Control modes
F
„Moist Heat“ mode
The high-performance steam generator produces fresh steam. This is fed, unpressurised, into the
cooking cabinet and is circulated at high speed by the fan. The patented control system regulates
the input of steam, supplying only as much as the food is actually able to absorb. In this mode
cabinet temperature is set to a constant 100 °C.
„Dry Heat“ mode
Powerful heating elements heat the dry air. The fan circulates the hot air evenly throughout the
cabinet. Cabinet temperature can be set to between 30 °C and 300 °C.
„Combi-Steam“ mode
Moist Heat and Dry Heat modes are combined by a control system. This creates a hot, humid climate
for especially intensive cooking. The temperature can be set to between 30 °C and 300 °C.
The humidity is controlled continually to prevent the food drying out.
„Vario-Steam“ mode
An electronic control system with temperature sensors accurate to one degree maintains the prese-
lected temperature throughout the cabinet. Sensitive controls and automatic control engineering
ensure that the cooking climate is just right for the product. The cabinet temperature can be variably
set to between 30 °C and 99 °C.
„Finishing®“ mode
The two operating modes moist heat and dry heat are combined. This produces the ideal cook-
ing climate, both preventing the food drying out and the formation of unwanted puddles. Cabinet
temperature can be individually set to between 30° C and 300 °C.
- 15 -
Moist Heat mode
„Moist Heat“
The steam generator produces hygienic fresh steam.
In this mode the cabinet temperature is set to a
constant 100 °C.
Boiled beef, cured ham, knuckle of pork, tongue,
boiling fowl, turkey legs, meat in aspic, fish.
• Side dishes
Risotto/rice, dumplings, pasta (noodles), fresh and
frozen vegetables, vegetable casseroles, potato
roulade, boiled/jacket potatoes.
• Desserts
Fresh or frozen fruit (e.g. hot raspberries), stewed
fruit, rice pudding.
- 16 -
Moist Heat mode
Hints
• To get the most out of your Combi-Master check
daily the types of food which can be cooked
together using „Moist Heat“. Remember that
fish, meat, vegetables, side dishes and fruit can
be cooked together (as long as they are all being
prepared by the same method).
• Cook potatoes in perforated GN containers,
the perforations let the steam circulate and give
faster, more intensive cooking.
• Vegetable stock can be collected by inserting a
container on the bottom rack.
• It is better to use two shallower GN containers
rather than one high one => this reduces bulk
and avoids heavy layers of food.
• Dumplings should be placed in a shallow solid
GN container.
• Rice and cereals are the only foods to which
you should add water: 1 part grain, 1.5 to 2 parts
water.
• Tomatoes are easy to skin: „Moist Heat“ for
approx. 1 min, then plunge into cold water.
- 17 -
Dry Heat mode
„Dry Heat“
Powerful heating elements heat the dry air. Cabinet
temperature can be set to between 30 °C and
Cooking times will depend on product
quality, weight and height. Do not
overload grids or containers so that air
can circulate evenly.
• Breaded products
all types of breadcrumb coating can be used.
Browning is improved by brushing with fat or a
blend of paprika and oil. Press the breadcrumbs
in firmly, brush with melted fat and do not
overload the unit. Rule of thumb: allow approx.
8 to 10 minutes per 1cm thickness of meat.
• General notes on pan-frying
- Preheat to as high a temperature as possible
(300 °C) to build up sufficient stored heat.
- Load as quickly as possible in order to
minimise cabinet temperature drop.
- During cooking (with a full load) open the
door briefly to allow excess moisture to escape.
- With flash-fried and fried products which
give off a lot of moisture (e.g. chicken legs),
if possible reduce loads to 75 or up to a
maximum of 50% of the greatest theoretical
load.
Preheat: to 300 °C (at least until heating
indicator light goes out).
Optimum cut thickness: 1,5 to 2 cm.
Optimale Schnittstärken: 1,5 bis 2 cm.Accessories: Roasting and baking tray or
granite-enamelled container. For even browning
on the top and bottom surfaces, make sure that
the slices are of the same thickness or the same
size.
• Gratinating
light and dark meat dishes, fish, mussels,
asparagus, chicory, broccoli, fennel, tomatoes,
toast.
Preheat: to 300 °C (at least until heating
indicator light goes out). Set to desired
temperature after loading.
E.G.: Grids or containers (20 mm) for
gratinating toast, steaks and soups.
- 19 -
Dry Heat mode
• Baking
Preheat to baking temperature. For a full load
you may need to select a higher preheating
temperature.
Baking temperature: approx. 20 to 25 °C
lower than in a conventional oven.
For rolls use only every second shelf.
For frozen convenience products preheat
to 300 °C.
Defrost frozen rolls and leave to rise for a
short time.
Accessories:
Use perforated Teflon-coated baking trays,
Roasting and baking trays or granite enamelled GN
containers.

amount of fumet, essence or reduction!
• Advantages:
– Firm textured fillings.
– Products have intenser taste and aroma.
– Stock loss very low in fatty material.
Approximate temperature: 72 to 80 °C.
• Cook direct in the serving dish,
e.g. fish.
• Preserving fruit/vegetables
Cover the food with hot or cold liquid,
depending on the firmness of the raw product
and the type of preserve you want. The diameter
of the preserving jars used should not exceed
100 mm. The cooking temperature will depend
on the type of product (ripeness, size of pieces).
Approximate temperature: 74 to 99 °C.
Note:
The jars must not be closed

Servicing - Steam generator descaling
Your appliance is equipped with the patented
automatic Self Clean system. Automatic Self Clean
significantly extends the period between descaling
intervals. The steam generator in your appliance
still needs regular descaling, depending on water
hardness and use.
We recommend the following descaling intervals,
based on 8 hours’ steaming per day:
up to 18 °dH (to 3.2 mmol/litres) at least 1x
annually
up to 24 °dH (to 4.3 mmol/litres) at least 2x
annually
over 24 °dH (to 4.3 mmol/litres) at least 3x
annually
These recommended descaling intervals may
vary from the approximate values given above,
depending on the composition of the water
(e.g. minerals).

Rotate cabinet temperature knob to the right
until „CALC“ appears on the display.
