Alto-Shaam ASC-2E, ASC-4E manual Stop an Operation, Probe Calibration

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Stop an Operation:

Press Start/stop L Key. The oven will remain in a power-on state, and the operation will be cancelled. Press Cook 8 to set procedure again.

Adding product after Start:

If the door is opened during cook cycle, the heater, fan, and timer will disengage. “Door” will illuminate in the display. The timer will be held to the last value at the point of interruption. The oven will continue operation from the point of interruption when the door is closed.

Arrow Keys:

Cook, Hold and Probe Temperature set points can be adjusted by 1° when pressing the ARROW Keys. To adjust in steps of 10°, press and hold the TEMPERATURE Key and ARROW Key at the same time.

The Time setting is adjusted in increments of 1 minute by pressing the ARROW Keys. To make adjustment in steps of 10 minutes, press and hold the TIME Key and ARROW Key at the same time.

To run oven continuously at a SET temperature:

Set Cook temperature, set TIME to "--:--

".The oven will run continuously at that SET temperature. The display will alternate between the set-temperature and "--:--", signifying continuous cooking. The operator is then responsible for timing the cooking loads. To disengage, press Start/Stop.

Probe Usage:

When the oven probe remains inserted in the probe bracket, the LED temperature display will indicate the ambient air temperature inside the oven. To use the probe for cooking remove it from the bracket and wipe the full length of the metal probe with

a disposable alcohol pad to clean and sanitize before using.

Only the tip of the probe senses the internal product temperature; therefore, it is important the tip be placed correctly in the product for internal temperature accuracy. Push the probe tip halfway into the product, positioning the tip at the center of the food mass. When inserting the probe into solid foods such as meat roast or poultry breasts, push the probe in from a straight downward position or in from the side to the center position. If placing into a semi-liquid or liquid product, the probe cable must be secured to keep the probe positioned properly. Do not let the probe tip touch the edges, bottom or side of a container. Tape the probe cable to the lip or edge of the container.

NOTE: When cooking by probe, insert the probe into the raw product after the oven has been preheated.

WAIT ONE FULL MINUTE to allow the probe temperature to decrease to the internal temperature of the product. Press the start button to begin the cooking process after this probe temperature adjustment period. A false probe reading of the internal product temperature will cause the oven to default to a holding temperature.

Fan Speed:

The fan speed can be adjusted to HIGH or LOW during any preheat or cook cycle (including presets). When high speed is selected, the underscore bar below the Fan Speed key will illuminate. The display will indicate “FnHi”. When low speed is selected, the underscore bar below the Fan Speed key will not be illuminated. The display will indicate “FnLo”.

NOTE: The time and temperature can be adjusted during the cooking mode, (unless a preset key program is used).

Probe Calibration:

1.To verify product probe calibration, place the probe in a warm glass of water along with a quality independent digital thermometer and press the probe key for two (2) seconds to display the probes actual temperature. Compare readings.

2.If calibration is required, press the probe key for eight (8) seconds until the unit beeps twice and the probe offset is displayed. Adjust the probe offset to match the difference between the independent probe temperature and the control probe temperature by pressing the up or down arrows to increase or decrease the offset.

3.Repeat steps 1 and 2 to verify the probe calibration as necessary.
