GENERAL SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION RULES 3.1. Personnel in charge of the use of the equipment The use of the equipment is reserved for trained personnel. Personnel performing any action on the oven, be it use, cleaning, installation, handling, etc., must be aware of the safety regulations and operating instructions.
The DA21 cleaning product has been specially formulated for the correct cleaning and protection of Mychef ovens with manual assisted washing. The product contains, in addition to detergent, rinse aid for a perfect finish. The use of this detergent is mandatory for Mychef SNACK ovens.
4. RECEPTION, TRANSPORT AND LOCATION Before installation, the dimensions of the site where the equipment is to be located and the electrical and water connections must be checked to ensure that they are within the parameters detailed in section 4.3. 4.1.
50mm at the rear o 500mm from the top The equipment must be placed on a Mychef support table or wall bracket. If there are sources of heat or steam near the equipment (cooker, grill, griddle, 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 zones of the oven. If it draws in fumes or hot air, this can drastically reduce the life span of the components. For the installation of stacked Mychef ovens, please follow the instructions supplied with the stacking kit.
5. INSTALLATION 5.1. Electrical connection Check that the voltage at the point where the oven is to be connected coincides with the operating voltage of the equipment. The following table indicates the electrical characteristics of each of the devices: Power Rated current Cable cross-section Voltage...
Never connect a phase to neutral or ground. Check that the installation voltages correspond to those of the equipment. The following sub-chapters show the possible connection types for Mychef ovens. The voltage of each oven can be found on the oven identification sticker.
Copper (Cu) less than 0.05 mg/L Conductivity less than 20uS/cm Use of decalcifier and Mychef filter mandatory. The use of water with characteristics other than those indicated may cause serious problems in the oven components, such as corrosion in the baking chamber or the glass, premature failure of the solenoid valves, etc.
Figure 3. Water inlet for SNACK AIR-S In the case of a new installation, the water must be allowed to run until the connection is completely purified. This operation must be repeated each time that work, or repairs are carried out on the water system supplying the oven.
In addition, it has eight quick access memories. The following figures show the control panel of a Mychef SNACK AIR and SNACK AIR-S oven. Each panel consists of a central screen with displays, indicators, and buttons.

The central display is a very important part of interacting with the oven, as it indicates the value of each cooking parameter. Figure 7. Central display The display format of the parameters is explained below: Icon Function The humidity level is displayed with an H in the first digit. The humidity value is then displayed.
Page 20
The programme is shown with a P in the first digit, followed by the programme number. The level is displayed either by indicating THIS or FER. Level 1 (THIS) accesses the oven parameters, and level 2 (FER) accesses the proofer parameters (OPTIONAL). This icon indicates that a cooking process has been completed.
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 protection elements may operate even when the oven is switched off. When the oven is at a safe temperature, they will automatically switch off.
Page 22
Figure 9. Preheat indicator The preheating process can be skipped by lightly pressing the START/STOP key. When the set temperature has been reached, the oven will alert the user with a buzzer and indicate "Load". Figure 10. Charging indicator Once the oven is loaded and the door is closed, it will start to count down the cooking time until cooking is complete.

Example of cooking at 90º for 10 minutes: Figure 11. Example. Cooking 90ºC for 10 minutes Figure 12. Oven temperature Cooking phases On the top of the control panel there are three buttons, P1, P2, and P3, each corresponding to the cooking phases. Associated with each button is an indicator, which shows the status of the phase.
Figure 13. Buttons and cooking phase indicators If the indicator of a particular phase is lit and flashing, it means that this phase is being displayed. If the indicator of a particular phase is lit continuously, it indicates that this phase is activated.
Figure 15. Cooking indicator If the door is opened during cooking, the timer stops and the following message is shown in the central display: Figure 16. Door open indicator 6.1.4. End of cycle At the end of a cooking cycle, the appliance signals this status visually and acoustically. Specifically: A beep sounds.
Figure 17. Maximum speed (HI) and reduced speed (LO) The SNACK AIR models only have a single speed, changing direction every 90 seconds. 6.1.6. Saving a programme To save a programme, press the PROG key and select the programme with the +/- keys.
6.1.7. Recovering a programme To recall a programme, lightly press the PROG key and set the programme number where you want to save the settings with the +/- keys. The figure below shows programme 1. Figure 19. Example, programme 1 Then lightly press the PROG key to display the programme settings.
In the event of a power failure and subsequent restoration of the power supply, the oven recovers the firing in progress (if any) and continues with the same parameters as before the power failure. 6.3. Errors and alarms Errors and alarms may occur during the preparation and execution of cooking or washing processes.

7. USE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL 7.1. Mychef Smart Control configuration 7.1.1. Creating a new user The first step to configure the remote control is to create a user, with which the different ovens to be controlled will later be linked.
Once the oven is connected to the power socket, it can be viewed as a Wi-Fi network from any device (mobile phone, tablet, or computer). The Wi-Fi network will appear with the name "Mychef" followed by a number in brackets (the MAC address of the device).
Page 32
It is important to write down the MAC address that appears in the different points of the configuration, as this is unique for each device and will be necessary to link the equipment to the remote control. We recommend copying the number that appears after the heading "MAC Address:"...
5GHz networks are not compatible with the Smart Control functionality. Once the Wi-Fi network has been configured, it is important to wait a few minutes until the Wi-Fi network (Mychef + MAC address) disappears. If this does not happen, it means that the configuration data entered to authenticate on the Wi-Fi network are not correct, so you will have to start the process again.
Figure 25. Session started without any Figure 26. Form to add a new device linked device If all the above steps have been carried out correctly, the oven control panel will appear with the different buttons and text boxes to display and change the different parameters that are configured in the linked equipment, as well as the actual values of temperature, humidity and cooking time.

Cleaning frequencies in Mychef ovens Before starting any cleaning programme, trays, racks, grids, probes, or other accessories inside the chamber must be removed. 8.1.1. Aspiration The part that separates the cooking chamber with the fan and the heating element can be removed to clean this area.
Figure 42. Suction plate fixing screws Once the part has been removed, cleaning can proceed, either manually or automatically. Use extreme caution when cleaning this part of the oven. Leave the door ajar and wait until the chamber fan stops. When this process has been completed, the suction part of the chamber fan must be replaced in reverse order.
8.1.3. Outer casing To clean the outer casing, use a cloth dampened with dishwashing soap and water or a stainless-steel cleaner. Then rinse and dry. To clean the glass on the outside of the outer door, use glass cleaner and hand paper to avoid scratching the glass.
These periodic inspections must be carried out by an authorised service technician. The following table shows the operations to be carried out on Mychef ovens in each of the revisions. The table is circular, and after 20,000h of use or 10 years of use, the time would mychefcooking.com...
