OPERATION OF
EPICON™ VISUAL INTERFACE CONTROL (VIC)
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The Epicon Visual Interface Control (VIC) is an intuitive control providing on-screen instructions for use.
Currently offered with Baxter's OV310 series mini-rack ovens and HCO100 series hybrid convection
ovens, the Epicon control provides a common interface format that is also used on Traulsen's blast chillers;
minimizing staff training for operation and maximizing your investment. The VIC is also equipped with a
USB access port to easily import or export recipe data.
The Epicon Visual Interface Control (VIC) incorporates a POWER/BACK button, a START/STOP button,
a rotating selection knob and display screen for all choices and selections. When power to the oven is on,
the display will be illuminated and "Oven Off" will be displayed at the top. If there is no display, there is no
control power being supplied to the oven for use with the Recipe Central PC application.
