Boasts the “Oven of a Lifetime”
The Alto-Shaam Cook and Hold oven has been around longer than most of the people using them. With the new Lifetime Warranty on the heating cable, the Alto-Shaam Cook and Hold guarantees a long future of hard work in the kitchen.
All Alto-Shaam Cook and Holds sold after February 1, 2009 will include a limited lifetime warranty on the heating cable. If the heating cable ever fails during normal use, it will be covered by this warranty. For more information on the warranty, click here.
“The Alto-Shaam Cook and Hold has been a staple in the commercial kitchen for more than 40 years,” said Steve Maahs, President and COO of Alto-Shaam, Inc. “This new lifetime warranty underscores the durability of this time-tested oven.”
Each and every Alto-Shaam Combitherm® combi oven is now listed as energy-efficient by the Food Service Technology Center (FSTC), operated by Fisher-Nickel, Inc. (Fish Nick). As a result, California utility customers are eligible for rebates on the purchase of Alto-Shaam Combitherms. See the Fish Nick Website for details and rebate forms.
“This listing is great news not only for our customers in California, but all of our customers,” says Steve Maahs, President and COO of Alto-Shaam. “Everyone who uses a Combitherm can be certain that they are using an energy-efficient oven that helps them create better food. As we move closer to ENERGY STAR certification for combi ovens, this is an excellent signal that the Combitherm will be recognized as a top LEED performer.”
Tests applied by the FSTC measure:
- Preheat energy and time, to measure power demands.
- Idle energy rate and pilot energy rate, to estimate energy consumption during non-cooking periods.
- Cooking-energy efficiency, to gauge energy performance under various loading conditions.
- Production capacity, to help operators choose a combi oven that matches their food output requirements.
- Water consumption, to estimate water and sewage costs.
- Condensate temperature, to verify that the condensate temperature does not violate applicable building codes.
Alto-Shaam introduced a new automatic cleaning system for its popular Combitherm® line that is easy to use and saves water.
The new SmartClean™ system uses scrubbing jets of water to
clean the Combitherm with one simple operation. No
complicated training is needed to operate this new system. Hands-free and fully automatic, the SmartClean system means less labor and a better performing oven.
The SmartClean system can use either the convenient Combitherm Cleaning Tabs™ or the heavy-duty Combitherm Cleaning Liquid™ spray to effectively
clean the oven cavity.
With the reliable EcoSmart™ design, the exclusive patented smoking feature, and the new SmartClean technology, the Alto-Shaam Combitherm brings a lot to the table. Click here for more information on Alto-Shaam Combitherm ovens.
Alto-Shaam holding cabinets are known for making time stand still when holding food. With the new temperature control technology, temperature fluctuations will stop dead in their tracks.
The new system features a digital display with an adjustable temperature control knob for simple, precise operation. Inside the holding cabinet, a temperature change sensor responds to temperature changes as little as 2ºF, reacting quickly when the door is opened to maintain holding temperature.
Already in use in Alto-Shaam banquet carts and model 1200-S and 1200-UP holding cabinets, production is now beginning on 500-S, 750-S, 1000-S, and 1000-UP model holding cabinets.

You want a combi oven, you need a convection oven, and space is not easy to come by. When this is the case, consider a Combitherm stacked on top of a Platinum Series convection oven by Alto-Shaam.
Space efficiency: If your kitchen floor space is already spoken for, start building up. A Combitherm stacked on top of a convection oven gives you double the cooking power with just a single footprint.
Multiple uses: The convection oven is a staple in any kitchen. When you stack the Combitherm on top of the convection oven, you multiply your functionality. Steam, retherm, roast, bake, oven fry, and more in the Alto-Shaam Combitherm. And with the patented smoking feature, the Alto-Shaam Combitherm can add hot- and cold-smoked items to your menu like no other combi can.
Saves money: While the wish list for many chefs include two combi ovens, sometimes that wish can be cost-prohibitive. When this happens, consider the Combitherm over convection stack. You still have all the advantages of a quality Combitherm oven, a workhorse convection oven, at a much lower price.
When you’re looking for combi options, look to Alto-Shaam, and stack it up for value and efficiency.
