Introducing the revolutionary Electrolux air-o-steam® TOUCHLINE oven that simplifies cooking, and saves money with little environmental impact.

Electrolux has been offering best-in-class professional ovens since 1950. The air-o-steam® combi oven range - introduced in 1977 - is world-renowned for its state-of-the-art technology. Today, Electrolux introduces the newest addition to its professional air-o-steam® range: the air-o-steam® TOUCHLINE.

“The new air-o-steam® TOUCHLINE combi oven is truly one of a kind,” says Angelo Grillas, Director of Marketing, for Electrolux Professional North America.  "It is the evolution of Electrolux combi ovens, a perfect blend of Electrolux's history and future. The new air-o-steam® TOUCHLINE symbolizes our commitment to technologically advanced, reliable and environmentally sustainable products.”

When developing the air-o-steam® TOUCHLINE, Electrolux Professional conducted approximately 1,200 interviews with end users all around the world to get their input for the new oven. “Research has shown that our customers need a simple easy-to-operate control panel without jeopordizing the integrity and performance of an Electrolux combi oven,” explains Grillas.

Simplicity at your fingertips

With air-o-steam® TOUCHLINE, there’s no more need for complicated cooking: a single touch is all that’s required to prepare delicious meals due to the userfriendly High Definition Touch Screen featuring 262,000 colors, 30 languages, and internationally-recognized icons and food images. 

“The new intuitive interface is perfect for all types of customers and kitchens, requiring Automatic, Manual or Pre-Set cooking. Operating the oven can be as easy as you want it to be” says Grillas. 

The new air-o-steam® TOUCHLINE cooking modes are as follows: 

• Automatic 
The automatic mode is the easiest way to cook. It offers eight cooking categories according to different food types: just select the icon or food image and relax! TOUCHLINE automatically detects the type of food and load size. Cooking time, temperature, and ideal cooking climate are then calculated, and adjusted automatically and continuously. 

• Programs 
The programs mode allows users to save their preferred recipes and repeat them anytime. TOUCHLINE is the only oven that offers memory for up to 1,000 recipes, which can be saved on a USB stick and replicated or sent via e-mail, and used in any TOUCHLINE-equipped kitchen. 

• Manual 
The manual mode is the traditional way of cooking, which allows chefs to set and keep the oven under constant control at the touch of a finger, while taking care of the everyday activities in the kitchen.

 One of the greenest ovens on the market Electrolux is making positive contributions to sustainable development through its operations as well as through its energy-efficient products like the air-o-steam® TOUCHLINE oven, one of the greenest ovens on the market. The oven’s highly-efficient, low-pollutant gas burners allow for CO2 emissions that are 10 times lower than the limits set by Gastec (the Dutch government certification, which is the strictest in Europe) and 100 times lower than the European Standard Limit.
