OVEN BEEPING is used to indicate a Y ES or N O response to operator input.
Beeps also indicate mode C HANGES and E RROR conditions.
One brief beep indicates a Y ES (enabled) response to the information entered into the control.
Two brief beeps indicate a N O (disabled) response to the information entered into the control.
A beep that lasts for one second indicates an oven mode T RANSITION . Example: Preheat to Ready-Start.
Three brief beeps indicate the oven is in the R EADY mode for product loading and S TART - UP .
Four brief beeps indicate an existing F AULT condition. Refer to the Trouble Shooting section of this manual.

set points can be
adjusted by 1° when pressing the A RROW Keys. To change a
set point more rapidly, press and hold the A RROW Key along
with the key for the temperature function, and the
temperature changes in steps of 10°F or 5°C.
The Time setting is adjusted in increments of one minute by

RROW Keys. To make adjustment in steps of
ten minutes, press and hold the T IME Key and A RROW Key at

Probe Usage:
When the probe is left 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.
SPECIAL ATTENTION:
When preheating, the temperature of the product probe
reaches the air temperature inside the oven. Always
allow the product probe temperature to decrease to the
internal temperature of the raw product by inserting the
probe and waiting one full minute before pressing the
start button. A false reading of the internal temperature
of the product may cause the oven to default to a
holding temperature.
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.
Display High/Low Probe Temperatures:
To observe the recorded maximum or minimum probe
temperature during a cooking program press the
following keys:
Highest Temperature: Press P ROBE Key and U P A RROW
Key at same time.
Lowest Temperature: Press P ROBE Key and D OWN
A RROW Key at same time.
Halo Heat Indicator:
When the oven is preheating the Halo Heat indicator
light will remain illuminated until it reaches the set
cook temperature. Once the temperature has stabilized,
this indicator will illuminate periodically as the oven
calls for heat.
Green and Amber Indicators:
Each program key includes a green light which indicates
a requirement for additional programming by the
operator or the current operational state of the oven.
The C OOK , T IME , P ROBE , and H OLD keys include an amber
indicator light to identify the information being displayed.
