Ready to use….
When the oven is correctly installed, read this manual carefully before the oven comes into
service.
This manual should be kept handy to persons using the oven.
Always place trays filled with hot liquid in the bottom runners of the oven chamber to avoid
spilling the hot liquid on yourself when you take the tray out of the oven chamber.
Some areas on the outside of the oven may get as hot as 60°C or more, therefore, you should
only touch the front of the oven.
Only use cleaning detergent that matches the specifications from the factory.
Main Switch
Setting of temperature
(this side: temperature
Selects next mode to up, left side:
the left temperature down)
Core temperature
The white digits next to the symbols for TEMPERATURE and TIME show the actual oven
temperature and the actual time remaining. When there is one minute left, the computer
counts down from 59 seconds. The alarm sounds when time is up. The red digits are the preset
time and temperature.
When the oven is on (a program or a function has been activated – the square around the
function flashes), it is still possible to set TIME, TEMPERATURE, FAN and EXHAUST.
Note that the fan wheel is reversible. This means that the wheel can run leftwards as well as
rightwards with a small interval when changing direction.
On the following pages, the above initial display image will be referred to as the “work menu”.
* For continuous operation, press the left key until the indication of time disappears.

A fan speed between 20 and 50% is recommended for the baking of puff pastry, Danish
pastry, cakes and small products as well as in the Delta-T and Cook-and-Hold modes. You may
add 1 – 2 minutes’ preparation time for each ½ hour when low fan speed is used.
A fan speed between 50 and 90% are recommended if you want a particularly juicy end
product and can accept a longer cooking time.
Open exhaust is recommended for bread and pastry, roasting of pieces of meat and to achieve
a grill effect.
a) Return to work menu without saving settings of fan and exhaust, if any.
b) Accept settings of fan and exhaust and return to work menu.
It is only possible to set the exhaust function in the hot-air mode. In the other modes, the
exhaust function is controlled automatically by the oven.
The fan function is active in HOT AIR, STEAMING and REHEATING. In the other modes, the fan
is controlled automatically by the oven.
Active: This is the mode in which you use the core temperature to determine when the
product is finished. In this mode, you set the oven temperature, the programme and, if actual,
the humidity content.
Delta-T: This is the mode in which you set the desired core temperature. You get the best
result starting with an oven temperature of 30 – 40°C. Subsequently, the oven automatically
controls the temperature in the oven chamber on the basis of the core temperature of the
product. The oven temperature is approx. 20°C higher than the current core temperature
rising gradually as the core temperature of the product rises. This mode offers you very gentle
preparation resulting in a tender and juicy end product and reducing shrinkage by up to 20%
compared to traditional modes of preparation.
Cook & Hold: Cook & Hold is an extension to the Delta-T mode. It starts like Delta-T but ends
up by evening out the temperature in the oven and the core temperature and thus acting as a
warming mode.
Cook & hold is suitable for roasting overnight when there is no staff around.
Start-up
You start core temperature sensor by pressing the on/off key once.
You start Delta-T by pressing once more next to the active core temperature sensor 1.
You start Cook & Hold by pressing once more next to the active Delta-T.
To switch off core temperature sensor, press the on/off key once more.
Remember always to confirm your setting by pressing OK on the key in the upper right-hand
corner.

The graph illustrates the difference between oven temperature and core temperature. The
graph is fixed and does not change when you set the core temperature. The blue line is the
core temperature probe. The red line is the oven temperature.
Procedure
3. Insert the core temperature probe in the product with the largest diameter.
4. Activate Delta-T and set core temperature. Remember to confirm.
5. Press ON/OFF
Delta-T is particularly suitable for cuts of meat that contain a great deal of connective tissue,
for large roasts and for very lean cuts of meat. During this slow preparation process, the tough
connective tissue is gently broken down, which enhances the flavour and increases the
juiciness of the finished product.
The preparation time depends on the thickness of the meat and its contents of connective
tissue, bones and fat. The recommended preparation time is 60 – 75 minutes for each kg of
meet. This means that if the oven is loaded with pieces of meat, the largest of which weighs 3
kg, the preparation time will be 3 – 4 hours.
Note that the aromatic compounds in the meat only become volatile at temperatures above
120°C. This means that the meat does not give off flavour until it has been browned at a high
temperature for a few minutes. This is, however, of no importance if the meat is subsequently
to be cut out. It may be of importance if the meat is to be carved for a buffet.

COOK & HOLD is a Delta-T mode which, in addition, keeps the food hot when it is done.
COOK & HOLD maintains the core temperature until the program is interrupted (by pressing
ON/OFF, by opening the oven door, or when the time has run out).
Cook & Hold can be activated in HOT AIR, STEAMING, REHEATING (recommended) and
COMBISMART.
At the above temperature, the meat can be taken out immediately before carving.
Setting of fan
When using CombiSmart correctly, you minimise shrinkage and enhance the appearance and
taste of the products.
CombiSmart offers you the possibility of adding humidity at 10 levels. The computer
automatically operates according to the desired humidity content.
Depending on the amount of products in the oven and the setting of humidity and
temperature, the correct humidity content is reached after 1 – 5 min.
If you want dry air for grilling, for instance, apply level 0 at 200 – 250%C
If the oven is not connected to a soft water plant, the steaming modes cannot
function properly.

Daily cleaning of the oven is recommended for hygienic reasons and to avoid interruptions of
operation.
The design of the HOUNÖ ovens allows quick and easy cleaning. The oven chamber is made of
all-welded stainless steel, which makes it splash proof. You will therefore find the easy-to-use
handshower (optional extra), which is located under the front panel, very suitable for interior
cleaning.
The door sealing is easy to remove, which ensures quick and efficient cleaning under and
around it.
Furthermore, the flat front panel makes exterior cleaning simple and efficient.
To give the oven an extra shine, we recommend HOUNÖ steel oil which is available from your
oven supplier (0.5 litre: part No. 045650 – 5 litres: part No. 045654).
Oven chamber
Use CombiWash, level 1-4 (see page 16):

(B)
Exterior cleaning
Wash the oven cabinet on the outside with soapy water and dry with a soft and damp cloth.
After drying, apply HOUNÖ STEEL OIL (follow directions on the packaging). The steel oil is
available from your oven supplier (0.5 litre: part No. 045650 – 5 litres: part No. 045654) and
is only for external use.
Note! The exterior of the oven should never be flushed with a water hose or high-pressure
cleaner as this may damage the electronic components.

When an oven back-up, recipes or HACCP are saved to the key, they are saved in a
predefined file structure.
Oven settings and HACCP are saved in the folder ”Oven + serial No.” (in the below
example, the serial No. of the oven is 987654321).
As appears from the example, there is a Backup folder. In this folder, all the settings of
the oven are located.
The folder HACCP contains all HACCP runs.
It may be a good idea to frequently copy the contents of the USB key to the hard disk
to increase data safety.
Programmes are read and saved in the folder Programs.
If the oven has CombiNet (see p. 38), the file RecipesEditor.html will be written to the
USB key when you take backup of the oven settings. By running the file, it is possible to
modify the recipe packages (requires the installation of Java which can be downloaded
from www.java.com).

Paté 75°C
Terrine 60°C
The more connective tissue the meat contains, the more important is the holding time after
the core temperature has been reached.
Tender meat such as sirloin steak and trimmed fillet reaches maximum tenderness at 65°C.
The meat becomes tougher between 75 and 80°C but becomes increasingly tender again as
the temperature rises above that.
Meat containing a great deal of connective tissue, such as shoulder, brisket and neck, needs to
be heated for a long time before it is sufficiently tender – for instance, a holding time of 30 –
90 minutes at a core temperature of 60-75°C (then it is ”low-temperature tenderising” – see
”Low-temperature roasting”).
For meat prepared for a buffet or for display on a sales counter, the indicative core
temperature is above 75°C. The meat should be removed after 3 hours or when the core
temperature falls to below 65°C. See recommendations from the Ministry of Health.
The steaming of fish will succeed at a temperature of 65 – 80°C. The fish does not coagulate
and shrinkage is reduced to a minimum.
Rare 52 – 57°C
Medium-rare 59 – 62°C
Well-done 72 - 87°C
Long-time roasting
Roasting at a temperature between 110 and 150°C. Slow heating produces meat that is
uniformly cooked.
Low-temperature roasting
Can be described as roasting below 100°C, the core temperature of the roast and the oven
temperature being almost the same. The advantage of this method of preparation is that the
roast is uniformly cooked. Furthermore, the slow preparation/heating process may result in the
meat becoming more tender. Can be used for all types of meat and is particularly suitable for
the preparation of meat with a great deal of connective tissue. With holding time at a core
temperature of 65°C, it is possible to achieve additional tenderising of particularly ”tough”
pieces of meat (at temperatures above 60°C, the meat starts to dehydrate).
Depending on the meat, the following indicative temperatures can be used for pieces of meat
that should be medium-rare or well-done:
Keeping qualities and indicative legal requirements from the Danish Ministry of
Health
The keeping qualities of heated meat vary a great deal according to the way the meat is
packed while stored – from a few days for small pieces of meat to several weeks for sous-vide
products.
Food that has been heated should either be eaten within 3 hours, kept hot at a temperature of
65°C, or cooled down to max. 5°C in the course of no more than 3 hours.
