STEAM MODE CHEF OPERATING TIPS This mode will steam a full or partial load of a single product, or multiple products without transfer of flavors. When steaming multiple products, however, individual product cooking times must be taken into consideration. The non-pressurized atmosphere of the Combitherm also provides the ability to open the door during the steam mode in order to monitor products more closely throughout the steaming process.

COMBINATION MODE The Combination mode will prove to be the most versatile and widely used mode the Combitherm oven has to offer. It will produce the best possible results on the widest variety of products — all within the shortest period of time. The unique control function of this mode enables the operator to roast or bake with a combination of steam and convection heat. In addition to shorter cooking times, this combination of steam and heat offers less product shrinkage and more moisture rete

RETHERM MODE CHEF OPERATING TIPS Since plated meals consist of dissimilar products, there are several important factors to consider in order to produce the finest results. Product density (compactness), thickness, quantity of product on each plate, and quantity of plates all relate to the length of time necessary to reheat. Again, experience is the best method to determine reheating time. Once the time has been determined and recorded for a specific meal, the results will be consistent for futur
