Vulcan Chef'sCombi CHEF-101E 10 Pan Half Size Electric Combi Oven w/ Steam Generator
Standard Features
- CombiOS is an innovative and intuitive operating concept, with a high-performance processor. The dial control and screen response time is fast, even when switching the oven on or off. The user interface can be easily customized to show or hide features, allowing users to focus on what is important to them.
- CombiClimateControl is the basis for outstanding cooking performance. The heat is distributed evenly, based on the demand — ensuring the best cooking results even when fully loaded. Fresh steam is supplied by the steam generator. The high-performance dehumidification secures the desired crispiness.
- AutoClimate supports the user during manual cooking. It sets the appropriate cooking climate based on the cabinet temperature set by the user, if desired.
- CombiGuide is the simple cooking assistant for reproducible cooking results, no matter who is using the oven. The user inputs desired result, and CombiGuide automatically sets the ideal cooking climate. The load detection will make the appropriate adjustments in the cooking climate, but the user can make adjustments at any time, if necessary.
- MenuMix monitors every level to the second. Various foods can be selected to be cooked together, and time can be set as countdown timers, or, as synchronized timers to finish products simultaneously at a specified time (example: multiple food items can be programmed to finish at exactly 11am; MenuMix will alert users when to load the food, and ensures it is cooked and ready by 11am). Mixed menus can be created and saved for future use.
- CombiCare is an automatic cleaning system with default and customizable cleaning programs that can be selected based on the cleaning impact needed, and uses propitiatory solid cleaner tabs (to clean the cavity) and easy-to-use care sticks (for descaling). After a cleaning cycle has been completed, the cooking chamber, steam generator, and drain are hygienically clean and free of limescale.
- Two-year limited parts and labor warranty
