when the operator pushes the START / STOP key, if no other keys are pressed, the control panel
automatically switches off. The display, control panel lights, and light inside the cooking chamber
will all be off, except for the red START / STOP light. To switch on the control panel, simply press
the START/STOP key again.
• SELECT KEY
The SELECT key allows the operator to select any of the three cooking parameters: TIME,
TEMPERATURE, and HUMIDITY.
• TIME
♦ To choose the Time function, press the SELECT key until the red Time indicator light is lit next to
the Time icon (clock) on the control panel.
♦ To set the time function, use the or key. Hold the key down to quickly scroll to desired setting.
♦ The maximum time allowed in each step is 9 hours and 59 minutes, which will show in the display
window as “9.59”. Minimum time per step is 1 minute.
♦ Press the key when time is set at “0”, and “INF” will appear in the display window. The oven will
then work continuously until you stop it by pressing the START / STOP key.
• TEMPERATURE
♦ To choose the Temperature function, press the SELECT key until the red Temperature indicator
light is lit next to the Temperature icon (thermometer) on the control panel.
♦ To set the temperature, use the or keys. Hold the key down to quickly scroll to desired setting.
♦ The usable operating temperature range is approx. 140°F to 500°F. The default temperature is 356°F.
• HUMIDITY
♦ To choose the Humidity function, press the SELECT key until the red Humidity indicator light is lit
next to the Humidity icon (water drops) on the control panel.
♦ To set the percentage of humidity, press the or keys. Humidity can be set from low of 0 to high
of 100, in increments of 20. These ovens are not designed for steaming foods.
♦ When operating below 300°F, a maximum humidity setting of 40 or less is recommended. Otherwise,
the oven may develop excess water in the cooking cavity.
• STEP KEY
The STEP key allows the operator to select one, two, or three cooking steps. These steps will run in
sequence when cooking values (Time, Temperature, and Humidity) have been entered in each step, and
may be saved as a program if desired. (See “PROGRAMMED MODE” below.)
• START / STOP COOKING CYCLE
♦ To start or stop the cooking cycle, press the START / STOP key.
♦ At the end of the cooking cycle, the heating element(s) and fan(s) will stop running and a tone will
sound for 15 seconds. The digits “0.00” will flash for 45 seconds in the display window. The original
temperature remains as entered at the beginning of the cooking cycle and the START / STOP LED
will remain on.
♦ If during the 45 seconds of flashing digits, the operator chooses to set a different time / temperature /
humidity variable (using the or , and SELECT keys) and begin another cook cycle, the oven
will then automatically begin the new cook cycle.
♦ At the end of the 45 seconds, or if the cooking cycle is interrupted by pressing the START / STOP
key, all the parameters previously set will be erased, unless they have been saved as a “program” and
assigned a number in memory. (See “PROGRAMMED MODE” below.)
• TO MODIFY YOUR COOKING PARAMETERS DURING THE COOKING CYCLE
While the oven is in its cooking cycle, it is possible to review the cooking parameters and modify them if
