Start-up
Apply power to the oven. [`idle] will appear on the display. If the Real Time Clock Display option is installed and [setUp] / [time] is pro-
grammed, the time of day will appear on the display.
Preheat
If the [Ready] parameter under the [SEtUP] function in the Configuration Mode is set to yes, the controller will detect temperatures and preheat to operating temperature (above the relative set point minus the ready band) as required.
Press the key for the menu you want to run. Each key selects a different menu. You can select from up to six menus that control temperature and cooking time. Only one menu may be run at a time.
Note: The controller will not respond if you select an invalid menu (one for which the total of Time 1, Time 2, Time 3,
and Time 4 is set to 0).
The menu you have chosen becomes the current menu for controller operation. Until the menu is completed or canceled, the indicator light above the menu key will light up (flashing or steady) to indicate the active menu.
If the oven is not at operating temperature, it will preheat. Meanwhile: The word [pre-`] [`Heat] will appear on the display for a few moments. The
menu key indicator light will flash slowly. The temperature of Channel 1 will be dis­played until the operating temperature is reached.

the controller is calling for heat. When the oven is at operating temperature (above the relative set point minus the
ready band) [ready] will appear on the display and the menu key indicator light will flash rapidly. You are now ready to cook with the active menu.
If the oven is at operating temperature, the display goes directly to [ready] with­out indicating preheat or temperature.
Note: you can skip preheat and go directly to the cooking sequence by pressing the menu key a second time.
Run a Menu (when preheat feature is active)
This procedure describes how to run an active menu when the preheat feature is active
- that is, when the [ready] parameter in the [setUp] function of the Configuration
mode is set to [``yes].
1. With [`idle] or time of day on the display, press the key for the menu you want to run.
If the preheat condition has not been met, the oven will preheat until [ready] appears on the display.
Note: You can skip preheat and go directly to the cooking sequence by pressing the menu key a second time.
If the oven is already at operating temperature [ready] will appear on the display.
2. With [ready] on the display, place the food in the oven. Then press the active menu key (indicated by the rapidly flashing indicator light).
The menu key indicator will light up. Time will count down on the display. The unit will run the following four-step cooking sequence: Countdown time is displayed. It is the total of the programmed Time 1 plus Time 2
plus Time 3 plus Time 4. Set point 1 and Fan 1 will run until Time 1 expires. Set point 2 and Fan 2 will run until Time 2 expires. You will not see the switch-over
from Time 1 to Time 2. Set point 3 and Fan 3 will run until Time 3 expires. You will not see the switch-over
from Time 2 to Time 3. Set point 4 and Fan 4 will run until Time 4 expires. You will not see the switch-over
from Time 3 to Time 4.
3. When the cooking sequence is finished, one of the following will happen, depending on the way the controller was programmed at [Etype] / [sound]:
Application 7 Watlow MINICHEF 2000 7
With Sound set to 0, the controller automatically switches to idle in which the con­troller does not maintain temperature and does not run time. [`idle] or time of day will appear on the display. The menu key indicator light will be off.
With Sound set to 1, 2, or 3, [``end] will appear on the display and an audible tone will be emitted. The menu key indicator light will flash rapidly. You can acknowl­edge the tone by pressing the active menu key or it will time out in 1 to 20 seconds and go into idle. The menu key indicator light will flash slowly.
With Sound set to 4 or 5, end will appear on the display and the menu key indicator light will flash rapidly. You must acknowledge the audible signal by pressing the active menu key. Once acknowledged the audible signal is silenced and the con­troller goes into idle. The menu key indicator light will flash slowly.
4. Once the controller goes into idle, the menu key indicator light and the heat outputs will switch off. The controller will not regulate to any temperature.
5. To repeat cooking, repeat steps 1 through 2 or 3.
Run a Menu (when preheat feature is not active)
This procedure describes how to run an active menu when the preheat feature is inac­tive - in other words, when the [ready] parameter in the [setUp] function of the Configuration mode is set to [```no].
1. With idle on the display, place the food in the oven.
2. Press the key for the menu you want to run. The menu key indicator will light up. Time will count down on the display. The unit will run the following four-step cooking sequence: Countdown time is displayed. It is the total of the programmed Time 1 plus Time 2
plus Time 3 plus Time 4. Set point 1 and Fan 1 will run until Time 1 expires. Set point 2 and Fan 2 will run until Time 2 expires. You will not see the switch-over
from Time 1 to Time 2. Set point 3 and Fan 3 will run until Time 3 expires. You will not see the switch-over
from Time 2 to Time 3. Set point 4 and Fan 4 will run until Time 4 expires. You will not see the switch-over
from Time 3 to Time 4.
3. When the cooking sequence is finished, one of the following will happen, depending on the way the controller was programmed at [Etype] / [sound]:
With Sound set to 0, the controller automatically switches to idle in which the con­troller does not maintain temperature and does not run time. [`idle] or time of day will appear on the display. The menu key indicator light will be off.
With Sound set to 1, 2, or 3, [``end] will appear on the display and an audible tone will be emitted. The menu key indicator light will flash rapidly. You can acknowl­edge the tone by pressing the active menu key or it will time out in 1 to 20 seconds and go into idle. The menu key indicator light will flash slowly.
With Sound set to 4 or 5, end will appear on the display and the menu key indicator light will flash rapidly. You must acknowledge the audible signal by pressing the active menu key. Once acknowledged the audible signal is silenced and the con­troller goes into idle. The menu key indicator light will flash slowly.

4. Once the controller goes into idle, the menu key indicator light and the heat outputs will switch off. The controller will not regulate to any temperature.
5. To repeat cooking, repeat steps 1 through 2 or 3.
Pause a Menu
While cooking, you can pause cooking time by pressing the active menu key once. The menu key indicator light will flash rapidly. [PAUSE] will appear on the display. Countdown time will resume when you press the active menu key again.
Cancel a menu
Canceling a menu stops the controller completely. The controller does not maintain set point temperatures or run time. You cancel a menu to run another menu, stop menu operation for any reason, or are preparing to shut off the oven.
Press the active menu key for 2 seconds. Heat outputs will switch off. Heat output indicator lights will switch off. [`idLE] or time of day will be on the display.
Change Menus or Restart
With the controller in idle press the key for the menu you want to run.
Door Opening
When you open the oven door (when the oven door is open, the switch is closed and Event Input 1 is turned on) the unit will act as described below.
During the cooking sequence: time is paused - [`door] will appear on the display. The heat and fan output signals will shut off.
During the preheat sequence: [`door] will appear on the display. The heat and fan out­put signals will be shut off.
During idle, the fan output signals will be shut off. When you close the door the unit will operate normally.
Event Outputs
While running a menu when the Configuration Mode [EtYPE] / [FAn``] is set to [````2] :
When Low fan speed is on, Event Output 1 is on. When High fan speed is on, Event Output 2 is on.
While running a menu when the Configuration Mode [EtYPE] / [FAn``] is set to
[````1] :When the fan is on, Event Output 1 is on.
