The User Interface at a Glance

2.1  How the User Interface Works
How it works
easy Touch is the name of the control interface for your combi oven. You can use the touch screen to easily operate the corresponding software with your finger.
All of the combi oven’s functions can be accessed using the easy Touch user interface’s various menus. These menus will provide the functions in the form of buttons.
After selecting functions, both user information and prompts are used to guide the operator in process menus. If necessary, the operator can make changes to sequences in these process menus.
The process menus will show a sequence’s progress with a progress bar, as well as the relevant time and temperature information. An acoustic signal, combined with the appropriate user information, will be used by the unit to signal the end of the sequence.

Optional functions
The software functions described in these operating instructions are not available for all unit versions.

Starten der Software
After you turn on your combi oven using the easy Touch control panel, the unit will run a self-diagnostic routine. If the software is ready for use, the main menu for selecting an operating mode will appear.
For more information, please refer to ‘Main Menu.’ on page 10 The following operating modes will be available here:

  • Individual cooking
  • Rethermalization
  • Press & Go
  • Convo Sense (optional)
  • Cookbook
  • Cleaning

If Press&Go mode is set in the software, the combi oven will start the pre- heat function immediately; please refer to ‘Fast Cooking with Press & Go’ on page 30 as well.

What do I need for cooking?
To cook food with your combi oven, you will need a cooking profile that is appropriate for the food being cooked. You can enter a new cooking profile with the ‘Individual cooking’ menu. You can also select a suitable cooking profile from the ones available in the ‘Cookbook’ menu and start it. If ‘Press & Go’ mode is set in the software, all you have to do is select the cooking profile you want and start it. All the cooking profiles available in ‘Press & Go’ are defined in the ‘Cookbook.’ Before starting a cooking sequence, read and understand the rules, risks, and hazards associated with safely using the unit (as described in the operating manual) and follow all the corresponding in‐ structions.

Fast cooking with Press&Go

5.1  How Press &Go Works
Fast cooking with Press &Go
You can use the ‘Press&Go’ feature to provide operators with specific pre- defined cooking profiles that they will be able to select, but not modify. Once an operator selects the cooking profile they want, the corresponding cooking sequence will start immediately. You can set up a password for access to the ‘main menu,’ and to the entire user interface as a result, so that ‘Press&Go’ users will only be able to access the user interface if they have the corresponding password.
For cooking profiles to be available on the ‘Press&Go’ menu, they first need to be added to product groups in the ‘Cookbook’ menu.
You can also limit the oven cleaning profiles available on ‘Press&Go.’

Cooking with multiple cooking profiles simultaneously
The ‘Press&Go’ feature makes it possible to cook multiple product batches (consisting either of the same product or of multiple products from a single product group) on different shelf levels simultaneously.
However, only cooking profiles that have the exact same cooking temperature, cooking functions, and extra functions will be available for selection when attempting to use them simultaneously. This means that the only parameter that can vary among cooking profiles being used simultaneously is the cooking time.
As soon as you open the unit door to place another product batch into the oven, any cooking sequences in progress will be paused. As soon as you close the unit door, they will resume. The system will monitor all cooking sequences and automatically let the operator know when each product can be taken out.
You can cancel a cooking profile’s cooking sequence for one or more product batches without affecting the remaining cooking sequences.

Automatic Cooking with ConvoSense

6.1  How ConvoSense Works
Automatic Cooking with ConvoSense
When cooking with the ConvoSense assistance system, specific predefined cooking profiles are automatically recognized by the unit when food is placed in and are then cooked fully automatically. The operator places the food in and the cooking sequence starts immediately after the unit door  is closed.
Cooking profiles that should be available for automatic cooking must be previously defined in the Cookbook.
If food is recognized incorrectly, this can be easily corrected with the software.
During the cooking sequence, both user information and prompts are used to guide the operator through the various successive process pages.
An acoustic signal, combined with the appropriate user information, will be used by the unit to signal the end of the cooking sequence.

Using the Cookbook

7.1  How the Cookbook Works
Accessing the ‘Cookbook’ menu
This menu is password-protected and can only be accessed by specific users in order to make changes to existing cooking profiles, product groups, and favorites if necessary.
The cooking profiles in the Cookbook
A cooking profile is a combination of cooking parameters, such as cooking temperature and cooking time.
New cooking profiles are entered using the ‘Individual cooking’ menu and can be saved in the ‘Cookbook.’ This Cookbook can hold up to 399 cooking profiles with up to 20 cooking steps.
Saved cooking profiles can be accessed in the ‘Cookbook’ menu at any time in order to start cooking.
The ‘individual cooking’ menu can be used to edit cooking profiles and save them after making changes. And, of course, you can also delete cooking profiles entirely from the ‘Cookbook’ as necessary.
In addition, you can group cooking profiles into product groups in order to keep things more manageable. When you do so, the product groups will also be available in ‘Press&Go.’
Switching between cookbooks
You can use the ‘Settings’ to manage more than one cookbook. For instance, you can select a different cookbook and modify the cooking profiles or add new ones.
If you have a cookbook that you are using with other Convotherm combi ovens and would like to use it with this one as well, you can simply export and import the cookbook using the units’ USB port.

Cleaning

8.1  The Cleaning Sequences at a Glance
What do I need for cleaning?
To clean the inside of your combi oven, you will need to use a cleaning profile that is adequate for the degree of soiling. You can select this profile in the ‘Cleaning’ menu.
Before starting a cleaning sequence, read and understand the rules, risks, and hazards associated with safely cleaning the unit (as described in the operating manual) and follow all the corresponding instructions.
During the cleaning sequence, both user information and prompts are used to guide the operator in the process menu.
An acoustic signal, combined with the appropriate user information, will be used by the unit to signal the end of the cleaning sequence.

Available cleaning profiles
The ‘Cleaning’ menu has various cleaning profiles available for oven cleaning:

  • Rinsing with water only
  • Fully automatic cleaning: Adjustable cleaning profiles for varying levels of soiling and various clean‐ ing times, with steam disinfection and drying functions available
  • Cleaning with rinse aid only
  • Semi-automatic cleaning
