After selecting the Save button, the following screen appears where you must enter the
necessary data to correctly describe the recipe you want to save.
Category: Establishing a category will allow a better management of recipes, the categories
are as follows:
Selecting the ingredients field will open a new window in which you can enter the
ingredients that make up the recipe.
Next, we ask you to add the different steps that make up the preparation of the recipe. At
each step it will be possible to upload an image to illustrate the preparation procedure.
It is possible to adjust the number of diners or trays to know exactly the quantities of
ingredients to be used in each case. By means of the parametric calculation, the ingredients
section will show the new quantities required for the preparation of the recipe.
CookingPlanner mode allows you to cook several trays of the same food or different foods
or recipes that require different cooking times in different levels.
For simultaneous cooking, only preparations with similar cooking profiles can be selected
from Chef, SmartCooking or Recipes mode, which are the same in terms of temperature
and humidity. Therefore, it will be possible to combine a cooking in this cooking mode when
the parameters are similar and only the cooking time varies. In order to load SmartCooking
cookings in the CookingPlanner mode, it will be necessary to save them in the recipe book
with the desired parameters. A clock icon at the top left will indicate that the recipe is
compatible with CookingPlanner mode. These cooking do not allow cooking cycles.
To load a CookingPlanner, select Multilevel or JustInTime and press the (+) button at the
desired level, then access the recipe book where the recipes compatible with this cooking
mode appear. Then select a first recipe and click "Add to Multilevel" or "Add to Just InTime".
The CookingPlanner mode has two different profiles from which you can choose:
- Multilevel: for cooking that starts at the same time, under a single cooking cycle and
different finishing times depending on the recipe of each tray. The system will notify
the user via the display and on the mobile device via a notification when each tray
must be removed at the end of cooking. Additional products can be loaded, cooking
stops when the door is opened. When the door closes, the process will resume.
- Just InTime: for recipes that we want to be ready at the same time, notifying you
when to load the trays at different times. In this case, the system will notify when trays
need to be introduced based on cooking time to allow all food to be cooked at a
particular time. This cooking mode maintains the set temperature and humidity.
Any cooking process can be interrupted without interfering with the other loads.
At the end of a cooking process, both in Multilevel and Just InTime, the screen will show in
green which of the trays is to be extracted, in order to continue cooking. Performing the
action of opening the door, pulling out the tray and closing the door.
Probe cooking is permitted only on one of the trays. In this case, the cooking of this tray will
end when the temperature set for the probe is reached.
To display the total number of trays, it is possible to slide by pressing on screen or using the
rotary knob.
You can save a list of recipes in Multilevel or JustInTime under "My Recipes", either after
loading all the recipes you want to cook, through the save option in the header, or once the
process is finished, as shown below:
6.5. Regenerate
The regenerating mode allows the regeneration of almost all types of previously cooked
foods, where they are finished cooking and prepared to be served, for this purpose the
foods can be already arranged in plates or containers. You can select to regenerate
manually with the "Chef Mode" or assisted "SmartCooking Mode".
- Chef Mode: To start this mode it is necessary to adjust the Humidity, Temperature

- Safe Steam, if activated, removes steam from the chamber during the last moments
of cooking. In order to avoid burns or steam discomfort when opening the door,
Mychef ovens can remove steam from the chamber at the end of the cooking
process. Even when in convection mode, this extraction can be useful to eliminate
the steam that may be released from food in the cooking chamber.
When the oven enters the steam extraction process, a large amount of steam can
escape through the chimney, depending on the saturation level. The use of a
condensing hood is recommended for Mychef ovens.
Please note that steam extraction only works in the final moments of
cooking. Therefore, this action does not occur when the oven door is
opened during cooking.
- The energy-saving option optimizes certain functions and improves the energy
efficiency of the oven.
6.7.6. Probe
This section allows you to display the oven temperature readings at different points.
Each register is associated to a temperature reading point of the oven, allowing to control
different critical points of the oven.
This submenu allows you to set up the oven by checking the basic points for correct
operation.
The user or the TS (in the case of the first use and start-up of the oven) is guided through six
steps to carry out the following checks:

The equipment allows the loading and unloading of recipes and images in addition to
HACCP data.
The equipment allows the recording of temperatures and events occurring during normal
use. To record data, insert a memory into the USB connector in the lower right corner of the
oven.
6.7.12. Consumption
In this section is possible to consult the data corresponding to the energy consumption of
the oven and HACCP.
In order to know the water and energy consumption, it is possible to delimit the desired
range, be it annual, monthly, daily or hourly.
The oven configuration allows working both in the international measurement system and
in the Anglo-Saxon system. By selecting one of the two options and pressing the back
button, the configuration will be saved, and the system restored.
This section allows to consult the internal configuration parameters of the oven and
facilitates the diagnosis of faults and malfunctions as well as its solution to the Technical
Assistance Service.
6.7.15. NightWatch
NightWatch allows the oven to automatically continue cooking after a power failure. This
functionality is especially useful for unattended cooking.
This function will only continue with cooking in the event of a power failure
and subsequent recovery of the power supply.
This function can be disabled by your dealer. Make sure that you fully
understand the risks involved in using it.
When a cut occurs and the power supply is subsequently restored, the oven recovers the
current cooking (if any) and continues it with the same parameters prior to cutting.
The following figure shows the oven display when the power is restored and just before
starting NightWatch functionality. Pressing the START/STOP key in this state will cancel
automatic recovery.
If it is not cancelled, the Mychef oven automatically checks the temperature of the cooking
chamber. If the temperature is below 56°C there may be a risk of bacterial contamination.
In this case, the oven will continue cooking but will display error 28 when pressing the
START/STOP button to end the cooking cycle. In this case, the final user shall decide the
fate of the food, taking into account the risks of possible bacterial contamination.
To minimize risks, analyse the food after such a low temperature warning
when it is automatically recovered from cooking or discard it (Error 28).
During the preparation and execution of any of the programs available in the oven, errors
may occur. If an error occurs in the system during use, it will be displayed in the error list.
The table below shows the different errors and alarms, as well as possible solutions to them.

7.1. Cleaning
It is the responsibility of the owner to carry out regular maintenance and cleaning. To
maintain the warranty, it must be possible to check that maintenance has been carried out
correctly and according to the instructions detailed in this manual.
One of the important parts in the maintenance of the equipment is its cleaning. Therefore,
the equipment should be cleaned more or less frequently depending on the area of the
equipment.
Below is a table showing the frequency with which the different parts of the equipment
should be cleaned.
7.1.1. MyCare
Using the Mychef cleaning system allows automatic cleaning of the cooking chamber. This
option includes several self-cleaning profiles available, as shown below:
The time required to carry out each program and the use and usefulness of each program
are listed in the table below.
When starting a washing program, it is necessary to know the instructions for use and
warnings of danger that appear on the MyCare "Cleanduo" washing tablets.
Before the self-cleaning cycle, remove any pieces of solid food that may be inside the
chamber by hand. To remove food residues from the cooking chamber, remove them
beforehand and prevent them from going down the drain. You should not place trays or
racks during the washing process. It must always be carried out without load, to ensure that
the equipment is cleaned properly.
For the use of the washing processes in as much as for the handling of the
products used in the process, appropriate protections must be used.
Cleaning programs are specifically designed to use MyCare Cleanduo detergent. The
special formulation of this product stands out for having twice the concentration of active
product than that of most similar products available on the market. It also includes a
polishing additive for a perfect all-in-one finish. This allows you to use only one MyCare
Cleanduo tablet per wash, with the consequent savings and ease of use.
Once the selected washing program has been started, the display will show the oven user
the progress and ask him/her to perform the necessary actions to carry out the task correctly.
At the end of a washing program, the chamber may be dried. To do this, it is necessary to
select the option "Dry at the end of the camera", at the beginning of the program, prior to
selecting START/STOP.
Before inserting the MyCare CleanDuo tablet, check that the cooking chamber temperature
is not too high. In certain cases, before the start of the washing program, it will be necessary
to cool the chamber by means of the Cooldown action in order to ensure that the washing
is carried out correctly. The oven will begin a cooling process that can be done with the
door open to make it faster. A dierct notification will display through the following screen:
Once the right temperature is reached, insert the detergent into the dedicated housing.
Once entered, close the door again to start the cleaning program.
If cooling is not required, you can place the MyCare detergent directly in its assigned space
and start the cleaning or rinsing.
Before starting any cleaning process other than rinsing, make sure that the
detergent tablet has been placed in the oven.
To insert the detergent tablet into the chamber, it is essential to stop the
fan. It is important not to introduce the detergent while it is running in order
to prevent the detergent from being drawn into the air stream and
endangering the health of the user.
The duration of the self-cleaning programs specified does not take into
account any cooling time of the chamber.
Never open the door of the cooking chamber during an automatic cleaning
process.
If the cleaning process has been stopped without the cleaning process
being completed automatically, it is mandatory to remove all undissolved
pieces of detergent tablet from the chamber before proceeding with the
final rinse.
If any of the automatic cleaning processes are completed and you detect that there is any
detergent residue in the chamber (even behind the fan cover plate), perform a rinsing
program or perform a thorough manual rinsing of the cooking chamber.
If there is a power failure during the cleaning process, an error message will be displayed
on the control panel (error 26) when the oven is turned on again. In this case, and in order
to prevent detergent and brightener residue from remaining in the chamber, run a rinse
program.
The piece that separates the cooking chamber with the fan and the heating element can be
removed to clean that area. In order to remove this piece, it is necessary to turn 90 degrees,
using a screwdriver or similar, the tabs that hold it.
Once the part has been removed, cleaning can be done either manually or automatically.
Extreme care must be taken when cleaning this part of the oven. Leave
the door ajar and wait until the chamber fan stops.
When this process has been completed, the chamber fan suction part must be replaced in
reverse.
Once the cleaning of the chamber has been completed, the washing process will continue
with the seal that ensures the watertightness of the chamber. It is important that this part of
To clean the outer casing, use a cloth moistened with water and dishwashing soap or
specific stainless-steel cleaner. Then rinse and dry.
To clean the glass on the outside through the outer door, use glass cleaner and hand paper
to avoid scratching the glass.
To clean the control panel, use a cloth dampened with water and dishwashing soap. Then
rinse and dry.
Never use agents with alcohols or solvents, as they may attack the metals or plastics in the
control panel.
This piece is the one that allows water drops that may fall from the condensation of steam
from the interior door to go to the drain, so it is important to keep this water collector clean
and unobstructed.
Remove any bits of food that may have fallen out before cleaning. Then clean with a cloth
wet with soap and water and finally rinse with plenty of water.
To clean this compartment, the outer door must be opened, and the inner door clips
opened so that the door can be opened and the chamber between the outer and inner door
can be accessed.
It is advisable to clean the inside of the outer glass and the inside glass on the outside with
glass cleaning fluid and hand paper. For the inside of the inner glass, if the dirt is not
excessive, you can proceed in the same way as the other glass. If there is a lot of dirt, a semi-
automatic or automatic cleaning cycle can be done to remove this excess dirt.
Once cleaning is complete, the inner door can be closed and secured with the staples.
Cleaning the oven with a pressure washer is harmful to the equipment and
could result in breakage and void the warranty of the equipment.
Do not use the hand shower accessory on the door glass while it is hot, there
is a danger of breakage due to thermal shock.
For the stainless-steel housing use a cloth dampened in a mixture of water and detergent,
or specific detergent for stainless steel.
Mychef ovens are designed for intensive and long-lasting operation. For this to happen, in
addition to regular cleaning tasks, preventive maintenance must be carried out. This
preventive maintenance is specifically designed to prolong the life of your Mychef oven,
minimize energy and water usage, and ensure excellent cooking quality without
interruption.
This maintenance program is segmented into four types of revisions, A, B, C and D, which
should be performed approximately every year or 2.000 working hours, whichever comes
first.
These periodic reviews should be carried out every 2.000h of work or every
year, whichever comes first.
The following table shows the operations to be performed on Mychef ovens at each of the
revisions. The table is circular, and from 20.000h of use or 10 years would start counting
again on the left of the table. That is to say, at 22.000h it would correspond to revision A of
2.000h.
