OPERATING FEATURES & FUNCTIONS

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.

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.

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 set points can be adjusted by 1° when pressing the Arrow Keys. To adjust in steps of 10°, press and hold the Temperature Key and Arrow Key at the same time.

The Time setting is adjusted in increments of 1 minute by pressing the Arrow Keys. To make adjustment in steps of 10 minutes, press and hold the Time Key and Arrow Key at the same time.

Green and Amber Indicators:
Each program key includes a green	Green
light which indicates a requirement
for additional programming by the
operator or the current operational	Amber
state of the oven.

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.

NOTE: If such an event has occurred, it is strongly recommended that you ensure the food is safe for consumption according to local health regulations.

Display High/Low Probe Temperatures:

To observe the recorded maximum or minimum probe temperature when cooking by probe, press the following keys while the probe remains in the product:

Highest Temperature: Press Probe Key and Up Arrow Key at same time.

Lowest Temperature: Press Probe Key and Down Arrow

Key at same time.

Probe Usage:

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.

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.

NOTE: When cooking by probe, insert the probe into the raw product after the oven has been preheated.

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.

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 two (2) seconds to display the probes actual temperature. Compare readings.

2.If calibration is required, press the probe key for eight (8) seconds until the unit beeps twice and the probe offset is displayed. Adjust the probe offset to match the difference between the independent probe temperature and the control probe temperature by pressing the up or down arrows to increase or decrease the offset.

3.Repeat steps 1 and 2 to verify the probe calibration as necessary.
