Quick Start

The operation panel is so designed that

the modes are activated by pressing the keys next to the

symbols or digits (6 keys on either side).

In the case of for instance time and temperature, the left as well as the right side next to the mode are active. The right key increases time, temperature, etc. and the left key reduces time, temperature, etc.

Some of the symbols are shown on one side only and will lead you to a submenu. When you have made changes in the submenu, press OK at the upper right hand corner.

The read circle with the green line at the top of the panel is the main switch.

The green square with the white line at the lower right-hand corner is ON/OFF.

The white circle with the small symbol at the lower left-hand corner gives you access to the program menu.

When the oven is on (a program or a function has been activated – the square around the function flashes), it is still possible to set TIME, TEMPERATURE, FAN and EXHAUST and CORE TEMPERATURE.

Note that the fan wheel is reversible. This means that the wheel can run leftwards as well as rightwards with a small interval when changing direction.

On the following pages, the above initial display image will be referred to as the “work screen”.

Low fan speed is recommended for puff pastry, Danish pastry, cakes, sweet biscuits, etc. You may add 1 or 2 minutes’ baking time when using low fan speed.

Open exhaust is recommended for bread and pastry, roasting of pieces of meat and to achieve a grill effect.

a) Return to work screen without storing settings of fan and exhaust, if any. b) Accept settings of fan and exhaust and return to work screen.

The graph illustrates the difference between oven temperature and core temperature. The graph is fixed and does not change when you set the core temperature. Core temperature probe 1 is red and core temperature probe 2 (optional extra) is blue.

Cooking with core temperature probe 2 The temperature in the product determines which of the two probes first reaches the desired core temperature. When one of the probes reaches the core temperature, an alarm sounds and a message appears in the display. Take out the product and deactivate the probe (OFF). Close the door and the oven continues until the second probe reaches the desired core temperature.

Cleaning program

Manual cleaning program lasting 30 minutes. The alarm sounds when detergent should be added. If the oven chamber is very soiled, apply combi steam 3 at 100°C for 30 minutes before

starting the program.

Steaming

To get the oven ready for production

water plant,

quickly and ensure a perfect start of the steaming process, we recommend that you cool down the oven chamber to 80°C.

If the oven chamber is too hot, it cools down automatically.

We recommend that you start the steaming process 8 minutes before you place the products in the oven chamber.

Low-temperature steaming at 65 - 90°C is recommended for delicate products such as fish. Steaming at 80°C for 5 – 10 min. of fresh vegetables such as carrots, asparagus, potatoes and beans (diameter: 5 – 12 mm) produces end products that have kept their colour and crispness.

Ordinary steaming at 98 – 100°C is recommended for all kinds of root vegetables, pasta, rice and meat.

Forced steaming at 120°C can be used for vegetables that need further processing and for faster preparation of for instance pasta, rice, hart root vegetables and frozen vegetables. Forced steaming should be used with care.

KP – ver. 1.4x – Dec. 2005

To achieve a perfect preparation every time, we recommend the use of a core temperature probe in all steaming modes.

If the oven is not connected to a soft

CombiClean cannot

function properly.

Recommendations for

combi steaming:

Combi steaming steps 1, 2 and 3

Combi steaming 1: Ordinary steaming of meat and poultry. The crust of the meat becomes as

brown as if HOT AIR was applied.

Combi steaming 2: For the braising of pieces meat, as the first step of a program. The pores of

the meat are rapidly closed, which keeps the meat juicy.

Combi steaming 3: Can be used as a steaming program at 100°C. The humidity content will be

almost 100% in the course of a few minutes, possibly a little longer if the oven chamber is filled with e.g. meat and potatoes

If you need to change the humidity content in the steps, please contact your oven supplier.

Regenerating/reheating/cooling

Cooling is activated in either of the following ways:

Regenerating/reheating is a very gentle process (20 – 180°C). The program operates with low fan speed and adds a carefully calculated amount of humidity which maintains the nice appearance and taste of the products.

Use a core temperature probe to reach a perfect end temperature.

For the reheating of sous-vide products, etc., follow the recommendations of the supplier.

Recommended times and temperatures for optimum, gentle reheating: 8 – 12 minutes at 140°C for rice/meat and vegetables arranged on plates 40 – 60 minutes at 120 – 140°C for whole roasts, stews and sauces

20 – 30 minutes at 120°C for pasta, rice and the like

a) Oven door closed. Use water to speed up cooling process. Alarm sounds when the

temperature is reached.

b) Oven door open. Fan wheel draws in air to speed up cooling process. Program stops when

temperature is reached. No alarm.

It is recommended to set the cooling mode at 20°C below the required working temperature.

KP – ver. 1.4x – Dec. 2005

The computer is set to maintain a humidity level of 80% which is the optimum level for all

Proving/preheating

Note that the countdown does not

products that need to be proved before they are baked.

Recommended settings of temperature and time: Loaves of 400 – 800 g: Low temperature and long proving time (32°C, 45 min.). Rolls/baguettes of 60 – 200 g: High temperature and short proving time (36°C, 25 min.).

We call your attention to the preset ”semiautomatic bread program”, in which the bread is proved and baked in the same process (models KPE, CPE and BPE).

Please note the distinction between prebaked (additional baking only) and preproved (thawing, proving and baking).

PREHEATING can be set for 0 – 15 minutes .

start until the selected oven temperature is reached.

PREHEATING ensures that the oven chamber is thoroughly heated. If the oven is cold, 2 - 5 minutes’ preheating is recommended (models 2.10 and 2.14 require 15 minutes’ preheating) If the oven is hot, 0 – 2 minutes’ preheating is recommended. Preheating at a temperature which is approx. 50°C higher than the desired working temperature is recommended.

NOTE: When the oven door is opened for loading, the oven chamber loses 30-50% of the

heat.
