4.3 Operating and cooking modes

4.3.1 Operating modes

Manual cooking
In the Manual cooking mode, individual cooking programs and equipment functions can be activated directly. The various cooking modes and equipment functions can be modified individually.
Automatic cooking
In the Automatic cooking mode, saved cooking programs can be activated and modified if necessary.

4.3.2 Types of cooking

Steaming
Steaming is a cooking mode, in which the food to be cooked is cooked gently by means of steam in a temperature range of 30 °C to 130 °C.
Combisteaming
Combisteaming is a cooking mode, in which large roasts, casseroles and baked goods can be cooked in a temperature range of 30 °C to 250 °C.
10014471-0ABBE-A
Hot air
Hot air is a cooking mode, in which the food to be cooked is cooked without additional moisture in a temperature range of 30 °C to 250 °C.
17Operating instructions
Description of the unit
Regeneration
Regeneration is a cooking mode, in which the food being cooked can be kept warm and prepared in a temperature range of 30 °C to 155 °C.

4.3.3 Expanded cooking functions

Expanded cooking functions can be used to modify individual cooking steps for the particular food being cooked.
The following expanded cooking functions are available:
Manual humidification Manual humidification allows the cooking zone humidity to be
increased during operation.
Start time delay
When using the start time delay, temperatures that promote the growth of harmful microorganisms on the food being cooked can occur in the cooking zone. Observe food processing regulations.
The start time delay can be used to set a waiting period until the program starts.
In this way, bottlenecks in production and preparation can be avoided.
The prepared food to be cooked can be loaded into the unit and the desired cooking program selected.
Heat (Ready2Cook)
The function can be selected when starting the cooking program.
For many cooking programs such as baking, for instance, the correct starting temperature is important.
The expanded heating function can be used to warm the cooking zone to the correct starting temperature.

4.3.4 Core temperature measurement

When using core temperature measurement, the temperature inside the food being cooked is measured by means of a core temperature sensor.
As soon as the target core temperature is reached, the cooking process is ended automatically or, in the case of a multi-step cooking program, the next cooking step starts.
The use of core temperature measurement offers the following benefits:
Reduced energy and water consumption
No overcooking
Less weight lost by the food being cooked
High HACCP safety

5.1 Operating the unit in an environmentally responsible manner

If used correctly, this Combisteamer achieves very low energy consumption.
You can assist low energy consumption by:
Avoiding continuous operation - the Combisteamer heats up very quickly, which means that continuous operation is not necessary.
Loading the cooking zone as full as possible - if practical, use a Combisteamer with a smaller cooking zone.

6.10 Cleaning the cooking zone automatically with WaveClean (optional)

CAUTION Risk of chemical burns
Keep the cooking zone door closed during the cleaning procedure.
CAUTION Risk of chemical burns
In the case of the 20.15 and 20.21 models, put the preheat bridge on the bottom edge of the cooking zone opening, if there is no tray trolley in the Combisteamer.
The use of unsuitable cleaning agents often causes damage to units. MKN makes great efforts to be able to offer a cleaning agent, which on the one hand achieves an outstanding cleaning performance, but which on the other hand does not attack and damage the hot air steamer. We therefore recommend that only our cleaning agent is used. MKN does not assume any responsibility or liability for damage, which is caused by unsuitable cleaning agents. Claims against MKN that are due to this can not be upheld, not even within the scope of the guarantee or warranty.
It is not permitted to cool the temperature sensor down in order to start the cleaning procedure more quickly. The whole cooking zone must be cooled down to 60 °C for effective cleaning.
Depending on the cleaning level selected, the fan may come to a standstill for up to 60 minutes. This is not a cancellation of cleaning but part of the cleaning program.
Automatic forced rinse is triggered in the following situations.
Cleaning is cancelled manually. Cancelling within the first 10 minutes of cleaning does not trigger an automatic forced rinse.
Cleaning is cancelled automatically in the event of a fault.
The Combisteamer is switched off and then back on during cleaning. The automatic forced rinse begins when the unit is switched back on.
If the automatic forced rinse is cancelled, it starts again from the beginning.
It is not possible to start a cooking program, before the forced rinse is ended.
