3. 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 MyCare CleanDuo and DA21 cleaning products have been specially formulated for the proper cleaning and protection of Mychef ovens with automatic washing. The product contains, in addition to detergent, rinse aid for a perfect finish. The use of this detergent is mandatory for Mychef COOK 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.

The PREHEAT message is displayed during preheating processes with the oven, alternately with the current temperature of the cooking chamber.
The programme is shown with a P in the first digit, followed by the programme number. Table 7. Description of central display messages 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.
6.1.2. Cooking modes There are three cooking modes: convection, mixed and steam. To select a particular mode, click on the corresponding button. Figure 9. Cooking mode selector The convection mode acts like a forced convection oven without adding or removing moisture from the cooking chamber.
Page 23
Steam 30ºC to 130ºC 100% Table 8. Cooking modes in Mychef ovens In order to prolong the life of your oven, it is possible for the oven to automatically reduce the maximum temperature of the cooking chamber. In all cooking modes it is possible to humidify the chamber at will. To do this, press the MOIST button until the oven sprays water into the cooking chamber.
6.1.3. Cooking control Temperature and time-controlled cooking with temperature adjustment In this mode, the oven automatically brings the temperature in the chamber to the value selected by the user so that when the food is opened and loaded, the temperature in the chamber is equal to the selected value at the start of cooking.
Page 25
Once the oven is loaded and the door is closed, it will start to count down the cooking time until it is finished. At this point, the time indicator will display the code word "End", the oven will beep for a few seconds until the user finishes cooking by lightly pressing the START/STOP button.
Cooking phases On the top of the control panel there are three buttons (Convection, Mixed, and Steam), each corresponding to the cooking phases. Associated with each button is an indicator, which shows the status of the phase. Figure 15. Buttons and indicators of cooking phases If the indicator of a particular phase is lit, it means that this phase is being displayed or that the phase is activated.
6.1.4. Start of the cooking cycle Once the cooking parameters have been selected, either in manual mode or in a specific programme, we can start the process. To do this, press the START/STOP button lightly to start the preheating process (see 6.1.3.1). If preheating is not necessary, the two central dots will flash every second, indicating that the cooking process is in progress.
If the door is opened during cooking, the timer stops, and the following message is shown in the central display: Figure 20. Door open indicator 6.1.5. End of cycle At the end of a cooking cycle, the appliance signals this status visually and acoustically. Specifically: A beep sounds.
6.2. NightWatch NightWatch allows the oven to automatically continue cooking after a power failure. This functionality is particularly useful for unattended cooking. This function will only continue cooking in the event of a power failure and subsequent recovery of the power supply. This function can be disabled by your dealer.

7. REMOTE CONTROL USE 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. Create a user via the following link or QR code: https://mychef-432df.firebaseapp.com/...
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 34
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:"...
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 27. Session started without any Figure 28. Form for adding 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.

Figure 46. Inner pane fastening clips It is advisable to clean the inside of the outer pane and the inside of the inner pane on the outside with window cleaning fluid and hand paper. For the inside of the inner pane, if the dirt is not excessive, you can proceed in the same way as for the other panes.
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 start to count again from the left of the table.
Page 57
Regular maintenance ensures that your oven will always work as designed. Periodic maintenance must be proven for warranty validity. Before any manipulation for maintenance or repair, the equipment must be disconnected from the mains supply. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by your after-sales service or similarly qualified personnel in order to avoid hazards.
