Alto-Shaam AS-250 - Manual (Page 3)

#812 • INSTALLATION / OPERATION / SERVICE MANUAL • 1
The Alto-Shaam Electronic Cooking
and Holding Oven has been thoroughly
tested, checked for calibration and
inspected to insure only the highest quality
oven is provided. When you receive your
oven, check for any possible shipping
damage and report it at once to the
delivering carrier. See Transportation
Damage and Claims section located in this
manual.
The oven may be delivered in one or
more packages. Check to insure that all the following
items have been received with each unit:
Drip Pan (1) Guide to Low Temperature Cooking(1)
Wire Shelf (1) Oven Side Racks (2) Base Support Bars (1)
PLUS: Any options or accessories which may have been ordered
with the equipment.
Save all the information and instructions packed
inside the unit. Complete and return the warranty card
to the factory as soon as possible to insure prompt
service in the event of a warranty parts/labor claim.
Alto-Shaam cook and hold ovens are designed for the
purpose of maintaining hot food at a temperature for
safe consumption. The unit must be installed in a
location that will permit the equipment to function for its
intended purpose and allow adequate access for proper
cleaning and maintenance.
Installation minimum clearance recommendations are
3-inches (76mm) at the back, 2-inches (51mm) at the top,
and 1-inch (25mm) at both sides
The unit must not be installed in any area where it
will be affected by steam, grease, dripping water, high
temperatures, or any other severely adverse conditions.
The oven is equipped with a special, high-heat-
density, heating cable. Through the Halo Heat concept,
the heating cable is mounted against the walls of the
cooking cavity to provide an evenly applied,
thermostatically controlled, heat input. The design and
operational characteristics of the unit eliminate the need
for a moisture pan and/or heat circulating fan. Because
of the even heat application, the quality of a food
product is maintained for long periods of time. The
actual time depends on the type and quantity of product.
The computer control maintains an exceptionally
close temperature tolerance and automatic control of the
cooking cycle by either internal product temperature or
timed cooking. Holding temperatures are maintained
with reduced oven power consumption in the automatic,
HOLD mode.
Before using the oven, become familiar with the
operation of the control. Read the following "Operation"
section of this manual and operate the various function
modes of the computer control. For reference during
actual operation, the basic operational procedures are
printed on the control panel.
Clean both the interior and exterior of the oven
with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth rinse
before operating.
1. Ensure that the voltage stamped on the nameplate
matches the available power source.
