1. INTRODUCTION This manual has been carefully prepared and reviewed to provide reliable information and assistance for proper installation, use, and maintenance that will ensure proper operation and prolong the life of the oven. This manual is divided into three parts, the first part dedicated to the installation of the equipment at the working point, and the second part focused on the use and the third part in the cleaning and maintenance of the oven.

3. GENERAL SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION REGULATIONS 3.1. Personnel responsible for using the equipment The use of the equipment is reserved for trained personnel. Personnel who perform any action on the oven, such as operation, cleaning, installation, handling, etc., must be familiar with the safety regulations and the Operating Instructions.
MyCare CleanDuo and DA21 cleaning products have been specially formulated for the correct cleaning and protection of Mychef ovens with automatic washing. The product contains, in addition to detergent, polish for a perfect finish. The use of this detergent is mandatory in the Mychef Cook ovens.
4. RECEPTION, TRANSPORT AND POSITIONING Before carrying out the installation, the dimensions of the site where the equipment is to be placed and the electrical and water connections must be verified and seen to be within the parameters detailed in section 4.3. 4.1.
50mm from the back o 500mm from the top The equipment should be placed on a Mychef support table or wall mount. If there are sources of heat or steam near the equipment (stove, grill, iron, deep fryer, pasta cooker, kettle, tilting frying pan etc.), these must be at a distance of more than 1 metre.

Be extremely careful with the cooling areas of the oven. If it sucks in vapours or hot air it can drastically reduce the life span of the components. For the installation of Mychef stacked ovens, follow the instructions supplied with the corresponding stacking kit.
5. INSTALLATION 5.1. Electrical connection Check that the voltage reaching the point where the oven is to be switched on corresponds to the operating voltage of the equipment. The following table indicates the electrical characteristics of each oven: Power Rated current Cross-section cable Voltage (kW)
Never connect a phase to neutral or ground. Check that the installation voltages correspond to those of the equipment. The following subchapters show the three possible types of connections for Mychef ovens. The voltage of each oven can be found on its identification sticker.
Copper (Cu) less than 0.05 mg/L Conductivity less than 20uS/cm Use of descaler and Mychef filter mandatory. The use of water with different characteristics than those indicated may cause serious problems in the components of the oven, such as corrosion in the cooking chamber or the glass, premature failure of the solenoid valves, etc.
The Mychef Cook Pro oven incorporates an internal system to block any odours that may come from the drain. The Mychef Cook Up does not incorporate an odour blocking system. It can be ordered as an accessory. Figure 4. Drainage For correct operation, bear in mind that the pipe must have a constant slope of at least 5º.
5.3. Vapour condensation hood Refer to the installation manual supplied with the fume hood for installation. The vapour condensation hood is an optional extra. The hood can be installed once the oven is installed. PRODUCT MANUAL COOK UP | COOK PRO DT.MP.CK.2102.2 mychefcooking.com...

If the self-cleaning button is pressed, the central display will show the message CLN. However, if the temperature in the cooking chamber is too high to perform the self-cleaning process, the message COOL is displayed, indicating that cooling of the chamber must be performed prior to self- cleaning.
6.1.1. Switching on the equipment The equipment is switched on or off by pressing the START/STOP button for two seconds. In order to protect the oven from possible overheating, some protective elements may work even when the oven is switched off. When the oven is at a safe temperature it will automatically turn off.

20% Steam 30ºC to 130ºC 100% Table 8. Cooking modes in Mychef ovens In order to prolong the life of your oven, it may automatically reduce the maximum temperature of the cooking chamber. PRODUCT MANUAL COOK UP | COOK PRO DT.MP.CK.2102.2...
In all cooking modes it is possible to humidify the chamber at will. To do so, press the HUMIDITY button until the oven sprays water into the cooking chamber. 6.1.3. Cooking control Temperature and time-controlled cooking In this mode the oven automatically brings the temperature in the chamber up to the value selected by the user so that when the door is opened and the food loaded, the temperature in the chamber will be the same as the one selected at the start of cooking.
Page 24
Figure 12. Load indicator Once the oven is loaded and the door is closed, the cooking time will start to be deducted until it is finished. At this point, the time indicator will display the keyword "End", the oven will beep for one second and the interior light will light up until the user finishes cooking by pressing the START/STOP button slightly.
Figure 14. Oven temperature 6.1.4. Start of the cooking cycle Once the cooking parameters have been selected, either in manual mode or in a certain program, the process can be started. To do so, slightly press the START/STOP key to start preheating (see 6.1.3.1). If preheating is not necessary, the two central points will flash every second, indicating that the cooking process is underway.
Figure 16. Door open indicator 6.1.5. End of cycle At the end of a cooking cycle, the unit signals this status visually and acoustically. Specifically: A beep is emitted. The light in the oven chamber turns on. The keyword END appears in the central display until the user finishes the cooking.
6.1.7. Automatic cleaning Only available in models with MyCare self-cleaning system. Self-cleaning and rinsing program Using the MyCare cleaning system allows for automatic cleaning of the cooking chamber and has a washing program specifically designed to use CleanDuo detergent. The special formulation of this product stands out for having twice the concentration of active product than most similar products available on the market.
Page 28
Figure 18. Self-cleaning program Fast cooling Before placing the CleanDuo tablet, check that the temperature of the cooking chamber is not too high. If the oven is too hot, the central display will show that cooling is required. Figure 19. Required temperature setting In this mode the convection fan is turned on and the resistors are turned off.
Page 29
At this point it is important to stop the fan using the START/STOP button, open the door and insert the CleanDuo tablet into the dedicated place. Once entered, close the door again to start the cleaning program. Never place the detergent with the convection fan running. If cooling is not required, you can place the MyCare detergent directly in its allocated space, and start the cleaning or rinsing cycle by pressing the START/STOP key.
Never open the oven door during an automatic cleaning process. The process can be stopped in an emergency with the START/STOP button. If the cleaning process has been stopped without automatic completion, it is mandatory to remove all undissolved detergent tablet pieces from the chamber before proceeding with the final rinse.
6.3. Errors and alarms Errors and alarms can occur during the preparation and execution of cooking or washing processes. If this is the case, the central display will show the error or alarm code.
