Partial Loads
Individual pans or racks of product can be easily loaded or unloaded while the unit
is in operation.
■ Open door slightly until fan stops and heat dissipates. Open door fully with care.
■ Using oven mitts or pads, load or unload individual containers.
■ Shut door. Cooking process continues automatically.
Tips
■ Preheat cooking cabinet prior to loading for full loads.
■ Since no flavor transfer occurs during cooking, try to plan full loads based on
similar cooking climates (Moist, Dry, Combination) rather than food compatibility.
■ When cooking for longer periods, or on continuous run cooking, load items
that will be done sooner toward the front of the oven. These can be removed
individually when done.
■ For the greatest efficiency, try to cook with full loads. In general, cooking times
and temperatures are not affected by the quantity of product in the cooking
cabinet.
■ When loading roasts or large cuts of meat, place product grids and load grids
directly onto shelves near the bottom of the unit. Load an empty pan directly
beneath the roast to catch drippings and roast bones.
■ For base-top models, consider the purchase of Combi Base Units. Several styles
are available that offer storage for convenient access to pans, grids, and racks.
■ If rethermalizing plated portions is a frequent part of your production, consider
the purchase of special plate racks and thermal covers.
