MODE S A ND STA T ES

Mode
The software environment which allows certain
operations to occur. There are several modes – Off,
Warm-Up, Cook and Cool Down – in which the
oven can operate.
Off State
All the oven's control systems are off and the cook
chamber temperature is below 150 º F (65 º C).
In the Off State, power is not being supplied to
the oven's main components – the convection
blower, heaters, magnetron circuits and IR heating
element. However, there is power to the control.
Warm-Up
The mode or state in which the oven is warming
itself to the set temperature.
Soak
Mode in which oven has warmed to the set
temperature, and allows 8 minutes for cavity
surfaces to warm. NOTE: The oven enters soak
mode only if cook chamber temperature is less
than 150º F (65º C) when warm up was initiated.
Ready State
Refers to an oven that has successfully warmed-up
to the pre-defined set temperature. At this point the
oven's control is ready to receive cook commands
via the keypad.
Idle Mode
Similar to the Ready State, in this mode, the oven's
control may cycle the blower or heaters in order to
maintain the set temperature.
When in the Idle Mode, the first 8 food groups
will appear on the display.
Cook Mode
The oven is executing a recipe (cooking).
Cool Down
A subset of the Off State. During cool down, the
oven's main convection blower circulates until the
cook cavity temperature is below 150ºF (65ºC).
During cool down, all major oven components
are turned off except for the cooling fan and the
convection motor.
Test Mode
A special diagnostic mode which enables service
technicians to turn on and off all of an oven's
systems independent of one another.
