5. Preheat – Cool Down Active Temp
The steamer should always be pre-heated or cooled down before cooking.
The Preheat function is used to bring the cooking compartment of the combi-steamer to a
preselected temperature.
If the compartment temperature is below the set value, the heating is switched on.
If the temperature is too high for the subsequent cooking program, the unit is cooled down.
In the following procedural description, the shorter term Preheat will be used instead of
Preheat - Cool.
Manual preheating
Manual preheating is done at a temperature that is 10 % above the setpoint temperature of
the cooking program.
− The function is selected via the Preheat key.
− After selection of a cooking program (standard or customized), Preheat is selected by
pressing the key. Now press the Start/Stop key; the Preheat LED flashes, the time display
shows “Prh”, and the temperature display shows the active setpoint temperature (including
the +10%).
− When the higher PreHeat temperature has been reached, an acoustic signal is given, the
time display shows Prh, and the temperature display shows End.
− The acoustic signal is repeated regularly until the door is opened.
− Place food in the steamer and close the door; the program starts automatically.
− If the door is opened during preheating, the Preheat sequence is interrupted.
− After closing the door again, Preheat is continued until the required temperature is
reached.
− The preheat temperature is maintained for max. 1 hour.
− Aborting the preheating procedure with the Preheat key will start the first cooking step
immediately.
