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.

CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW

POWER/BACK Button - This button is a multifunction

button. A simple press will turn the oven on. Once oven is
on, a simple press will provide a Back function to go to a
previously selected screen. Press and hold for 5 seconds
to turn oven off.

LCD Screen - Visual interface for displaying functional
operation details.

ENTER Dial/Select Knob - Rotary knob which operates
CW (Clockwise) or CCW (Counterclockwise) to highlight a
function. Pressing the knob will select that function.

START/STOP Button - This button will start or pause a
recipe when selected and running. When a recipe has been
completed, this button will stop the recipe, and control will
go to previous selection page.

NOTE: To reboot the controller, simultaneously press and hold
the POWER/BACK and START/STOP buttons for 15 seconds
or cycle power by unplugging oven.

OVEN OFF MODE

When the oven is in the off mode, the following items are
displayed.

Oven Off - Indicates that the oven is not operating.

Time and Date - Shows the present time of day and date.

Oven Model - Shows the oven model the control is operating.

Recipe Version - Provides version information of the recipe

fi le in the control.

ICON CHART

Bake Temperature Selection of this icon allows changing the Oven Set Temperature for each phase of

operation. Once selected, rotating the knob CW increases the set temperature; CCW
decreases the set temperature. When in F (Fahrenheit), the temperature increments by 5˚
for each click to maximum or minimum settings. When in C (Centigrade), the temperature
increments by 1˚ for each click to maximum or minimum settings. Once desired setting is
reached, press ENTER.

Bake Time Selection of this icon allows setting the Bake Time for each phase of operation. Once

selected, rotating the knob CW increases the time value; CCW decreases the time value.
There are two modes of operation depending on the setup by the supervisor. The default
setting changes the time by one (1) minute for each click, up to a maximum time of 24
hours. The display will be HH:MMm. The seconds mode will allow the timer to be set by
10-second increments up to 04:50s, at which point it will increment by one (1) minute
starting at 05:00m. Once desired setting is reached, press ENTER.

Steam Time Selection of this icon allows setting the Steam Time for an individual phase. The bake

mode only allows steam to be generated at the beginning of a phase for the duration
selected. Once selected, rotating the knob CW increases the time value; CCW decreases
the time value. The setting is in seconds and will increment by one (1) per click, up to a
maximum as defi ned in the toolbox (default 20 seconds). Display shows 00:SSs. Once
setting is reached, press ENTER. (NOTE: The bake time must be set greater than the
value of steam time required for the phase selected.)

Fan Speed

(HCO Model Only)

Selection of this icon allows setting the Fan Speed for an individual phase. There are
two speeds available for the HCO: High and Low. Turning the knob CW will provide High
Speed. Turning the knob CCW will provide Low Speed. Once desired setting is reached,
press ENTER.

ICON CHART

Fan Delay Selection of this icon allows setting the Fan Delay for an individual phase. This setting

delays the start of the fan for a value of minutes at the beginning of a phase. Once
selected, rotating the knob CW increases the time value; CCW decreases the time value.
The setting increments in minutes to a maximum of nine (9) minutes. Display shows
00:MMm. Once desired setting is reached, press ENTER. (NOTE: The bake time must be
set greater than the value of fan delay time required for the phase selected.)

Vent Position Selection of this icon allows the Vent Position to be Open or Closed (default). Turning the

knob CW will set Open Vent. Once desired setting is reached, press ENTER.

Multi Phase

Operation

Save Recipe Selection of this icon provides a Save Recipe feature, which will allow the user to create

Delete Recipe Completely removes recipe from the list. Must be enabled in toolbox to be visible.

Selection of this icon provides Multi-phase Baking or Cooking with additional selection to

a unique name or overwrite an existing named recipe. Once desired setting is reached,
press ENTER. See Saving a Recipe for additional information.

Manual Cook Function Overview

The Manual Cook function adds a Pulse Steam feature, which
allows steam to be produced on a repeat cycle within a phase.

Manual Recipe Function Overview

The Manual Recipe function (Fig. 5) will allow the selection
of saved recipes. Additionally, the user can manually adjust
any oven function. This function provides the ability to select
recipes that have previously been saved. This function may
require a passcode to access depending on the restrictions
placed by the supervisor. See the Toolbox Function Overview
for additional information about passcodes. Once a recipe is
chosen and selected, it will provide all the settings for review.
Settings may be changed or the recipe started.

Turn the knob to the desired recipe icon and press ENTER
to select the icon. The icon will become highlighted. See
the Using the Manual Recipe Function section for more

Toolbox Function Overview

To access the Toolbox tab turn the knob CW while on the
home screen. The Toolbox function (Fig. 6) allows the
user to change the parameter settings of the controller
and requires a passcode to access. There are four
different access levels: User, Supervisor, Technician
and Hobart Tech. These levels are passcode protected
to ensure the integrity of operation for the control
based on the skill level requirements for the variable
settings. Each successive access level has access
to all of the features of the preceding level. Hobart
Tech level is outlined in the technical service manual.

TOOLBOX SETTINGS

The Toolbox allows the user to change the controller settings and requires a passcode to access. There are
three different access levels (User, Supervisor, and Technician) each requires a different passcode. These
levels are provided to ensure the integrity of operation for the control based on the skill level requirements
for the variable settings. The Supervisor level includes all User levels, the Technician level includes all
the Supervisor levels. See the Toolbox Access Chart (page 7) for more information about access levels.
Functions are described only once for brevity. Please refer to lower access levels for unlisted function details.

USER LEVEL SETTINGS

The Toolbox function is used to verify version information, download/update recipes from a USB Thumbdrive,
change date and time and turn the oven OFF and/or ON while unattended. To access the toolbox, you
must have a 3-digit access code. See the Toolbox Access Chart for more information about access levels.

1. The oven must be on in order to access the
toolbox. Press the POWER/BACK button until

Vent Evacuation

When the vent is programmed to be open during a recipe phase, the vent will open for the Vent Evacuation
duration during the fi rst recipe phase and phases that follow vent closed phases. The remainder of time for
