ClimaPlus
®
Control Precise automatic humidity control
Use ClimaPlus Control to set, measure and maintain desired humidity in the
cooking environment. ClimaPlus is a patented technology that precisely and
automatically measures and controls the amount of humidity in the cooking
climate. This gives operators the flexibility and control to produce crisp crusts
for roast chicken... tender consistency for roasts, ribs, and meat loaf... delicate
evenness for light breads, cakes and pastries... perfect browning for au gratin
dishes, casseroles, and pies.
Advantages
Control humidity to:
■ Improve the quality of foods with different textures and consistencies.
■ Enable precise finishing of delicate items.
■ Cook a wide variety of foods at the same time, including sauces and stocks.
■ Achieve proper cooking intensity for doughy pastries.
Increase humidity to:
■ Promote basting.
■ Retain food’s natural flavors and nutrients.
■ Prevent dehydration for increased portions.
Remove humidity to:
■ Achieve browning.
■ Increase crispness and texture.
■ Maintain a consistent environment when baking or roasting “wet” foods.
Tips
A good approach to using ClimaPlus is to observe the cooking process and react
with the appropriate adjustment to the humidity level. Use ClimaPlus when:
• Food perspires
• Condensation forms on pans
• Browning needs to proceed more rapidly
■ ClimaPlus Control is most effective with foods that have high moisture content.
■ ClimaPlus is well suited to maintain a consistent environment when cooking
frozen or partially frozen meats, casseroles, entrées or side dishes.
■ Be sure to use Combination Mode if you wish ClimaPlus to add humidity.
GENERAL
INFORMA TION
14
Capabilities
ClimaPlus works by constantly monitoring and controlling the level of humidity
in the cooking environment. Most foods release moisture into the air as they
cook, naturally building excess humidity in the cabinet. When humidity rises above
the set level, ClimaPlus removes excess moisture. When humidity drops below the
set level, ClimaPlus signals the steam generator to add moisture into the cabinet .
The ClimaPlus window and controls are designed to display important information
about the cooking climate at a glance:
■ When cooking in Combination Mode, the horizontal display lights
up as a bar that is part blue and part red, with blue representing
moist heat and red representing dry heat.
■ The amount of blue and red showing indicates the desired
combination of moist and dry heat as set by the Central Dial.
■ The small green number displayed above the red/blue bar is the
actual percentage of relative humidity in the cabinet.
■ The ClimaPlus arrow key is used to activate ClimaPlus Control. During operation,
the arrows light up to indicate ClimaPlus activity. The up arrow lights up to
indicate that steam is being added to the cabinet. The down arrow lights up
when humidity is being removed from the cabinet.
Operation
■ Select Dry Heat or Combination Mode.
NOTE: Steam Generator is not active in Dry Heat mode. Therefore, ClimaPlus
functionality is limited to removing humidity from the cabinet. Moisture from
food may continue to build during cooking process but cannot be increased by
ClimaPlus.
■ Press the ClimaPlus Control arrow key.
■ Use the Central Dial to set the desired humidity level.
To check the current humidity level:
■ Press and hold TEMPERATURE key. The current humidity level in the cooking
cabinet is displayed in the ClimaPlus window.

Cooking M odes
ClimaPlus Combis have two basic cooking modes: Moist Heat and
Dry Heat. These two cooking modes can be used individually, in sequence,
or together in a third Combination mode. Almost all traditional cooking
processes can be accomplished in these modes.
Moist Heat Mode
The steam generator produces hygienic steam and releases it (without pressure)
into the cooking cabinet where it is circulated at high speeds by the fan. The
cooking temperature in this mode can be regulated from 85-265°F (30-130°C)
to accomplish:
■ Steaming
■ Tender Steaming
■ Forced Steaming.
Dry Heat Mode
Powerful heating elements heat the air inside the cabinet. The fan circulates this
hot, dry air evenly throughout the interior. Temperature can be regulated precisely
between 85-575°F (30-300°C).
■ Cooking environment can be manipulated extensively with additional functions
and ClimaPlus Control.
Combination Mode
The unit’s control system combines both Moist Heat and Dry Heat modes to create
a cooking environment in which variable amounts of humidity can be introduced
and controlled at temperatures from 85-575°F (30-300°C).
■ Cooking environment can be manipulated extensively with additional functions
and ClimaPlus Control.
■ Rethermalizing is accomplished in Combination Mode at 60% humidity or less.
17
Moist Heat Mode 212°F (100°C)
Pressureless steam generation and auto-reverse fan quickly produce a cooking
environment of 100% humidity. Perfect for steaming a wide variety of foods
with no flavor transfer. Also used for stewing, blanching, poaching, simmering,
soaking, thawing, rethermalizing, preserving.
Advantages
■ Extremely short preheating time.
■ Excellent food consistency.
■ Conser ves nutrients, color.
■ No added fats or oils.
■ Cook different products at the same time with no flavor transfer.
■ Can be partially unloaded for serving convenience.
■ No need to boil water in pots.
Menu suggestions
■ Ingredients preparations–tomato concasees, garnish, mushrooms, blanched
vegetables for stuffing, peeling, etc.
■ Starters, appetizers–scrambled, poached or boiled eggs; vegetable pate, asparagus,
stuffed vegetables, cannelloni.
■ Entrees–cooked beef, ham, turkey legs, steamed fish, chicken breasts.
■ Sides–rice, dumplings, pasta, fresh and frozen vegetables, boiled potatoes, and
grains.
Tips
■ Determine which foods can be cooked together for the greatest production
efficiency. This is best done by considering the cooking modes and temperatures.
Keep in mind that fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, etc. can be cooked at the same
time because no flavor transfer occurs.
■ Potatoes should always be cooked in perforated pans. This allows steam to
circulate for faster, more even cooking.
■ In general, two shallower pans are better than one deeper pan. This avoids bruising.
■ Dumplings should be placed in shallow pans not too close together.
■ Rice, dr y pasta, beans, and grains are foods to which water must be added prior
to cooking. Longer soaking times mean shorter cooking times.
■ Tomatoes can be skinned easily when steamed for 30 to 60 seconds, then chilled
in cold water.
■ Stock can be collected by inserting a container in the bottom of the oven rack.
COOKING MODES
18
Operation and Settings
■ Turn unit on.
■ Select MOIST HEAT mode and set TIMER on Continuous Run. Only blue
bars appear in ClimaPlus window indicating 100% moist heat.

Cooking times
Moist Heat mode principles apply: generally, the lower the cooking temperature the
longer the cooking time.
Seasoning
Season lightly. Low temperature cooking intensifies a food’s natural taste, as well as
the taste of seasonings. For the same reason, use less essences or reducing agents.
Texture, appearance

Tips
Cooking times
Proper cooking times will vary depending on the quality, weight, or size of the
product being cooked. Generally, cooking time is not affected by the size of the
load. However, avoid overloading grids or pans so air will circulate evenly around
all product.
Roasting, broiling
■ Preheat up to 575°F (300°C). Load and set to desired temperature.
■ Ideal thickness for steaks, chops, cutlets, or loin cuts:
1
⁄2
-1 in. (13-25mm).
■ Cook on grids with drip pans underneath. This allows even browning on all sides.
■ Group similarly sized products on the same grids.
Sautéing
■ Preheat enamel pan.
■ Shallow pans work best.
Browning, finishing
■ Preheat up to 575°F (300°C). Load and set to desired temperature.

Baking
■ Preheat to desired baking temperature. In general, ClimaPlus Combi baking
temperatures will be 70-80°F (20-25°C) LOWER than conventional ovens.
■ When baking do NOT preheat pans.
■ For bread, rolls, and muffins use only every second rack. Trays should not be
deeper than 2
3
⁄4
in. (70mm).
■ Defrost frozen bread dough and let rise for a short time before baking.
■ When baking full loads of “wet” product (frozen or dough), adjust ClimaPlus to
remove built-up humidity.
■ Lightly mist breaded products with water or vegetable oil or brush with eggwash.
■ When baking whole fish, wrap tail in foil and support it from underneath with
raw potatoes.
Operation and settings
■ Turn unit on.
■ Select DRY HEAT mode and set TIMER on Continuous Run.
■ Two red bars appear in ClimaPlus window.

■ Load oven.
■ Select TIMER key. Set desired cooking time using Central Dial OR select IQT
Sensor and set desired core temperature using Central Dial OR select
Continuous Run.
NOTE: Steam generator does not operate during Dry Heat Mode. However,
humidity builds in the cabinet from the moisture escaping food as it cooks. Use
ClimaPlus Control to limit the level of this humidity buildup if desired.
■ If desired, press arrow key and set ClimaPlus Control using Central Dial.
■ Unload oven when done. Unit automatically shuts off when door is opened.
NOTE: LCS & LCG models 20 & 40 have a built-in safety latch that lets steam

Combination Mode 85-575°F (30-300°C)
Fast, consistent method for cooking foods that require a combination of moist
and dry heat. Enables practically any percentage of humidity and precise
control of the desired level. Use when combi-baking, combi-roasting, combi-
steaming, browning, braising, glazing, basting.
Advantages
■ Fast preheating.
■ Cook with steam at temperatures above 212°F (100°C).
■ Less food shrinkage from dehydration.
■ More servings per cooked pound.
■ Automatic basting.
■ Foods retain more nutrients and flavor.
■ No added fats or oils are needed for cooking.
■ Even heating improves cooked quality of large meat portions.
■ Cook different products at the same time with no flavor transfer.
■ Consistent cooking and browning at all rack levels.
■ Can be partially unloaded for serving convenience.
Menu suggestions
■ Ingredients preparations–roasted bones for stock.
■ Starters, appetizers–quiche, pastas, bread, rolls (frozen), etc.
■ Entrees–roasts (beef, veal, pork, lamb) stuffed peppers, whole roast chicken,
turkey legs, casseroles, lasagna, etc.
■ Sides–potatoes au gratin, baked potatoes, frozen vegetables, baked apples, etc.
■ Desserts–yeast dough (choux pastry).
Tips
■ To achieve even cooking and browning, always cook roasts on grids with plenty
of space around each roast for air to circulate.
■ When practical, place roasts on grids with meat grain parallel to airflow for even
better results.
■ Cook large, fat-encrusted roasts in MOIST HEAT mode for the first one-third
of the total cooking time, then switch to COMBINATION mode with desired
settings for the remainder. This technique helps seal in juices, flavors and nutrients
while reducing shrinkage.
■ Condensation and juices can be collected in a pan under the roasts to be used
later with roasted bones for sauce stocks.
■ Use chicken grid to roast whole chickens upright for even cooking, browning.
