INTRODUCTION
The Mealstream 501 oven offers catering kitchens the flexibility of three heating functions;
microwave only, convection only, and combination cooking.
Combination cooking enables high quality results to be achieved in a fraction of the time
taken by conventional cooking, particularly when baking, browning, roasting, grilling or
producing gratinee dishes.
Once established, precise instructions for combination or convection cooking of selected
items may be programmed into the ovens memory so that they can be repeated easily
and accurately.
Multi-Stage Programming
The Mealstream EC501 offers even greater flexibility by allowing multi-stage programming.
This enables the exact conditions required for quality results to be set according to the food
type.
A typical 3-stage program is shown. The Oven is pre-heated at 200°C. Stage 1 begins by
applying a gentle microwave power of 25% (ideal for defrosting) while the convection
temperature rises to 225°C. In Stage 2 the microwave power increases to maximum
(100%) . In the final, browning stage the convection temperature is increased to 250°C
with no microwave energy applied.
This is only one example of an infinite number of possible multi-stage programs that can
be created and stored. Programs can have one, two, or three stages.
Note:
Remember convection temperature takes time to change. Do not expect an instant
response when a different temperature is activated.
Care should be taken when de-frosting in a hot oven. Defrost first thing in the morning
when the oven is still cold.
The instructions outlined in this guide are intended to
ensure the safety and long life of your Merrychef oven.
