Basic Operations

Cooking with Core Probe

The core probe allows cooking to be regulated by monitoring temperature at the core of product. This device overrides the time setting. Cooking stops as soon as the core temperature of the product reaches the selected value.

Using the supplied multipoint core probe with four sensor points will ensure desired temperature is achieved. The end of cooking is signalled when all probe temperature sensors have exceeded set value.

Positioning the Probe

Connect probe to connection and insert needle into product to be cooked.

Set oven temperature and desired core temperature then press “START / STOP”.

During cooking, product temperature increases gradually, and when it reaches 5 degrees below desired core temperature an information window appears indicating this, allowing the operator time to prepare.

On reaching the set core temperature an alert will sound and an information window on the display will signal the end of cooking.

Advantages of core probe cooking:• Eliminates risk of loss and waste by improving control over cooking process• Enables accurate cooking regardless of quality or size of any food item being cooked• Saves time as cooking control is automatic• Guarantees strict hygiene as no need for food to be handled, poked or pierced• Ideal for large food items• Perfect for cooking delicate foods as cooking accurate to within one degree• HACCP requirements are always respected

NOTEWait for a few seconds after inserting probe before starting to cook. This will allow the controls to identify probe. If probe is not identified, a warning will appear on the screen. In this case, press “BACK”, wait a few seconds then start cooking by pressing “START / STOP”.

NOTEWe recommend positioning food in the centre of oven.

Cleaning

Washing the Oven

A meticulous cleaning regime is a prerequisite for impeccable cooking results and better yields.

The oven is equipped with 5 washing programmes:• Manual - a simple, thorough clean in a short space of time.• Rinse - fast rinse of the oven. • Soft - removes day-to-day grime.• Medium - removes normal dirt.• Hard - designed to remove tough dirt.

Running a Washing Programme

Press “AWS” key to access the selection screen listing the oven washing options.

Select desired type of washing cycle by pressing touch screen directly. The oven will ask if detergent tank is connected and if there is enough detergent. Ensure this is the case then press “YES”.

Press “START / STOP” button to begin chosen washing cycle.

The oven will then heat or cool chamber to the ideal temperature for this particular cycle.

Once cycle starts, the display will show time remaining until washing cycle is complete.

A window will appear informing the user that washing cycle is complete. Press “ESC” to close the window, then press “BACK” button to return to main menu.

Shut off all utilities (electricity, water and gas if connected). Leave door slightly ajar when appliance is not in use.

NOTEIt is a good rule at the end of the wash cycle to rinse inside of oven again with hand-held shower and wipe the front seal with a sponge or cloth to prevent premature deterioration.

Cleaning

CAUTION• Never use direct or high-pressure jets of water to clean the outside of the oven.• Never use corrosive and/or abrasive substances on steel surfaces. Avoid scouring or scrubbing with

steel wool or wire brushes as this could result in irreparable damage.• Similarly, aggressive detergents of non-alkaline formulation containing high percentages of sodium

and ammonia can soon damage the seals and jeopardise oven efficiency and operation. • The outside of the oven should be washed with a sponge and warm water using an ordinary

detergent suited to the purpose.• Use a specially formulated detergent.

CALOUTThe oven can count the operating hours of the steam generator and therefore can inform the operator when the lime scale cleaning process should be activated through the special CALOUT cycle.

When the CALOUT cycle needs to be run, a window will appear on the display to remind the user to implement the CALOUT by the end of the day.

Press “ESC” directly on touch screen or confirm by pressing scroller to delete window. When oven is switched on, a window will appear on the display reminding user to implement CALOUT cycle as soon as possible.

The message is also displayed at the beginning and end of a cooking cycle unless the CALOUT cycle is run shortly afterwards (for example, by the end of the day or at beginning of the next).

Routine Maintenance

It is necessary to periodically clean the deflector and pan racks. To do this:• Stop and close off all utilities (gas, electricity and water).• Remove pan racks.• Unscrew deflector screws in order to facilitate cleaning of the rear of oven.• Clean deflector then rinse thoroughly with hand shower. Do not use abrasive products or scourers

since these will damage the steel surface.• Dry with a clean cloth.• If there is particularly stubborn grime and dirt, the deflector must be removed. If possible, wash in a dishwasher.• Once clean, replace deflector and ensure that the two fixing screws on the right hand side are properly tightened.

Prolonged Non Use

If oven is to stand idle for any length of time (e.g. holidays or seasonal closing) the appliance must be cleaned thoroughly, leaving no traces of food or dirt. Leave door slightly ajar so that the can circulate inside the oven. Shut off all utilities (electricity, water and gas), if connected.

NOTEIf a CALOUT cycle is not performed at the end of the day, the next day the display will indicate “ONLY CONVECTION” and the steam generator will be disabled, only becoming operational once the CALOUT cycle is performed.
