Interesting additional information (Hold-o-mat 411)
Delta-T program
Delta-T cooking takes place in phase 2 where you can determine the
Delta-T and the core temperature. The Hold-o-mat now tries to always
reach or hold the Delta-T depending on the weight and starting temper-
ature.
You can use or deactivate phase 1. For example, as a time phase for
pre-heating or to bring large amounts of food up to a base temperature.
Phase 3 can be used or deactivated and conceived for subsequently
keeping food warm. Warning: if the Delta-T is quite high, the core tem-
perature may follow suit and has to be corrected by a prompt switcho-
ver.
We leave it up to you and your expertise to use the Delta-T program.
The Hold-o-mat 411 is the only unit in the world that allows this.
Hugentobler master chefs recommend low-temperature cooking
(Cook & Hold) with the programs 1 – 8.
Temperature indication
If the meat is very cold and the CT sensor measures below 0 °C, the
Hold-o-mat will work, but the core temperature will only be shown
correctly above 1°C. The unit also works correctly between – 20 °C and
+160 °C at room temperature, though the temperature is only shown in
the display between 0 °C and 160 °C.
Lateral rails
Some of the lateral rails are adjustable. Tools are needed for this adjust-
ment. The idea is not to change this before each service but to adjust it
once for the most commonly used size of container.
Heating indicator
The heating indicator appears between times in the display. This is
normally filled out completely. If the heating indicator appears as a circle,
this means “Power reduction” because the heating wire has become
too hot. This reduction is usually corrected automatically without the
safety thermostat being triggered.
Sensor not in use
If the CTM sensor is not in use store elsewhere (e.g. in the original pack-
aging) so that you can find it again when needed or put it away in the
dehumidification unit in the door as shown in the photo.
