CONVECTION MODE CHEF OPERATING TIPS
The Convection Mode can be used to roast or bake products 
needing very short cooking times or for high moisture 
products such as mufns, cakes, and cookies, or for 
browning the surface of the food.
The Convection mode works best with low moisture foods or 
for very moist food which require a dryer nished product.
For baking, preheat the Combitherm at a temperature of 
325°F to 375°F (163°C to 191°C). Once preheated, reset the 
temperature as required.
 A higher cooking temperature results in heavier browning 
but also results in greater product weight loss. To achieve 
additional browning set the Humidity control into the 
product procedure.
When cooking by probe, the probe must be inserted so 
that the tip is positioned in the center of the food mass. For 
liquid or semi-liquid foods, suspend the probe in the center 
of the product and secure the probe wire to the edge of the 
container.
