for operation.
- You should only ever allow the shower head to slide back into its resting position slowly.
Before turning on
- If the combi steamer has been transported at outside temperatures of < +4°C, the appliance's safety
temperature limiter may have been triggered. This must be reset by a qualified electrician.
- Lock the air baffle in place. Never reach behind the air baffle during operation and never attempt to
stop fans manually.
- Lock the rack or mobile tray rack in place correctly.
Loading/unloading

the door in particular may reach high temperatures. It is recommended that you wear protective gloves.
- The temperature of the glass part of the door and the casing may reach more than 60°C at some
points during operation.

6-11 30 kg (max. 15 kg per tray)
10-11 50 kg (max. 15 kg per tray)
20-11 150 kg (max. 15 kg per tray)
12-21 150 kg (max. 20 kg per tray)
20-21 200 kg (max. 20 kg per tray)
Fixing the rack in place (tabletop appliances)
- Hanging in place: Push the rack up and hang it in place.
- Take care not to bend the tracks when doing this, as this will stop grids, trays and containers from
being held securely in place.
Working with mobile tray racks and trolleys
- Do not stack rack trolleys so that they are top-heavy →risk of tipping.
- Always make sure that the container locking device is closed.
- Push in the mobile tray rack as far as it will go and apply its brakes.
- To pull it out, use the handle supplied. Remove the handle during cooking.
- Empty the collecting tray at the bottom of the mobile tray rack on a regular basis; otherwise, water
spilling over the sides will create a risk of slipping.
- When transporting racks using the rack transportation trolley, make sure the rack engages in the
transportation locking device.
- During transportation over a sloping or bumpy surface, the trolley/trolley system, banquet trolley system
or rack transportation trolley may tilt.
Working with banquet systems (option for tabletop appliances)
- Remove the rack.
- Attach the push-in track to the base of the appliance.
- Push in the rack/trolley system.
Working with core temperature sensors
- Core temperature sensors can become hot! Wear protective gloves.
- Take care not to prick yourself or anyone else with the point of the sensor.
- Before piercing, check the sensor for soiling to prevent cross-contamination between products.
- Do not leave the sensor hanging out of the cooking chamber. It is a sensitive measuring instrument,
so always hang it up in the place provided for it.
- Remove the sensor from the food before taking the batch out.
Condensation hood (option)
- An optional condensation hood is available for Eloma combi steamers.
- The condensation hood is controlled fully automatically via the combi steamer.
