ECOSMART®TECHNOLOGY
The Alto-Shaam Combitherm combination
oven/steamer employs Ecosmart operating
efficiencies in the design and application
of all operating and programming
functions. Ecosmart operational
characteristics include the use of a water barrier
to close the oven compartment to the outside air.
While maintaining a non-pressurized atmosphere,
the primary purpose of the Ecosmart system is to
prevent the steam and heat generated within the oven
compartment from freely escaping to the outside.
The Ecosmart design displaces the air within the
cooking compartment and achieves a higher level
of steam saturation that offers quick-steaming at
temperatures above 212°F (100°C).
This guide is provided as an operational aid with
step-by-step instructions of the basic functions of
the Combitherm oven, along with the many other
additional features of the control.
Powerful tool - The PROtouch control plays an important part in our continuous improvement process. New features and
abilities can be loaded to your oven as they become available. Simply call our Service Department for assistance.

STEAM MODE CHEF OPERATING TIPS
This mode will steam a full or partial load of a single product,
or multiple products without transfer of avors. 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.
STEAM
Perforated, 2-1/2" deep pans (65mm)
are particularly suitable for use in
this program mode. These pans will
provide a shorter cooking time and will
prevent product over-cooking at the
bottom of the pan.
Separate ice-encrusted vegetables
before steaming to ensure
even cooking.
A variety of products can be steamed
at the same time but attention must
be paid to the different cooking times
required for each food product.
When cooking by probe, the probe
must be inserted so that the tip is
positioned in the center of the food
mass. For liquid or semi-liquid foods,
suspend the probe in the center of the
product and secure the probe wire to
the edge of the container.
HIGH TEMP STEAM
High temperature steaming is suitable
for hearty, root-type vegetables such as
potatoes, turnips, carrots, and cabbage.
High temperature steaming provides
a cooking time which is approximately
10-percent shorter than the regular
steam mode temperature of 212°F
(100°C).
LOW TEMP STEAM
The low temperature steam mode
will function whenever the oven
compartment temperature is below
212°F (100°C).
It will take longer to steam
products using the low temperature
steam mode.
Steaming sausages in low temperature
steam prevents cracked or peeling
skins.
Use low temperature steam for delicate
foods such as shrimp, sh, seafood,
crème caramel, and sous vide.
For best results, low temperature steam
all delicate food items at a temperature
of 210°F (99°C) or below.

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 retention than obtained in a convection oven.

COMBINATION MODE CHEF OPERATING TIPS
The Combination mode injects the optimum amount of
steam automatically. There is no need to select humidity
levels. Foods do not dry out. Flavors are retained with no
transfer of avors when mixing product loads.
Due to automatic steam adjustment, the door can be opened
at any time during a cooking operation. Be certain to observe
the safety warning when opening the oven door.
The Combination mode is particularly efcient when used
for baking, broiling, grilling, stewing, braising, and roasting.
When using the Combination mode, cooking temperatures
can be reduced 10- to 20-percent below the temperatures
used for conventional cooking methods.
Cooking time will be reduced approximately 40-percent
when cooking at the same temperature used for convection
oven cooking and up to 50- to 60-percent less time when
cooking at the same temperature used for a conventional
oven.
Food browning in the Combitherm begins at a cooking
temperature of approximately 250°F (120°C).
A higher cooking temperature results in heavier browning
but also results in greater product weight loss. To achieve
additional browning set humidity control into the product
procedure. Humidity control is particularly useful for adding
color to high moisture products such as chicken and other
poultry items or for additional browning of full loads and
other moist products.
The Combination mode provides even browning without the
necessity to turn the pans.
For more even cooking, do not cook in pans deeper than
4" (100mm).
When cooking by probe, the probe must be inserted so
that the tip is positioned in the center of the food mass. For
liquid or semi-liquid foods, suspend the probe in the center
of the product and secure the probe wire to the edge of the
container.

CONVECTION MODE
The Convection mode operates with hot circulated air within
a temperature range of 85°F to 575°F (30°C to 300°C). For
many applications, better results may be achieved with the
Combination mode; therefore, the operator may want to
consider using the Convection mode on a more limited basis.
The use of high temperatures (500-575°F) are not intended
for continous use.
