If the Hold-o-mat exceeds the desired temperature by 5°C or more, the
indicator flashes to warn kitchen staff. To cool the unit slowly, leave
the door open slightly longer. (Thanks to its excellent insulation, this
takes somewhat longer than with other units.)
The desired temperature can be set to the degree in a range from 50°C
to 120°C. The PT 500 and excellent electronics, which approach the
desired temperature slowly step by step (a timing pulse system), guaran
tee +/- 1°C accuracy.
Switching off
After use the
button is used to switch the Hold-o-mat off.
Please do not forget to clean the unit after use as outlined in the section
on "Cleaning and care".
Practical tips:
General use
a
Thanks to very precise temperature control and the special dehumidific-
ation system, the Hold-o-mat can keep food warm, especially meat and
bakery products, over long periods in prime condition while improving
quality. Vegetables and other side dishes can also be kept warm.
Meat
a
The optimal temperature for keeping meat warm over a period of hours is
about 5–10 degrees above the desired core temperature (max. 5 hours). If
different cuts of meat e.g. red and white, large sides and small off cuts are
to be warmed together, set a temperature of between 68° to 72°C.
a
With every hour that the meat is kept warm in the Hold-o-mat it becomes
more tender. Please note, however, that the meat should not be stored
for too long, as this can adversely affect its taste. Best results are obtained
by using relatively fresh meat kept warm for under five hours.
a
Ideally, meat should be inserted into the Hold-o-mat on grilles. Meat juices
can be collected in a tray on the interior floor. This way, precise regular
temperature is guaranteed and the meat does not lie in its own juices as
on a tray. The dried-on residue on the tray is easier to remove than if a tray
is used on every level.
Cook & Hold
a
Thanks to the 120°C setting, this cooking method is perfectly practicable with
the Hold-o-mat. Keep to the following rules and obtain further information
from a specialist.

these instructions precisely!
Switching on

Operating
Use the

buttons to set the desired temperature.
The indicator always shows the actual temperature. By pushing an arrow
button once, the desired temperature is displayed for two seconds. Then
the indicator returns to showing the actual temperature. By pressing the
buttons again while the desired temperature is displayed, the desired
temperature can be increased or decreased.
Pressing both buttons together
automatically sets the
the
most important temperature
of 68 degrees.
Desired temperature
The desired temperature is reached within 20 to 40 minutes, depending
on what temperature has been chosen. The Hold-o-mat is designed to
respond to this slowly, but this ensures that the desired temperature is
maintained within a +/- 1°C tolerance.
The warming-up time can be shortened by setting a higher temperature
than actually required. Do not forget, however, to lower the temperature
in time (about 6–10°C below the desired temperature), otherwise the unit
will get too warm.
