ECOSMART®TECHNOLOGY
The Alto-Shaam CombiTouch 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.
