FOOD SERVICE STEAM MODE
This mode can be used to provide steam on a periodic basis throughout operation. When this mode
is enabled, the STEAM TIMER controls how many seconds of steam are provided to the oven, while
a value entered in the Parameter 14 (P14) setup controls how frequently the steam is operated.
To enable the Food Service Steam mode:
1. Enter the parameter set up mode by pressing and holding the START button and POWER ON
OFF button.
2. Select Parameter 14.
3. If the BAKE TIMER window displays ‘0’, it is set up for Bakery Mode (factory default). Press the
UP or DOWN arrow buttons to enter FSS mode (display will change to a 3-digit number).
4. Set the desired time between steam cycles using the UP or DOWN arrow buttons. The range is
from 300 seconds (5 min.) to 990 seconds (approximately 17 min.), and increments by 10
seconds at a time.
5. After setting the desired cycle, press the POWER ON OFF button to save the settings.
6. The STEAM TIMER will now operate in 1-second increments, up to 10 seconds, to set the duration
of steaming.
Examples: ‘300’ is selected for P14
‘3’ is entered in STEAM TIMER
= steam is turned on for 3 seconds every 300 seconds (5 min.)
‘990’ is selected for P14
‘3’ is entered in STEAM TIMER
= steam is turned on for 3 seconds every 990 seconds (17 min.)
To return the oven to Bakery Mode, repeat the above process to access P14 and set the value in the
BAKE TIMER window to ‘0’. The STEAM TIMER will now operate in 5-second increments.
KOSHER OPERATION MODE (OVENS EQUIPPED WITH KOSHER PACKAGE)
NOTE: The oven will be put into Kosher operation mode by authorized personnel at the time
of start-up.
For Kosher operations, the oven must maintain a minimum temperature in order to retain Kosher
approval. The oven control will make the minimum set temperature 200°F in order to maintain minimum
temperature requirements. Do not attempt to set the oven temperature below this point.
If the oven temperature is at risk of falling below the approved range, a rapid beep alarm will sound
(faster than the normal BAKE TIMER alarm). If you hear this alarm, do the following:
Check that the oven door is closed.
If the Vent mode is active, turn the Vent off.
If the oven temperature falls below 150°F, the control will lock out. The display will read ‘LOC OUT’ and
the unit will not operate. Authorized personnel must be contacted to restart the oven.
If the control is inadvertently turned OFF while in kosher mode, when powered ON, the control will re-
start in kosher mode as long as the temperature has not dropped below the minimum requirements.
