Feuerbach coined this expression when he reviewed a book

on nutrition in 1850. He was of course right. We are what we eat.

Or we will soon become it... It is therefore important that we eat correctly.

For most of us nowadays the main meal of the day is prepared

in a catering kitchen. So it is even more important than ever

that the food served is appetising and nutritious.

We help make sure this is the case with our new Electrolux Cook and Chill

air-o-system. With our precise (patented) humidity control

and air circulation within the cooking chamber it is now even easier.

L. Feuerbach, German philosopher, 1804-72

Combi cycle

Max. 250 °C

Steam cycle

25 °C to 130 °C

There are 3 steam cooking modes,

• Low Temperature Steam where you can select from 25 up to 99 °C

• Normal Steam cooking at 100 °C

• Super Heated Steam from 101 up to 130 °C

Steaming is ideal for all foods that can be cooked in water (with exception to

pasta), low temperature steam cooking is perfect for delicate foods, sous – vide

while super heated steam is excellent for frozen vegetables for example.

Electrolux has a unique Humidity Control system called “Lambda Sensor” which

guarantees precise humidity control and when steaming foods this guarantees

100% steam saturation inside the cooking chamber.

This cycle uses dry hot air with a maximum temperature of 300 °C.

We have today 3 types of Convection cooking available, the first is with

the oven’s vent in the closed position, the second is with the vent open and

third we use the Lambda Sensor to keep the humidity level at the optimum

for giving perfect cooking results. The Lambda Sensor is measuring

the humidity coming from the food and does not use steam from the boiler.

Convection cooking is ideal for roasting meats, grilling meats on the oven

grid, au gratin, breads, pastries, fresh or frozen convenience products,

baking and browning.

When selecting a temperature of 300 °C we have a time limit of 10 minutes

after which the oven will automatically reduce the temperature to 280 °C.

Convection cycle

Max. 300 °C

This cycle is a combination of Convection and Steam cooking modes

having a maximum temperature of 250 °C. It’s ideal for meat with bone,

example – poultry, ribs, saddle etc. Also stuffed vegetables, lasagne, seafood,

some bakery products and desserts.

Advantages; Reduced cooking and re –heating times, less food shrinkage

meaning higher yields, perfect baking results and with the aid of the

Lambda Sensor you are able to select the perfect humidity level to give

you the best results.

For Proving Dough’s select Combi and a temperature below 50 °C,

we suggest 33deg, you will see “Fer” in the humidity display which means

“Fermenting” and the Humidity level is automatically controlled by the oven. The

fan also runs at a reduced speed for a gentle environment.

network (HACCP advanced).

Semi automatic cleaning cycle

Requires manual detergent spraying inside cooking chamber when prompted

by display reading “SOAP”. At end of cycle use intergrated hand shower to

rinse out cooking chamber.

1/2 fan speed

For delicate cooking such as baking cakes, soufflés, fish, large roasts, filets,

and other delicate foods. Compatible with all cooking cycles.

1/2 energy

For small loads and overnight cooking, avoids power peaks and reduces

running costs.

ECO-Delta

Enables you to select either “Linear” delta single phase cooking cycle or

“Progressive” multi-phase cycle for superior quality and reduced weight loss.

Cooking chamber exhaust valve control

Keeps the exhaust valve open to avoid excess humidity in the chamber.

Manual water injection

By pressing this button you will get 30 seconds of high humidity injection to

cooking chamber. Ideal for “crusting” bread.

If you require less time simply push the botton again to stop humidity injection.

Manual boiler emptying

By pressing this button you will activate the drain valve, LED light above button

will illuminate. To close the drain valve push button again, the LED light will blink

to indicate closing.

Quick cool down

Quick cool down can be activated manually to pass from one type of cooking

to another. Quick cool down is activated automatically when necessary

(e.g. before air-o-clean starts if temperature in the air-o-steam® is above 70 °C).

Useful tips for cooking

with air-o-steam®

air-o-steam®

When the appliance is energised (turned on) the digital display will do a self

“lamp” test where by all the display panel will illuminate for a few seconds.

Control panel has very bold illuminated digital display which can be easily read

from up to 11 metres away.

At the end of a cooking cycle “END” appears and flashes to let the operator

know the cooking cycle has ended, This is very important in a busy noisy

kitchen as quite often the operator does not hear the end of cycle alarm and

foods can be over cooked.

Note; Every time a cooking mode is selected, temperature set and either a

cooking time or core temperature target set, when you press the start/stop

button the oven will automatically Pre Heat. If the temperature you have

selected is 130 °C or less the oven will heat up to that set point.

If the temperature you have selected is higher than 130 °C then the oven will

automatically pre heat 20 °C higher to help compensate for the heat loss when

door is opened to load with product.

Note; when oven is not used for some minutes the lights will turn off to save

energy.

Steam mode, When you press this button the temperature display will show

100 °C which is the default setting, If you want either “Low” or “Super heated”

steam then press the temperature button and select any temperature between

25 up to 130 °C.

Combi mode, ( combination of Steam and Convection – dry hot air ). When

you select this cooking mode you will see in the coloured bar the number

50, this is the pre set Humidity level. If you want a different % of humidity

simply push the combi button a second time and using the main control dial

select the level you desire while the number is flashing.

The Humidity level is controlled by a Lambda sensor – Unique to

Electrolux! measuring the REAL humidity within the cooking chamber.

Whether cooking a single portion or full load you are able to control

the level of humidity you desire.

Convection mode – 3 choices.

When selecting convection mode the cycle will operate with “vent closed”

trapping the humidity coming from the food being cooked inside the oven.

This can create some problems regarding “browning” as too much humidity

will make browning – meats in particular – difficult.

Cooking modes are simple to select and feature the following:

18 electrolux user guide

Press the convection mode button a second time and you can now select

(using the main control knob) the level of humidity you desire. This is

controlled by a second “inlet vent”. So that when the level of humidity you

have selected is reached (this humidity being “relative humidity”), it is displayed

in blue on the coloured bar together with red (indicating the percentage of

humidity and dry air visually).

The vent will automatically open and being positioned within the circumference

of the oven fan where a negative force (vacuum) is generated, it will allow fresh

air from the kitchen to be drawn into the oven chamber.

This “fresh” air is then blown through the heating elements into the cooking

chamber, which has no detrimental effect on the product you are cooking

(as the air is pre – heated) and which will then force the humidified air out

of the second vent.

Once the level of humidity has been stabilised the vents automatically

close again.

Third choice of Convection cooking is with oven vent open fully during

cooking, this is achieved by entering “advanced functions” and selecting the

open vent symbol which allows a continuous release of humidity from the

oven chamber.

Every time you select a cooking cycle either manually or from the program

library, the oven will automatically “pre-heat” to ensure the correct temperature

is reached prior to loading. If you select a temperature up to 130 °C the

cooking chamber will pre-heat up to that temperature. If you select

a temperature above 130 °C the oven will automatically pre-heat 20 °C higher

to compensate temperature loss when door is opened to load product.

When oven is ready, it will beep and display “LOAD” on the control panel.

After loading the product into the oven, close the door and press the

START

STOP button to activate the cooking cycle. If you forget this step the oven will

remain on pre-heating and timer will not be activated.

air-o-steam®

The oven has 100 free spaces for operators to store cooking programs.

Plus 4 pre – heating cycles, “baking – roasting – steaming & banquet”

Plus 4 cleaning cycles – soft – medium – strong & extra strong. When

the cleaning cycle has ended and the oven is not touched for two

minutes it will automatically turn itself onto “Standby mode”. All you

will see on the display is “Stby” which means Standby. The only

electrical energy being used is for the LCD screen.

The next time someone touches the oven it will start automatically.

Plus 21 memorised cooking cycles which start with the letter “F” to

denote they are factory set cooking cycles.

19electrolux user guide

The Pause mode can be utilised in several functions

To delay the starting of the appliance (remember that you have 6 phases each

with up to 8 hours of controlled time) so in theory you could use 5 phases,

giving 5 x 8 which = 40 hrs of pause mode (which means only the timer is

operating, no power to elements or fan) then the 6th phase could be used to

pre –heat the oven ready for use.

To give a “rest period” within a cooking cycle, for example if cooking a large

Turkey you may select to start the cooking cycle with convection at a higher

than normal cooking temperature to “adhere” the spices to the skin. Then you

may wish to allow the oven temperature to fall slowly so the second phase

could be a pause mode for 10 minutes. The third phase could then be a

combi cycle which then introduces steam into the oven chamber etc.

As a Safety feature at the end of cooking cycles, important when appliances

are installed in “Chain operations” where unskilled young adults are working.

This allows the cooking time for example, Muffins which may take 18 minutes,

the 1st cooking phase would be set at 16 minutes and the second phase

would be a pause mode set at 2 minutes.

At the second phase the oven heating elements and fan turn off, as the fan

takes approx. 1 1/2 minutes to stop rotating it is still circulating hot air around

the food being cooked thus not affecting the final result.

When the timer goes off and the audible alarm sounds indicating cycle has

ended, when the operator opens the oven door there is no rush of hot air

being blown out as the fan has already stopped.

ECO - Delta Cooking

It is a unique method of controlling the oven chamber temperature in

conjunction with the core temperature of the food. The operator is able

to select a “delta” value between 1 °C < 120 °C, we recommend using

between 20 °C < 70 °C

An example of Linear ECO - Delta Cooking

This type of cooking is ideally suited to large joints of meat and the way to

use it is to select the cooking mode, e.g. Combi. Then select a core

temperature value, then go into functions and select ECO - Delta. At this

point you will see on the oven temperature display “20 °C” which is a “delta”

value you may select. Using the dial knob select the “delta” value you wish,

for example 40 °C.

Close the oven door and press the start button to activate the cooking cycle

(if you wish you could also put in the second phase of a pause mode for

2 minutes, this would start when the core temperature you selected had been

reached).

The core temperature of the meat may be for example 14 °C when the

cooking cycle has started, the oven temperature will then go to approx. 54

°C, which is 40 °C above the core temperature. As the core temperature

of the meat rises by one degree so too does the oven temperature, with the

difference being maintained at 40 °C which is the “delta” value you selected.

If you selected a final core temperature of say 68 °C then the oven chamber

temperature would be 108 °C at the end of the cooking cycle.

This cooking method is much slower than the “normal” way of cooking but

the benefits are higher yields which translate to bigger profits!

Note For a more detailed explanation of ECO - Delta cooking refer

to page 36.

“Selected Temperature” and the “Actual Temperature”

“Selected Time” and the “Time Remaining”

“Selected Core Temperature” and the “Actual Core Temperature”

This is to let the operator know (and supervisors) what has been selected for

various cooking cycles, should an operator select the wrong choice then it’s

easier for another person to see this and correct it.

During a cooking cycle, if the operator/supervisor sees that a wrong

temperature, time, cooking mode etc has been selected, to correct it they

simply press the correct button and hold for a few seconds which will then

prompt the display to “flash”.

At this point the correct input can be made then the oven will memorise this

and change the cycle accordingly, without having to stop and restart the cycle.

After 2 hours of steam operation, the air-o-steam® memory will send a

command to release the water from the steam generator. This will only

happen when the water temperature inside the boiler drops to 50 °C or below,

normally the next time the oven’s main power is turned on.

At the end of any of the 4 Cleaning cycles the oven will automatically go on

“stand-by” mode which turns power off to the steam generator elements,

shuts off the oven lights so the only energy consumption is on the led display.

This allows the operator to start a cleaning cycle then go home.

air-o-steam® Combi Oven

Has reached for the future with a precise control of both humidity

and air circulation within the cooking chamber

Even while cooking with Convection (Dry) forced air you can select a humidity

level for optimum results.

With a new airflow system and a larger oven cavity uneven cooking is a thing

of the past.

The following is a brief explanation of the various cooking modes available and

how to best use them for optimum results.

Humidity and Cooking

Having the option now to be able to select a “humidity” level while using

either the Combi or Convection cooking modes enables (with practice)

the Chef/operator to fine tune the cooking procedure to optimise results.

You must realise that food is a delicate product and ALL food consists

mostly of moisture, for example meats are at least 88% water,

vegetables even higher.

With the two different cooking modes you have two different humidity factors

to take into consideration, firstly with Convection cooking you are able

to select (by pressing the Convection mode button twice) a humidity level

you don’t wish to exceed. This humidity you will find present in the oven

chamber once the food starts heating up and cooking is coming ONLY

from the food itself.

This is very noticeable when cooking, for example, a full load of beef rissoles,

as with the amount of moisture coming out from the product you can get in

excess of 90% humidity, this then makes “browning” very difficult.

With the Electrolux patented Humidity control system you can select as

an example 30% humidity and when the ACTUAL humidity level approaches

30% the oven will automatically discharge humidity into the airspace above

the oven.

When cooking with the Combi cycle the humidity level is normally set

at 50%, this humidity is coming from the steam generator and introduced

to the cooking chamber via a vent pipe.

Now you have the possibility to also select a desired humidity level which will

be controlled by the oven through the patented Humidity control system

using a “lambda” sensor so when cooking for example ribs (mostly bone with

little meat) you need a higher humidity level than if you were cooking a large

roast beef. The reason is you must help the ribs retain as much moisture as

possible to get a nice juicy meat.

23electrolux user guide

air-o-steam®

Convection

Dry Hot air cycle

With a maximum available temperature of 300 °C, this cycle is mainly used

for baking products such as bread, pastries, cakes, biscuits, pies, flans,

strudels etc.

Quick grilling of meats (steaks, cutlets, rissoles, burgers etc.)

As with all cooking modes it is very important to pre-heat the oven prior

to placing the food inside, generally pre-heat the oven to 30-50 °C abovethe

desired cooking temperature.

When grilling steaks at 250-270 °C pre-heat the air-o-steam® to 300 °C

for at least 10 minutes first.

With oven ventilation closed

This is activated by selecting open ventilation from the Advanced functions.

Again on this cycle a maximum temperature of 300 °C is attainable - for

a maximum time of 10 minutes.

This cycle is used for cooking for example puff pastry sheets for custard slice,

browning and crisping skin on poultry, pork etc.

Cooking full loads of meat rissoles, which as they heat up produce excessive

humidity levels, the open vent allows excessive humidity to escape.

24 electrolux user guide

air-o-steam®

Convection cooking

Cooking with the Electrolux patented air-o-clima Humidity level control

(activated by pressing the convection mode selection button twice)

This cycle lets you program a maximum humidity level to be obtained

within the cooking chamber. This is a necessity, as during cooking all types

of food when it starts heating up, moisture from within the food escapes

creating humidity inside the oven.

This is evident when opening the door and observing the steam rise into

the kitchen.

When cooking full load of, for example, chicken or meat rissoles, the amount

of humidity within the cooking chamber (vent closed) can reach in excess

of 95%!

Electrolux has overcome this problem thanks to its patented air-o-clima

humidity control system! Just select the humidity level you desire and leave

the rest up to the Electrolux air-o-steam® Combi Oven.

25electrolux user guide

air-o-steam®

Combi Cooking mode

Combination of convection and steam cooking.

In this cooking mode the maximum attainable temperature is 250 °C

This cycle is best used for cooking all types of meat on the bone including

seafood and for the regeneration of pre-cooked foods.

When cooking meats (and remember the water content in most meats

exceeds 88%) the steam is assisting heat transfer into the food mass thus

accelerating the cooking process.

Steam is ideal for cooking these foods, but the maximum temperature being

only 100 °C it is impossible to obtain the desired browning (caused by the

caramelisation of meat juices).

With the Combination cooking mode a temperature of 250 °C can be

obtained, because the cavity is heated (either by electric elements or gas

heated tubes). It is therefore possible to obtain the desired browning effect.

The patented air-o-clima humidity control system is the only system that

determines the real humidity level inside the cavity of the oven, through direct

measurement using a Lambda sensor.

This system allows for real humidity control through injection of steam only

when necessary, and the aspiration into the cavity of dry air when humidity

level inside the cavity is in excess of the desired level for optimum cooking

results.

All you need to do is select the desired humidity level by twice pressing the

combi mode selection button, then using the main control dial to select

humidity %.

The air-o-clima will automatically keep the humidity, temperature and clima

inside the cavity at the ideal levels.

Using the Electrolux patented air-o-clima humidity control system

26 electrolux user guide

air-o-steam®

Steam cycle

This cycle is used for a wide variety of cooking needs, most foods traditionally

boiled in a pot can be cooked on this cycle, the benefits include reduced

cooking times, better quality, retention of nutrients, vitamins, colour and most

importantly flavour.

Remember to use perforated cooking pans to allow the distribution of fan

forced steam around the product and not to overload the pans with food.

For optimum results 65 mm pans should be the deepest used.

Perforated pans also allow the condensation to escape so the product is not

sitting in water.

The Electrolux air-o-steam® level ‘A’ Combi oven guarantees 100% Steam

Saturation inside the cooking chamber regardless of the temperature selected.

This is controlled using the LAMBDA Sensor-Unique to Electrolux.

Steam cycle-maximum temperature 100 °C

To select “Super Heated Steam” press the steam button, now press the

temperature button and use main control dial to select a steaming temperature

between 101 °C up to 130 °C.

Super heated steam-maximum temperature 130 °C

With a temperature range from 25 to 100 °C, the Steam cooking mode is also

ideal for cooking delicate foods such as small fish fillets, scallops, scampi,

chicken breast, sausages, sous-vide, leafy vegetables, light egg custards etc.

Low temperature steam cycle

It is not always the case that the Chefs or operators are cooking large

quantities of food, thus when loading up to 40% of the ovens capacity you

have the option of selecting either half energy (power) and/or half fan speed to

reduce operating costs.

Another benefit is when cooking very delicate items such as soufflé or

meringues, you can select low fan speed to prevent “pulling” foods into the

direction of fan.

Full or half Energy Power and/or Fan Speed

27electrolux user guide

air-o-steam®

Super steam cycle

Super Steam is using the assistance of the air-o-steam® heating elements to

boost the chamber temperature (also possible in gas heated models) thus

speeding up the cooking process of more robust foods such as Potatoes,

Sweet Potatoes, Pumpkin, Rice, some meats etc.

Super Heated Steam is ideal for cooking frozen vegetables for example, as

the temperature recovery is much faster due to the assistance of the oven

heating system.

Note that this cycle should never be used for cooking green vegetables as

the high temperature will spoil the foods natural colour, texture and taste.

And there’s More!!!

Other options include the following

This is a method of using two or more styles of cooking for the same food

for example roast loin of pork:

The first step is to steam the pork as this keeps it moist and finally finishing

with a Combi cycle, then using a convection cycle with vent open to

crispen skin.

Cook step 1 (or phase 1)

After pre-heating the oven (on Combi cycle to 110 °C), place the pork which

has been put on a wire grid over a roasting pan into the oven.

Insert the core temperature probe, select steam cycle at 100 °C, select a core

temperature of 65 °C then go to cook step 2.

Sequential cooking

Cook step 2 (or phase 2)

Select Combi cycle with a humidity level of 40%, set oven temperature

at 190 °C with a core temperature set at 72 °C, then go to cook step 3.

Cook step 3 (or phase 3)

Select convection cycle with ventilation open and set oven temperature at

260 °C and core temperature at 76 °C, now press the start button to start

cooking cycle, commencing with cook step 1 and finishing with cook step 3.

Tip: Scoring the pork skin with a knife every 1 cm and rubbing it with salt over

the surface will assist in achieving crisp skin.

L.T.C. Low Temperature

Cooking in AOS

Low Temperature Cooking has been developed over a period of time with vast testing in our own laboratory and in

conjunction with the University of Udine Italy. Using this method guarantees optimum yields every time from all types

of meat that would be otherwise roasted in the “traditional” way.

Another factor determining yields is whether or not the meat has been “manipulated” meaning if it has been

“boned out” stuffed with a filling, rolled and tied as you would with a shoulder joint or loin for example.

If the meat being cooked is a single piece meaning a leg with bone in, prime beef rib on the bone then the yields

are higher due to the meat not being cut open to remove the bone which increases the surface area being

exposed to heat during cooking.

Another tip is NOT to use any salt on the meat prior to cooking as all this does is “draw out” water from the meat which

can result in up to an additional 7% weight loss !! and has NO effect on the meats taste.

Season the meat AFTER it has been cooked.

30 electrolux user guide

In the Electrolux AOS – air o steam oven you will find

the LTC program in the library, press the P button

and turn main control dial to find Low Temperature

Cooking. Press the start / stop button to activate the

cycle which will go through a sequence as described

below; Another tip is to hang the 6 point multi sensor

probe out over the top of oven door during the

preheating phase so it’s not hot to handle later.

• First the oven will preheat, indicated by “Preh”

on the led screen where the temperature display

is normally. The factory default temperature for the

preheating phase is 140 °C, if you prefer you can

press the temp button and using the main control

dial select a higher temperature. All this will do is

increase the browning of the meat during the initial

cooking phase.

Prepare the meat by placing it on a wire grid ( not in

a roasting pan ) and rub with herbs, mustard etc to

your desire.

• When oven has preheated it will Beep and you will

see “Load” appear, open the door with caution and

place the meat inside on the rack, place an empty

gastronorm container below on the next runner to

capture any fat melting off the meat. Insert the probe

( if cooking pork with skin on make a small hole with

a sharp knife to enable easy penetration of the probe

shaft ) then select a target core temperature.

• Close oven door, now you will see “strt” on

the display, press the start / stop button again

to continue the cycle, Now the oven goes into a

“Searing” phase which lasts approx 10 minutes at

the same temperature used for pre heating, this is to

“Seal” the meat, kill surface bacteria and to brown

the outer surface of the meat.

• After the “Searing” phase has finished then the oven goes into “Rapid Cool Down” and will stop when the oven

temperature has fallen to approx 20 °C Above the target core temperature you have selected. So if your target is 60 °C

then the oven will cool down to 80 °C.

• Now the “Maturing” phase ( low temp cooking ) starts, the fan in the oven cycles on & off with half speed to create a

gentle airflow around the meat, as the core temperature of the meat rises the oven temperature will slowly keep falling.

• When the target core temperature has been reached the temperature inside the oven will be 5 °C above your target core

temp. The oven then switches off until the oven temp falls to the same as your target core temp.

• Now the “Hold” phase starts, this is a gentle cycle where the fan turns on approx 2 seconds every 2 minutes at half

speed.

Every 40 minutes the oven will do a total air exchange for 1 minute to prevent bad odors building up.

• The LTC cycle has a recommended maximum time frame of 24 hours, from when the meat is first placed in the oven

to when they should be taken out. With “red” meats for every 1 hour in the Holding phase it equates to approx 2 days

“hanging” so it becomes even more tender.

The 6-Point multi sensor probe is like having an expert watching over your

food while it is being cooked or regenerated.

All the guesswork has been eliminated and now your food will always be

cooked to perfection.

The Electrolux 6-Point multi sensor Probe has 6 sensors for more precise

measurement of temperature. Of the six temperature measurements taken,

only the lowest is taken into consideration. This guarantees that even if the

core probe is not perfectly positioned within the food product, perfect cooking

results are achieved, under perfectly safe cooking conditions.

The following is a guide to core temperatures for achieving best cooking

results in various foods (pg 30 and 31).

Cooking with the Electrolux 6-Point Multi Sensor Probe

This cycle is preferred during a meal service period which may run for

2-3 hours for example. You can choose a cooking mode and oven

temperature, for example, combi cycle at 30% humidity with an oven

temperature of 155 °C, then instead of selecting a time value (or core

temperature value) the continuous mode is selected.

Then press the start button to activate the continuous cycle, the air-o-steam®

will run continuously until it is stopped.

Continuous cycle also runs when using the “Holding phase”.

The cook and hold method was developed hundreds years ago (in the days

before the modern oven) when tribesmen would dig a hole in the ground and

make a big fire heating river stones. When the flames died down they would

cover the hot stones with large leaves, lay large pieces of meat over the

leaves, cover the meat with more leaves then bury (cover with a layer of 1/2

meter soil) the lot.

This was left to slow “Cook and Hold” for the entire day, to be dug up and

consumed in the early evening (after the sun had gone down) with the result

being a tender and juicy piece of meat with little shrinkage.

Now you can duplicate this (without filling the oven with soil) by selecting the

first cooking phase, oven and core temperature value, then proceeding to

phase 2 and choosing the “Hold” function.

Now you select a holding temperature, remember that this is the temperature

inside the oven cavity. Once the desired core temperature (and remember to

set the core temperature value approx. 5 °C lower than if you were going to

cook and remove the product without Holding) value has been reached the

oven will switch from a Cooking cycle to a Holding cycle and remain so until

you stop the cycle and remove the product.

This method of cooking is best suited for large joints of meat in excess

of 8 kg, for example Roast Beef.

Cook and Hold

HOLD

Cook step 1 (or phase 1)

Select Combi cooking mode at 40% humidity, oven temperature at 120 °C

and core temperature at 55 °C with the 6-Point multi sensor probe inserted.

Then select 1/2 energy and 1/2 fan speed, then go to second cook step.

Cook step 2 (or phase 2)

Using the Program control set, select with the main control knob from

the menu “Add hold”. Now select the oven holding temperature of 60 °C,

then press the Start Button to activate cycle. The Cook and Hold cycle is

now in operation.

ECO - Delta cooking is a special cooking process ensuring high quality

results in all types of large joints for roasting. The process guarantees a

constant difference (“delta”) between the core temperature of the food to be

cooked and the temperature inside the oven cavity.

This “delta” cooking cavity temperature value can be set (we recommend)

anywhere in the range of 30-70 °C (Convection cycle) or 20-50 °C

(Combi cycle) higher than the core temperature value and increases

proportionally with it. The full range of temperature can be set between

1 °C up to 120 °C.

Special ECO - Delta

Advantages:

• Extremely low energy and water consumption

• Excellent quality and minimum shrinkage

• Cooking can be shifted to quiet periods or night-time

• Higher quality through gentle cooking process

• There are two types of ECO - Delta cooking; “Linear” and “Progressive”

•Linear this is when the temperature difference between the core product and

oven cavity remain constant.

•Progressive This is when the temperature difference between the core

product and oven cavity closes towards the end of the cooking process. e.g.

•Start of cycle

core temperature is +12 °C “delta” 35 °C - oven temperature will be 47 °C

core temperature is +35 °C “delta” 35 °C - oven temperature will be 70 °C

core temperature is +55 °C “delta” 20 °C - oven temperature will be 75 °C

core temperature is +58 °C “delta” 10 °C - oven temperature will be 68 °C

core temperature is +60 °C “delta” 5 °C - oven temperature will be 65 °C

the food probe inserted into the ice cream.

The target temperature for freezing is set at -14 °C and the working

temperature inside the cabinet is set at -20 °C. When the ice cream has

reached -14 °C, air-o-chill automatically switches over to the freeze holding

mode.

79electrolux user guide

air-o-chill®

Useful tips for Blast Chilling

With the new Electrolux air-o-chill® Blast chiller/freezer it is not necessary

to pre-chill appliance prior to loading and starting of cycle for most products.

Very small items may require air-o-chill® to be turned on approx.

5 minutes prior to loading. This enables the “Prep” cycle to run then

the chilling process will start.

Remember to always have the plug in place – in the drain outlet inside cavity.

Check the pull out plastic tray under the appliance prior to using each

day – tip out any water and clean with detergent and replace.

The drain outlet can also be connected using a hose to a floor drain for

convenience.

80 electrolux user guide

air-o-chill®

Soft Chilling

Remember the air temperature inside the cavity will be minus 2 °C

Pasta and similar foods

Firstly cook the pasta to “just done” (slightly under-cooked), remove from

cooking vessel and drain well – do not rinse with cold water as this will remove

most of the flavour.

Have ready the required number of 2 1/2” (65 mm) deep stainless steel pans

(not plastic as it is a poor conductor of heat and cold), and splash a little good

quality olive oil in base of pans.

Pour in the hot pasta – sprinkle a little more olive oil over and give it a stir prior

to loading into air-o-chill®.

During the blast chilling cycle, stir the pasta approx. every 5 minutes, touch

underside of pan and when cold, the pasta is ready to transfer to normal

chiller or walk-in cool room. Always cover with a lid or plastic wrap when

transferring to storage.

Don’t allow pasta to remain into air-o-chill® for too long as it will freeze and

thus be of poor quality.

• vegetables grown above the ground

• seafood

• small portions of meat e.g. chicken breast fillet, ribs

• egg custard

• pastries, small cakes, biscuits

• pasta

Remember that the maximum depth pan to use is 2 1/2” (65 mm) and a gap

of at least 1-1 1/2” (20-30 mm) must be allowed between the top of one

pan and the bottom of the pan above, to allow sufficient cold air to circulate

around the pans.

Always supervise the chilling process; most foods don’t require the full time of

cycle to chill down ready for transferring to a holding chiller or cold room.

Follow these guides for good results:

Soft Chilling - cycle is for delicate foods e.g.

81electrolux user guide

air-o-chill®

After cooking vegetables, e.g. in a steamer – remember to cook to “just

cooked” stage as they will still cook slightly more until they have started to chill

– if you normally cook beans for 6 minutes, reduce the cooking time

by 2 minutes as the time taken to remove from steamer and place into the

air-o-chill® will equate to having allowed the full 6 minutes of cooking time.

Vegetables

If cooking fillets of fish, try to only cook until the core temperature inside

the fish reads approx. 72 °C as the flesh will continue cooking after taking

out of oven.

It is not necessary to cover the fish when placing inside the air-o-chill® – this

applies to nearly all food, as covering will only lengthen the chilling process.

This is due to the cold air not coming into direct contact with the food.

Never stack fillets (cooked) on top of each other, it is best to use extra pans

which will also speed up the chilling process – again watch them – don’t allow

to freeze. If the fillets are thick enough insert the probe into one of them.

Seafood

82 electrolux user guide

air-o-chill®

Hard Chilling

Remember that the air temperature inside the cavity will be approx. minus 20 °C

• vegetables grown below the ground

• soups

• stocks and sauces

• stews and casseroles

• whole joints of meat and poultry – don’t put in joints larger than approx.

4-5 kg as it is difficult for the cold air to penetrate into centre unless it is

long strip like loin etc.

When chilling liquid based products, use the 2 1/2” (65 mm) deep s/steel pans

and fill to 3/4 for ease of handling when hot.

For optimum results use the 2” (40 mm) deep pans. Allow a space between

each pan of approx. 1-1 1/2” (25/30 mm) for chilled air circulation.

Some foods, e.g. stews, curry etc. are chilled faster if during the chilling cycle

they are gently stirred to blend in the cold food around edge of pan.

Using the core temperature probe. Try to use the core temperature probe

as this will monitor the internal temperature of the food being chilled.

When the hot food has been placed inside the air-o-chill®, insert the probe

before starting the cycle.

The air-o-chill® will know when the probe is being used due to the difference

in temperature between the probe and internal-cavity-temperature sensor.

When the probe is being used the display will show the internal temperature

of the food and when it has chilled to approx. 3 °C the chilling cycle will end.

After the cycle has ended the air-o-chill® will automatically start a defrost cycle,

then go to “holding temperature” of 3 °C.

After the defrosting cycle has ended the air-o-chill® will operate as a normal

chiller at 3 °C, e.g. if you load it with cooked product at end of day, the

appliance will hold the food at 3 °C until operator removes it next morning.

When finished with air-o-chill® always clean cavity with a soft cloth and mild

soapy water, rinse clean and sterilize using a wet cloth and white vinegar or an

approved anti-bacterial cleaner.

Leave door ajar (slightly open) using either the plug or a clean, unused piece

of sponge foam as a spacer. Remember to empty and wash drip pan under

appliance.

Hard Chilling - This cycle is used for more solid or firm foods e.g.

83electrolux user guide

air-o-chill®

Storage of food after Blast chilling

Remember to always cover food with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent drying and

odour transfer to other products in chiller

Sauce based foods, curry pastes etc. can be measured into vacuum bags

(after initial Blast chilling) then vacuum-sealed which will give a longer

shelf life – up to 35 days – depending on product.

If you require a longer shelf life, vacuum packed sauces, stocks, pastas,

casseroles etc. can be blast frozen (if you have a Blast Freezer). However if

the food is packaged in such a way that the shape of bag is like a “flat pillow”,

they can also be frozen if placed on wire grids (shelves) inside the air-o-chill®

which is set on Hard Cycle.

Lay the flat bags directly onto the cold racks (shelves) without overlapping the

bags, then let the air-o-chill® run for the complete Hard Cycle time duration.

The product will be frozen at end of cycle.

Remember to remove them once cycle has ended and transfer to a freezer

room or upright freezer; they can be held in baskets. Always label the

bags with production date/product name/volume and expiry date for future

reference.

Note to conform to most health requirements, the shelf life of products

mentioned above needs to be validated by a qualified food technologist.

This is due to ingredients used, method of preparation, handling and

cooking methods.

Product can be blast frozen either in vacuum bags, suitable sturdy plastic

containers that are no more than 40 mm deep and Gastronorm pans with

a maximum depth of 40 mm.

For optimum results when blast freezing liquid based products it is better to

first blast chill on hard cycle then place into suitable sized containers for blast

freezing.

Once product is frozen, cover with a tight fitting lid or place in airtight

container/vacuum bag to prevent dehydration in freezer.

Remember that when freezing product in vacuum sealed bags, be sure to

press flat to increase surface area which speeds up the freezing process.

If freezing small items such as vegetables, prawn cutlets, meat balls etc place

them on flat trays so they are not touching each other, once frozen they can

then be placed loose into sealed bags as “free flow”.

If you want to set a custom cycle on program 2 press the central selector

arrows button

You will see the program 2 icon becoming red colour.

Note The reason for being able to customise the time of cycle and cavity air

temperature is to allow total flexibility for the operator.

e.g.

Chilling 80 gm fillets of fish requires only 4 – 9 minutes depending on the

thickness of fillet, if you allow the cycle to run for it’s duration of 110 minutes

the fish will be frozen.

Use soft cycle for thin fillets and hard cycle for thick fillets with a temperature

of –12 °C and time of cycle to between 4 – 9 minutes. Once cycle has ended

the air o chill reverts to a holding chiller at +3 °C.

The above method applies also to:

Hard chilling, temperature range between -20 °C up to +10 °C

Positive Holding, temperature range between 0 °C up to +10 °C

Blast freezing, temperature range between -18 °C down to -35 °C

Freeze Holding, temperature range between -2 °C down to -25 °C

Fresh food directly from the freezer!

The Electrolux air-o-defrost uses a unique method of combining Low

Temperature Steam and high velocity air circulation to thaw frozen products.

The “target” thawed temperature can be set between –1 °C up to +2 °C in

increments of 1/10th of a degree.

When thawing meat for slicing it is best to thaw to -1 °C as this will facilitate

slicing as the meat will still be firm and hold it’s shape when slicing.

94 electrolux user guide

After turning on air-o-defrost

To defrost frozen products you simply place them into the perforated

containers, make a small hole in the product using the supplied “hand drill”

insert the core temperature probe, close the door, set target temperature and

leave the rest to air-o-defrost.

The thawing process involves the sensor in the probe monitoring the

product temperature, when it registers a big difference between the cabinet

temperature and core temperature the thawing process is activated.

The temperature inside the cabinet will increase via the steam generator in

steps up to +15 °C. first +7, then +10, +12 and finally +15 °C where it will

stabilise.

During the thawing mode the internal fan is on high speed with a constant

input of steam, which as it comes into contact with the frozen food

condensates back to water thus ensuring the food surface is always

very moist.

Note that the surface temperature of the food never exceeds +5 °C, this is

due to the physics of the reaction of the coldness coming from within the food

mass and passing through the foods surface. The opposite happens when

cooking food in that the temperature from the cooking appliance is penetrating

through the surface into the food mass.

Once the temperature of the food has reached 3 °C from your target

temperature then the refrigeration cycle will start and pull down the cabinet

temperature to +7 °C and stay at this temperature until the target temperature

has been reached and stabilised for 5 minutes.

The air-o-defrost cabinet will now pull down to +3 °C, the steam input will stop

and the fan speed reduce to a gentle air flow.

At approx. 40 minutes intervals the steam will input for a few seconds, this is

to keep the food product in a very moist environment.

95electrolux user guide

Capacity

The model 180 has a recommended maximum load of 35 – 40 kg

(77 – 88 lbs) and the thawing process only uses steam.

The model 1200 has a recommended maximum capacity of 150 – 200 kg

(330 – 440 lbs) and the thawing process uses both steam and heating

elements to raise the cabinet temperature to +15 °C.

Cleaning

After use clean the inside (after first removing the side support racks and rear

perforated cover) with mild detergent and warm water, rinse out then turn the

control dial to the “brush” symbol.

This will activate the steam cycle and take the cabinet temperature up to

approx. 85 °C and hold for 5 minutes. This is to sterilise the cabinet.

How to use

The following pages (132 and 133):

“Cooking cycle chart” and “Cook/ Chill/ Regeneration chart” are for you to

record your personal cooking programs.

Please use these pages as a “master copy” and keep blank!

Photocopy them as required to record your own data, which you can keep

near the air-o-system appliances for a quick reference.

This will make retrieval of pre-programmed cycles much easier to find and

enable you to collect over time a comprehensive file.
