LOW TEMPERATURE  
COOKING INTRODUCTION  
Welcome to the cost saving convenience  
of Low Temperature Cooking.  
In 1968, Alto-Shaam invented the first  
automatic, commercial cook and hold oven  
featuring the principle of Halo Heat. The  
heating method provided by Halo Heat low  
temperature cooking and holding ovens  
consists of an electric thermal cable that  
encircles the entire cooking and holding  
chamber. This creates a gentle blanket or  
HALO of radiant heat — surrounding food  
with a consistent and uniform temperature  
with no air movement inside the oven  
compartment. This gentle heating concept  
cooks at low temperatures and at a high  
level of humidity to preserve product  
moisture, flavor, and nutrition. Halo Heat  
ovens are designed to convert automatically  
from a cooking temperature to a holding  
temperature where the product can remain  
until it is ready to be served.  
(aging) action for more tender, flavorful  
meat; and preserves natural juices along  
with nutritional values in all foods. Halo  
Heat cooking reduces energy cost, cuts back  
on labor and handling, and solves kitchen  
space problems. There is no mechanical  
ventilation or oven hood necessary in most  
areas so the ovens can be moved wherever  
they are needed.  
Read this booklet carefully. Halo Heat  
is a cooking system that requires minimal  
care once you have learned the basic  
principles. For best results with many  
products, we recommend you start your  
cooking cycle the evening before — for  
serving the next day. In many areas, off-  
peak power rates are also lower at night.  
If anything you cook in a Halo Heat  
low temperature cooking and holding  
oven doesn’t meet your highest standards  
of quality, please contact one of our food  
service professionals for help. Usually, only  
a minor change in procedure is required.  
Halo Heat is an entirely different system  
of cooking. Utilizing this uniform heat  
source, Halo Heat dramatically reduces  
meat shrinkage; provides natural enzyme

INTRODUCTION  
LOW TEMPERATURE COOKING FACTS  
Low temperature cooking does not destroy these  
MEAT AND NUTRITION  
enzymes and, particularly in the hold cycle, creates this  
natural chemical action to tenderize or age the meat right  
in the oven. For this reason, it is important to use fresh  
beef and it is essential to allow the product to remain  
in the hold cycle for at least the minimum amount of  
time suggested in the individual procedures. The longer  
meat is left in the hold cycle the more tender it becomes,  
making the purchase of more expensive, aged  
Meat plays a significant role in the diet; therefore, one of  
the primary goals in food preparation is proper nutrition.  
Meat is one of the best sources of protein; is a rich source  
of B vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin;  
and includes fats, carbohydrates, minerals, pigments,  
enzymes and water.  
All of these elements are affected by cooking, but  
over-heating destroys many of them. Low temperature  
Halo Heat cooking helps preserve unstable, heat-  
sensitive vitamins and nutrients.  
meat unnecessary.  
Meat is seventy to seventy-five percent water. High  
temperatures cause this water to evaporate during  
cooking resulting in loss of product moisture. Cooking  
at low temperatures in a Halo Heat oven retains the  
maximum amount of water content resulting in a juicier  
finished product and an extended holding life.  
A report on the Nutrient Analysis of Roast Beef,  
conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Stout in July  
1971, concluded, “  
it is apparent that Alto-Shaam  
cooking method results in lower moisture losses. Even  
after a 24 hour holding period, the Alto-Shaam product  
is nutritionally equal to, and possibly better than beef  
roast cooked in a conventional oven and removed  
immediately after cooking.”  
Along with better nutrition, a more tender finished  
product, less shrinkage and higher moisture content,  
meat will not require the addition of as much salt as  
needed with conventional cooking methods. Natural  
flavors are preserved. This is a significant factor in  
today’s health conscious diets.  
Fat contributes greatly to the flavor of meat. During  
the cooking process, fat not only melts, but also changes  
chemically. With low temperature cooking there is less  
chemical change and less fat melt resulting in a more  
flavorful finished product.  
The enzymes found in meat break down the tissues  
and act as natural tenderizing agents. A premium  
price is paid for aged meats where this enzyme action  
has already started, however; enzymes are destroyed by  
high temperatures.

INTRODUCTION  
LOW TEMPERATURE COOKING FACTS  
SHRINKAGE CONTROL AND COOKING TIME  
THERE ARE FOUR MAJOR FACTORS INVOLVED IN  
DETERMINING COOKING TIMES FOR MEAT:  
THERE ARE TWO MAJOR FACTORS CONTROLLING  
MEAT SHRINKAGE OR COOKING LOSSES.  
1. The degree of aging on the meat:  
1. Temperature at which meat is cooked:  
Aged meat will cook faster, shrink more, and has a  
much shorter holding life than fresh meat.  
The higher the temperature at which meat is cooked  
the more shrinkage will result. Over-cooked meat  
also results in higher losses. Higher temperatures  
and over-cooking draws moisture to the surface and  
this moisture evaporates or drips out of the meat.  
2. Internal temperature before cooking:  
Meat should be placed in a preheated oven directly  
from a refrigerated temperature of 38° to 40°F  
(3° to 4°C). Meat cooked from a frozen state will  
require approximately one and one-half to two times  
the normal cooking time. In addition, freezing  
ruptures tissue cells creating additional moisture  
loss during the cooking process and will result in  
more shrinkage.  
2. Internal temperature of the meat:  
Like over-cooking, as meat is brought to a higher  
internal temperature shrinkage is increased. For  
these two reasons, it is suggested most cuts of red  
meat be cooked at 250°F (121°C) and that all cooking  
be based on internal product temperature. The use  
of a thermometer is encouraged.  
3. Desired degree of doneness:  
The higher the degree of internal temperature  
required, the longer the necessary cooking time.  
Cooking times in this guideline are based on the  
most popular internal product temperatures.  
4. Quantity and quality of product.

EQUALS: PERCENT OF SHRINKAGE  
PREVENTING BACTERIA GROWTH  
The surface of raw meat may become contaminated  
in processing, handling by the butcher or chef, or by  
other means. Food contamination can also be caused by  
unsanitary personal hygiene and work habits, unclean  
slicers, knives, and probes, or by faulty operational  
procedures. It is important, therefore, that  
sanitary procedures be followed at all times during  
food preparation and handling. This is your main  
protection in guarding against food contamination.  
For additional information see the Cleaning and  
Maintenance section of this manual.

INTRODUCTION  
LOW TEMPERATURE COOKING FACTS  
LABOR AND EQUIPMENT COST REDUCTION  
Halo Heat ovens are easy to operate and maintain. After the raw product is placed in the oven and the controls are set,  
there is no need to check, stir, or adjust the time or the temperature. Minimal time is spent attending the product during  
cooking. This advantage, combined with the automatic conversion to the hold cycle, frees key personnel to concentrate  
on other tasks including final product and presentation.  
When cooking in a Halo Heat oven at a temperature of  
250°F (121°C), outside venting and expensive exhaust  
hoods are not necessary in most areas. Kitchens remain  
cooler, lowering energy costs by reducing the exchange  
of heated air. Because the ovens do not need outside  
venting, they can be put almost anywhere — in the  
corner of the kitchen, on a buffet line, or in a banquet  
room. The ovens can also be built into a counter or to  
save space, can be stacked in combination with another  
Halo Heat oven or holding cabinet of the same or  
similar dimensions.  
Cooking at low temperatures also reduces cleaning time.  
Most food does not normally carbonize or burn on the  
interior of the oven.

OPERATING FEATURES & FUNCTIONS  
Probe Usage:  
To stop an operation at any time Press and hold  
the start Key until the control beeps for two seconds,  
indicating the operation has been cancelled. The oven will  
remain in a power-on state.  
When the oven probe remains inserted in the probe  
bracket, the LED temperature display will indicate the  
ambient air temperature inside the oven. To use the probe  
for cooking remove it from the bracket and wipe the full  
length of the metal probe with a disposable alcohol pad to  
clean and sanitize before using.  
To turn oven control panel off Press and hold the  
on/off Key until the oven beeps. The On/Off indicator  
light will go out.  
Only the tip of the probe senses the internal product  
temperature; therefore, it is important the tip be placed  
correctly in the product for internal temperature accuracy.  
Push the probe tip halfway into the product, positioning  
the tip at the center of the food mass. When inserting  
the probe into solid foods such as meat roast or poultry  
breasts, push the probe in from a straight downward  
position or in from the side to the center position. If  
placing into a semi-liquid or liquid product, the probe  
cable must be secured to keep the probe positioned  
properly. Do not let the probe tip touch the edges, bottom  
or side of a container. Tape the probe cable to the lip or  
edge of the container.  
Door open indicator Display will flash “door” and  
a triple beep will alert the user. Press On/Off key to  
acknowledge error and disable triple beep.  
Arrow Keys:  
Cook, Hold and Probe Temperature, and the Time setting  
can be adjusted by pressing the Arrow keys. Pressing  
and releasing the Arrow key will increase settings in  
increments of one. To change a setting more rapidly,  
press and hold the Arrow key. Once the setting reaches  
a number divisible by 10, it will begin to increase in  
increments of 10.  
Green and Amber Indicators:  
Green  
Each program key includes a green  
light which indicates a requirement  
for additional programming by the  
operator or the current operational  
state of the oven.  
NOTE: When cooking by probe, insert the probe  
into the raw product after the oven has been  
preheated.  
Amber  
WAIT ONE FULL MINUTE to allow the probe  
temperature to decrease to the internal temperature  
of the product. Press the start button to begin  
the cooking process after this probe temperature  
adjustment period. A false probe reading of the  
internal product temperature will cause the oven to  
default to a holding temperature.  
The cook, time, probe, and hold keys include an amber  
indicator light to identify the information being displayed.  
Power Fail Detect:  
If the power were to fail for any reason while heating, the  
control will retain, in memory, the programmed operating  
conditions. When power is restored, the control will  
resume operating from the point where it was interrupted  
and the On/Off indicator light will flash, indicating that  
such an event did occur. The operator can acknowledge  
the power failure by pressing the On/Off key. Pressing  
the key will display the amount of time that the power  
has been off. The control will stop counting the amount of  
time the power has been off when it has been off for more  
than 24 hours.  
Probe Calibration:  
1. To verify product probe calibration, place the probe in  
a warm glass of water along with a quality independent  
digital thermometer and press the probe key for five (5)  
seconds. Compare readings.  
2. If calibration is required, the unit must be in the power  
up hold mode. From the off state turn the unit on. The  
unit will begin to operate in the power up hold mode,  
press the probe key for eight (8) seconds until the unit  
beeps twice and a temperature is displayed. Adjust the  
probe temperature to match the independent probe by  
pressing the up or down arrows to increase or decrease  
the temperature. Repeat step 1 to verify.

SMOKING PROCEDURE OPTIONS  
DETERMINING IF PRODUCT IS  
SUFFICIENTLY COOKED  
Many of the procedures listed in the front section of this  
guide can be adapted to the Alto-Shaam Smoker.  
1. Insert a thermometer into the center of the product  
to determine if the correct internal temperature  
has been reached.  
1. Follow the load capacities for the 750, 1000 and 1200  
series ovens.  
RED MEAT:  
2. Follow the cooking and holding temperatures and  
RARE: 130° to 135°F (54° to 57°C)  
MEDIUM: 140° to 145°F (60° to 63°C)  
WELL: 155° to 160°F (66° to 71°C)  
times listed.  
3. Set the Smoking Timer for the amount of smoke  
flavor desired.  
2. When following the procedures in the individual  
product cooking instructions, additional cooking  
time should not be necessary. If, however, the  
required internal product temperature has not  
been reached after the product has remained in  
the HOLD cycle for the one hour minimum time  
period, additional cooking time may be added.  
Use the same COOK temperature set for the  
original cooking cycle until the correct internal  
temperature has been reached.  
A. ONE-STEP COOKING:  
After the COOK time is complete and the minimum  
number of hours in the HOLD cycle have elapsed, the  
product may remain ON HOLD until serving time.  
B. TWO-STEP COOKING:  
Remove product from the oven after the minimum  
number of hours in the HOLD cycle. Chill product  
quickly and prepare for refrigerated storage.  
Refrigerated product can be sauced and finished on  
a char-broiler, in a convection oven, a combination  
oven/steamer or in a salamander for a la carte service.  
This process takes between 8 and 15 minutes and  
insures a tender, juicy and fresh tasting product.  
When using cook/chill processing techniques,  
products have an extended storage life of 5 days  
which includes the day of preparation and the day of  
service.

temperature cooking and holding oven,  
condensation will form on the inside of the  
door during operation and may leak out of the  
oven door vents. This is a normal operating  
condition, however; any condensation spilling  
on the floor should be periodically wiped as a  
safety precaution. There is an External Drip  
Tray included as standard with most ovens.  
3. The cooking times in this guide are based on meat  
taken directly from a refrigerated temperature  
of 38° to 40°F (3.3° to 4.4°C), and placed in a  
preheated oven. Adjustments must be made  
for cooking products at other than refrigerated  
temperatures.  
13. Insert drip pan directly on the bottom surface of  
the oven compartment.  
14. Drip pan overflow is a condition caused  
by cooking some cuts of beef to an internal  
temperature in excess of 130°F (54°C). The  
External Drip Tray will help alleviate some of  
this overflow problem. There is also an extra  
large drip pan available as an option for the  
1000-TH series ovens.  
4. Place the curved edge of the shelf toward the back  
of the oven.  
5. Adjust the inside door vents as indicated in the  
individual cooking procedure selected.  
6. It is recommended the oven door remain closed  
during the cooking cycle. Opening the door will  
only increase the length of time necessary to  
cook the product.  
15. Overflow may also be caused by overloading the  
oven compartment. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE  
OVEN. Follow the recommended load capacities  
listed in each individual procedure.  
7. Puncturing an item with any sharp instrument  
may introduce bacteria inside the product.  
Avoid using a fork to handle products, and  
always use standard sanitary methods when  
handling any food item.  
16. For maximum product tenderizing  
and to reduce labor during peak  
preparation hours, overnight cook  
and hold is highly recommended for  
many products. Refer to individual  
cooking instructions.  
8. Use a thermometer to check the internal  
temperature of a product. Be certain to sanitize  
the thermometer before each use.  
9. Aged meat will cook faster, shrink more, and  
cannot be held as long as fresh meat. Because  
of the tenderizing capabilities of the oven, aged  
meat or tenderizing agents such as M.S.G. are  
not necessary, and are not recommended.  
The Alto-Shaam staff includes corporate  
executive chefs who welcome questions.  
You are invited to contact anyone on our  
staff by phone (800.558.8744) or e-mail  
through the Contact Us section of our  
web site (www.alto-shaam.com) for help  
with any cook and hold procedure.  
10. When cooking full loads, never cook below the  
second shelf spacing from the bottom of the  
oven compartment.  
11. Fully clean the oven interior, drip pan, shelves,

FOOD HOLDING AND SANITATION  
FOOD HOLDING AND SANITATION  
DETERMINING IF PRODUCT IS  
SUFFICIENTLY COOKED  
Always follow federal and local health (hygiene)  
codes for the time and internal temperature required  
for reheating products.  
1. Insert a thermometer into the center of the product  
to determine if the correct internal temperature has  
been reached.  
In the United States, FDA food code requires  
products such as red meat to remain in  
“HOLD” for a specified time period. This  
holding time requirement is based on the  
internal product temperature desired for  
the finished product and includes the one  
hour time period while the oven decreases  
from the cooking temperature to the holding  
temperature and the product continues  
to cook.  
RED MEAT:  
RARE: 130° to 135°F (54° to 57°C)  
MEDIUM: 140° to 145°F (60° to 63°C)  
WELL: 155° to 160°F (66° to 71°C)  
2. When following the procedures in the individual  
product cooking instructions, additional cooking  
time should not be necessary. If, however, the  
required internal product temperature has not  
been reached after the product has remained in  
the HOLD cycle for the one hour minimum time  
period, additional cooking time may be added. Use  
the same COOK temperature set for the original  
cooking cycle until the correct internal temperature  
has been reached.

FOOD HOLDING AND SANITATION  
FOOD HOLDING AND SANITATION  
FOOD HOLDING - FUNCTION & VALUE  
GENERAL HOLDING GUIDELINES  
In the previous sections, cooking procedures in the  
Halo Heat Low Temperature Cooking and Holding  
Oven have been emphasized. If practical to the  
individual food service operation, these ovens can  
also be used without the cooking function to hold  
foods at proper serving temperatures. Individual  
holding cabinets can also be used to accomplish  
this function.  
Chefs, cooks and other specialized food service  
personnel employ varied methods of cooking.  
Proper holding temperatures for a specific food  
product must be based on the moisture content of  
the product, product density, volume, and proper  
serving temperatures. Safe holding temperatures  
must also be correlated with palatability in  
determining the length of holding time for a  
specific product.  
Food production in most food service facilities  
is accomplished in a variety of different cooking  
equipment. Food quality can be easily lost between  
the time a product is removed from an oven and the  
time of direct service. Regardless of the method of  
preparation, proper handling of food within this time  
period is of critical importance to the food service  
operator. Halo Heat hot food holding equipment  
is able to support any type of food preparation by  
extending the longest possible holding life for the  
widest variety of products.  
Halo Heat maintains the maximum amount of  
product moisture content without the addition of  
water, water vapor, or steam. Maintaining maximum  
natural product moisture preserves the natural  
flavor of the product and provides a more genuine  
taste. In addition to product moisture retention, the  
gentle properties of Halo Heat maintain a consistent  
temperature throughout the cabinet without  
the necessity of a heat distribution fan, thereby  
preventing further moisture loss due to evaporation  
or dehydration.  
For maximum efficiency, hot food holding equipment  
should be selected on the basis of the full range  
of functions this equipment can provide to the  
individual operation. For example, dough proofing,  
bulk food holding for buffet service or other  
situations and the transportation of hot foods are  
some of the major functions of these cabinets  
for multipurpose utility. When properly planned,  
Halo Heat holding equipment can be a time  
management aid, support the food service operation  
by extending preparation times outside of peak  
preparation hours, and provide a quality product in  
prolonged holding situations.  
In an enclosed holding environment, too much  
moisture content is a condition which can be  
relieved. A product achieving extremely high  
temperatures in preparation must be allowed to  
decrease in temperature before being placed in a  
controlled holding atmosphere. If the product is  
not allowed to decrease in temperature, excessive  
condensation will form increasing the moisture  
content on the outside of the product. To preserve  
the safety and quality of freshly cooked foods  
however, a maximum of 1 to 2 minutes must be the  
only time period allowed for the initial heat to be  
released from the product.  
Consult an Alto-Shaam representative for  
information on compatible holding equipment or  
for recommendation on full systems tailored to meet  
specific requirements.  
Most Halo Heat holding equipment is provided  
with a thermostat control between 60° and 200°F  
(16° to 93°C). If the unit is equipped with vents,  
close the vents for moist holding and open the vents  
for crisp holding.  
CAUTION  
TO MAINTAIN SAFE TEMPERATURE  
LEVELS, COLD FOOD FOR  
RETHERMALIZATION OR REHEATING  
MUST NEVER BE ADDED TO THE OVEN  
WHILE HOT FOODS ARE BEING HELD.

Halo Heat maintains the maximum amount of  
product moisture content without the addition of  
water, water vapor, or steam. Maintaining maximum  
natural product moisture preserves the natural  
flavor of the product and provides a more genuine  
taste. In addition to product moisture retention, the  
gentle properties of Halo Heat maintain a consistent  
temperature throughout the cabinet without  
the necessity of a heat distribution fan, thereby  
preventing further moisture loss due to evaporation  
or dehydration.

In an enclosed holding environment, too much  
moisture content is a condition which can be  
relieved. A product achieving extremely high  
temperatures in preparation must be allowed to  
decrease in temperature before being placed in a  
controlled holding atmosphere. If the product is  
not allowed to decrease in temperature, excessive  
condensation will form increasing the moisture  
content on the outside of the product. To preserve  
the safety and quality of freshly cooked foods  
however, a maximum of 1 to 2 minutes must be  
the only time period allowed for the initial heat to  
be released from the product.

FOOD HOLDING AND SANITATION  
FOOD HOLDING AND SANITATION  
Food flavor and aroma are usually so closely  
related that it is difficult, if not impossible,  
to separate them. There is also an important,  
inseparable relationship between cleanliness  
and food flavor. Cleanliness, top operating  
efficiency, and appearance of equipment contribute  
considerably to savory, appetizing foods.  
Good equipment that is kept clean, works  
better and lasts longer.  
The most accurate method of measuring safe  
temperatures of both hot and cold foods is  
by internal product temperature. A quality  
thermometer is an effective tool for this purpose,  
and should be routinely used on all products that  
require holding at a specific temperature.  
A comprehensive sanitation program should  
focus on the training of staff in basic sanitation  
procedures. This includes personal hygiene,  
proper handling of raw foods, cooking to a safe  
internal product temperature, and the routine  
monitoring of internal temperatures from receiving  
through service.  
Most food imparts its own particular aroma  
and many foods also absorb existing odors.  
Unfortunately, during this absorption there is  
no distinction between GOOD and BAD odors.  
The majority of objectionable flavors and odors  
troubling food service operations are caused by  
bacteria growth. Sourness, rancidity, mustiness,  
stale or other OFF flavors are usually the result of  
germ activity.  
Most food-borne illnesses can be prevented  
through proper temperature control and a  
comprehensive program of sanitation. Both these  
factors are important to build quality service as  
the foundation of customer satisfaction. Safe food  
handling practices to prevent food-borne illness is  
of critical importance to the health and safety of  
your customers.  
The easiest way to insure full, natural food flavor  
is through comprehensive cleanliness. This means  
good control of both visible soil (dirt) and invisible  
soil (germs). A thorough approach to sanitation  
will provide essential cleanliness. It will assure  
an attractive appearance of equipment, along with  
maximum efficiency and utility. More importantly,  
a good sanitation program provides one of the key  
elements in the prevention of food-borne illnesses.  
HACCP, an acronym for Hazard Analysis (at)  
Critical Control Points, is a quality control program  
of operating procedures to assure food integrity,  
quality, and safety. Taking steps necessary to  
augment food safety practices is both cost effective  
and relatively simple. While HACCP guidelines  
go far beyond the scope of this manual, additional  
information is available by contacting:  
A controlled holding environment for prepared  
foods is just one of the important factors involved  
in the prevention of food-borne illnesses.  
Temperature monitoring and control during  
receiving, storage, preparation, and the service of  
foods are of equal importance.

FOOD SAFETY GUIDELIES  
Safe food handling practices to prevent food-borne  
illness is of critical importance to the health and  
safety of your customers. HACCP, an acronym for  
Hazard Analysis (at) Critical Control Points, is a  
quality control program of operating procedures to  
assure food integrity, quality, and safety. Taking  
steps necessary to augment food safety practices  
are both cost effective and relatively simple. While  
HACCP guidelines go far beyond the scope of  
this booklet, additional information is available  
by contacting the USDA/FDA Food-borne Illness  
Education Information Center.  
All heated food must be maintained at 140°F to  
150°F (60°C to 65°C) after being heated. Foods  
that have been heated followed by refrigerated  
storage must be reheated to a minimum of 165°F  
(74°C) to prevent bacteria growth.  
All stored food items must be covered and placed  
in a cooler or freezer at a minimum height of  
6-inches (152mm) above the floor.  
Employees serving food, preparing food, or washing  
utensils must wear an effective hair covering.  
Employees must wash their hands before serving  
or preparing food.  
Soap and towels must be provided at the hand-sink  
which must only be used for washing hands.  
No smoking or use of tobacco products is allowed  
in the food preparation or service area.  
SUMMARY  
All serving containers must be stored with food  
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration  
has a published Food Code as a reference guide for the  
prevention of food-borne illness in retail outlets such as  
restaurants, institutions and grocery stores. Provisions  
of this Food Code are compatible with the concept and  
terminology of Hazard Analysis (at) Critical Control  
Points (HACCP) and contains expanded provisions for  
food safety. The FDA publication, along with local  
codes, should be the final word with regard to all issues  
regarding food safety and sanitation in the U.S. For more  
information contact:  
contact surfaces covered or in the down position.  
All utensils must be washed in a three-  
compartment sink and dipped in a final sanitation  
rinse. A pH test kit must be used to check the  
rinse water.  
Food preparation surfaces must not be used for  
the storage of non-food items.  
All cold food must be stored at or below 40°F (4°C).  
Frozen foods must not be thawed at room  
temperature nor in water. Use the cooler for  
thawing and thaw foods slowly.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
PROTECTING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES  
CLEANING AGENTS  
It is important to guard against corrosion  
in the care of stainless steel  
Use non-abrasive cleaning products designed for  
use on stainless steel surfaces. Cleaning agents  
must be chloride-free compounds and must not  
contain quaternary salts. Never use hydrochloric  
acid (muriatic acid) on stainless steel surfaces.  
Always use the proper cleaning agent at the  
manufacturer's recommended strength.  
surfaces. Harsh, corrosive,  
or inappropriate chemicals  
can completely destroy the  
protective surface layer  
of stainless steel. Abrasive  
pads, steel wool, or metal implements will abrade  
surfaces causing damage to this protective coating  
and will eventually result in areas of corrosion.  
Even water, particularly hard water that contains  
high to moderate concentrations of chloride, will  
cause oxidation and pitting that result in rust  
and corrosion. In addition, many acidic foods  
spilled and left to remain on metal surfaces are  
contributing factors that will corrode surfaces.  
Contact your local cleaning supplier for  
product recommendations.  
CLEANING MATERIALS  
The cleaning function can usually be accomplished  
with the proper cleaning agent and a soft, clean  
cloth. When more aggressive methods must be  
employed, use a non-abrasive scouring pad on  
difficult areas and make certain to scrub with the  
visible grain of surface metal to avoid surface  
scratches. Never use wire brushes, metal scouring  
pads, or scrapers to remove food residue.  
Proper cleaning agents, materials, and  
methods are vital to maintaining the appearance  
and life of this appliance. Spilled foods should be  
removed and the area wiped as soon as possible  
but at the very least, a minimum of once a day.  
Always thoroughly rinse surfaces after using a  
cleaning agent and wipe standing water as quickly  
as possible after rinsing.  
CAUTION  
TO PROTECT STAINLESS STEEL  
SURFACES, COMPLETELY AVOID  
THE USE OF ABRASIVE CLEANING  
COMPOUNDS, CHLORIDE BASED  
CLEANERS, OR CLEANERS  
CONTAINING QUATERNARY SALTS.  
NEVER USE HYDROCHLORIC ACID

sausage will vary, particularly for less  
than full loads. When heating a full load  
of precooked sausage, check the internal  
product temperature after approximately  
one (1) hour of cooking time.  
The time and temperature are suggested guidelines only. All cooking should be based on internal product temperatures. Due to  
variations in product quality, weight and desired degree of doneness, the cooking timer may need to be adjusted accordingly. Always  
follow local health (hygiene) regulations for all internal temperature requirements.

*TWO-STEP FRIED CHICKEN  
The two-step method consists of precooking the chicken in a low temperature oven to retain the product moisture, then adding the crisp, fried appearance  
by inserting the product in a fryer for a very short period of time. This method can be used with product directly from the oven or the product can be  
precooked and fried directly from refrigerated storage. With the two-step method the chicken will be moist, flavorful, plump and golden brown. Shrinkage  
will be low and shortening in the fryer will last much longer.  
FRYING DIRECTLY FROM THE OVEN  
1. Preheat fryer to 335°F (168°C).  
FRYING FROM REFRIGERATED STORAGE  
1. Remove chicken from the Alto-Shaam Halo Heat oven, wrap, chill  
rapidly and store under refrigeration at 38° to 40°F (3° to 4°C).  
2. Preheat fryer to 335°F (168°C).  
2. If heavier or crisper breading is desired, remove required portion of  
chicken from the oven and dredge in fresh breading.  
3. Drop chicken in fryer for three minutes or until chicken is golden brown.  
4. Chicken can be fried per customer order or in larger quantities. When  
frying larger quantities, place fried pieces on a sheet pan with wire grid  
insert and place pans in a preheated Alto-Shaam display case or in a  
preheated holding cabinet with door vents fully open.  
3. Remove required portion of precooked chicken from  
refrigerated storage.  
4. Drop chicken in fryer for 6 to 7 minutes or until chicken is  
golden brown.

COLD SMOKING  
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS AND PREPARATION  
SMOKING PROCEDURE  
PRODUCT >  
COLD SMOKED SALMON  
OVEN MUST BE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE  
BEGINNING THE COLD SMOKE PROCEDURE.  
ITEM/AMOUNT  
INSTRUCTIONS  
SAUMON FUME: Fresh Salmon Fillets 2-1/2 to 4 lb  
(1 to 2 kg) each  
Soak wood chips in water according to directions  
(5-15 minutes), fill wood chip container full and insert  
in chip holder located at the back of the oven.  
INGREDIENTS REQUIRED  
Fresh Salmon Fillets or Sides  
Sea Salt: Large Crystals  
Granulated or Raw Sugar  
Fill pan with ice and locate pan in shelf position  
number 7 (just above wood chip container).  
SUPPLIES REQUIRED  
Clear Plastic Wrap  
Paper Toweling  
Wire Mesh Grids  
Digital Thermocouple Thermometer  
(to monitor internal product temperature)  
Tweezers  
Place prepared salmon fillets on a wire grid as  
indicated on the diagram and insert wire grid on oven  
shelf beginning with the top shelf position.  
Insert probe of thermocouple thermometer into the  
center of the middle salmon fillet located in the top  
shelf position or central shelf position when smoking  
a full load. To maintain proper color, the internal  
temperature of the salmon must not exceed 77°F  
(25°C). For this reason, it is important to begin the  
smoking process with the oven at room temperature.  
Ice: 3 to 4 lb (1 to 2 kg)  
PREPARATION  
Remove bones from fillets with a tweezers to  
avoid rupturing tissue.  
SALTING  
50% Sea Salt or Kosher Salt  
50% Granulated or Brown Sugar (for richer  
color)  
Make certain oven vents are closed. Close oven door  
and set smoke time from 10 to 20 minutes depending  
on taste preference. When the smoke timer cycles to  
the OFF position, the fillets must remain in the oven  
for a period of 1-2 hours. Do not open the oven door  
during this period.  
To remove moisture from the raw salmon,  
blend salt and sugar mixture thoroughly and  
pack firmly around each fillet. Cover salt-filled  
pans with clear plastic wrap and refrigerate for  
24 hours. Following the 24 hour refrigeration  
period, remove fillets from salt/sugar mixture  
and rinse thoroughly under cold, running water.  
Pat dry with paper toweling. Place fillets side-  
by-side on a sheet pan and return, uncovered,  
to the refrigerator for a period of 1-6 hours for  
the final drying period.  
Following the required oven time, remove the fillets,  
cover with clear plastic wrap and refrigerate until  
fully chilled.
