1. INTRODUCTION
10 July 2006 Introduction
1.1 General Information for CONVOTHERM PC-HACCP and
CONVOTHERM PC-CONTROL
CONVOTHERM PC-HACCP and CONVOTHERM PC-CONTROL
•The PC uses the PC-HACCP software to communicate with the Combi or Combis.
•The PC-HACCP software must be started on the PC before the PC-Control software
can work.
CONVOTHERM PC-HACCP
•The Convotherm PC-HACCP software automatically records all processes run on
Convotherm Combis and stores them for HACCP monitoring.
•After cooking, the HACCP data is stored and can be graphed for review.
CONVOTHERM PC-CONTROL
•The Convotherm PC-Control software can store up to 250 recipes. The recipes can be
transferred to all your networked Combis in seconds.
•Recipes can be deleted, copied, or changed as needed.
•Stored recipes and functions including Cook & Hold, Delta-T Cooking, reduced fan
speed, reduced power, Crisp ‘n’ Tasty, and security can be programmed with HACCP
criteria and monitored with the Convotherm PC-HACCP software.
1.2 System Requirements

3.2.4 Delta-T Cooking, Cook&Hold
Delta-T and Cook&Hold are programmable with the CONVOTHERM PC-Control software.
Delta-T Cooking
•Delta-T cooking with hot air requires use of Core Temperature since the cooking
compartment temperature rises depending on the measured actual core temperature.
•The cooking compartment temperature should always be higher than the core
temperature by the Delta temperature.
•The Timer cannot be used in Delta-T mode.
1. In the Programming window, select the Delta-T Cooking operating mode by clicking
the Delta-T icon.
2. Adjust the Delta-Temperature with the arrow keys or input the desired value in the field.
3. Adjust the desired core temperature with the arrow keys or input the desired value in
the field.
Cook&Hold
•Cook&Hold Programs automatically switch from the Cook phase to the Hold phase
when the set Time or Core Temperature is reached.
•Select Hold Temperature so the cooking compartment temperature and the actual core
temperature meet at the desired Hold Temperature (Hold Temperature = Core
Temperature) to prevent over cooking.
•During the Hold phase, the Combi fan cycles with hot air and the time is automatically
set to continuous.
1. Select the operating mode of the first step in the Programming window.
2. Set the temperature (preferably between 120°C and 150°C).
3. Select the Time or Core Temperature for the switchover from Cook to Hold (Hold
Temperature = Core Temperature).
4. Press the New Step button for Hold phase entry.
5. Select Cook&Hold mode.
6. Accept the suggested hold temperature or if required, change the default values with
the arrow keys or enter new values in the fields.
7. Click OK.
Note:
The Cook&Hold mode can only be used as the last step in a multi-step Program.
