

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

- Lock the rack in place correctly.

Loading/unloading

Risk of burns

- Depending on the selected cooking temperature, the food containers, grids 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:

- Loading capacity 15 kg

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 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.
